Eco-Conscious Country Living | Peacevale, Drummond - 6.84 Hectares • River Frontage • Sustainable Lifestyle Potential
Seller open to fair offers and keen to conclude a sale
Step away from the rush and into a slower, greener way of life on this exceptional 6.84-hectare smallholding, tucked into the lush Peacevale valley on the edge of Drummond — just minutes from Hillcrest and with easy access to Durban and Pietermaritzburg via the N3.
With river frontage, a small dam, and substantial portions of the land falling within an environmentally protected zone, this property offers a rare opportunity to live in harmony with nature while remaining conveniently connected to urban amenities.
A Sustainable Lifestyle with Purpose - Perfectly suited to buyers who value ethical land use, low-impact living, and environmental integrity, this smallholding lends itself beautifully to a range of eco-friendly income streams that work with the land rather than against it.
The property is ideally suited for:
- Hydroponic systems for herbs, leafy greens, and microgreens
- Cultivation of cut flowers, medicinal plants, or indigenous species
- Beekeeping to enhance pollination and produce raw honey
- Permaculture, organic vegetables, and indigenous gardening
Each option aligns naturally with the land’s ecology, making it ideal for conscious, small-scale farming or regenerative practices.
Income Potential & Practical Infrastructure - A large on-site shed / workshop provides excellent flexibility and opens up multiple income-generating possibilities, including:
- Small-scale agricultural processing and packaging (dried herbs, sauces, flower bunching)
- Conversion into a sustainable egg or rabbit farming operation using welfare-focused methods
- These options allow for meaningful income generation while preserving the character and environmental value of the land.
Dual Living & Rental Opportunity:
- The main 4-bedroom farmhouse requires renovation and repair, offering a blank canvas to create a personalised country homestead filled with character and charm.
An unfinished 2-bedroom cottage presents excellent potential and can be completed as:
- A long-term rental
- An Airbnb or weekend eco-retreat
- Wellness or nature-based accommodation
With increasing demand for countryside escapes and eco-stays, this cottage offers a simple yet effective additional income stream.
Nature, Community & Peace of Mind - Set within a semi-rural community supported by an active Farm Watch, the area benefits from a strong network of like-minded landowners. Nearby conservancies and trails invite hiking, riding, and outdoor exploration — a lifestyle deeply connected to nature, wellbeing, and community.
A Rare & Meaningful Opportunity - Whether you’re looking to embrace sustainable living, start a gentle farming venture, or develop an eco-retreat with income potential, this smallholding offers a rare blend of environmental integrity, rural tranquility, and future opportunity.
