A privately positioned eco reserve in the Crocodile Gorge Mountains, ±32km from Mbombela, combining a fully operational lodge, aviation access, and over 1,100 hectares of conservancy land, with defined long-term positioning along the proposed Mountain View Dam boundary.
This is a working asset with scale, infrastructure, and water security — not raw land — with future upside linked to a government-backed water project along its southern boundary.

FUTURE DAM POSITIONING (KEY DIFFERENTIATOR)
The proposed Mountain View Dam will follow the existing river line along the southern boundary:

• Full 2.5km boundary transitions from river to dam frontage
• Remaining ±1,100 hectares unaffected
This introduces long-term positioning for:
• Waterfront-aligned tourism
• Expanded hospitality use
• Future development potential (subject to approvals)
The project is currently in planning and environmental phases.
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
• Existing eco reserve operation
• Potential for expansion, repositioning or subdivision
• Suitable for investor-operator or conservation-led ownership
INVESTMENT POSITION
This is suited to buyers who understand long-term value creation through:
• land positioning
• operational assets
