ENJOY A LIFE OF PURE BLISS WITHIN AN EXPANSIVE CONSERVANCY JUST A 45 MINUTES’ DRIVE FROM PRETORIA

Gorgeous double-story homestead, set on 20 hectares that borders the river, in the safety of a fully fenced conservancy (850 hectare), a mere 45 minutes’ drive from Pretoria. Here your visitors will consist of giraffe, eland, wildebeest, zebra, blesbuck, impala, kudu, warthog and smaller game species who drop in whenever they are passing by. The conservancy, dam and river are a paradise for birdwatchers, both young and old, with a large variety of species throughout the year. Many wildlife rescues have been released here for a safe new lease on life.

The homestead, with rolling lawns and mature trees, is the ideal spot to enjoy a carefree existence. Three covered vegetable gardens and the abundant water supply enables one to grow all your own veggies.

Ideal surroundings for creating a weekend breakaway or a permanent homestead and a perfect alternative to retirement home living. Here long walks, mountain biking, bird watching and relaxed days in total tranquillity, are the norm. Children can play freely, away from the hustle and bustle of the constraints of city life.

The twenty-hectare portions, are currently part of a share block company and are in the process of being converted into full title properties. The conservancy, previously consisted of three separate farms, that were recently consolidated and the sub-division process is underway, to provide for full title properties where each land owner will receive a separate title deed.

The conservancy aims to enhance the natural surrounds and create tranquillity for the land owners. Both plants and animals are preserved and no domestic pets or farm animals are permitted, so as to prevent the introduction of diseases and any interference with the roaming herds. No ploughing or other farming activities are allowed in the conservancy.

All transactions are currently strictly cash. Buyers will only be able to apply for bond finance once the title deeds have been issued and the share certificates are replaced with title deeds.
