Property Details

This 21,4 hectare plot of land is close to the Hennops River. The property is 2km off the tar in the Hennops River Conservancy, part of the Crocodile River Reserve. This is the ideal place for a getaway from Johannesburg or Pretoria. The land is undeveloped but has access from 2 sides and there is power on the next plot, so getting power is simple. Boreholes in the area are strong. Two small streams cross the property. Views from the farm are stunning - to the North and West are mountains and to the East and South there are uninterrupted views - just you and the land. The Crocodile River Reserve is well managed and charged with protecting the pristine grasslands and environment. Game roams the reserve freely and access to the entire area is restricted. In the longer term the entire reserve will be fenced and protected, making this the ideal place to get that peace and quiet without threat of development or intruders. Properties in the Crocodile River Reserve, which has many advantages: 1. Properties in the Reserve are protected from any land claim 2. There is a management authority (MA) which looks after the reserve, attending to all legal matters (the reserve was gazetted in November 2019 and is a reality). The MA protects the ecosystem in the reserve, ensures that rules are observed and protects the area from land invasions (which is enshrined in the constitution). The MA also represents the interests of the owners/members in all matters. 3. The reserve has the highest biodiversity rating given, which makes it very special. It is primarily pristine grasslands. 4. There are significant tax benefits - the Income Tax Act, section 37 C and D allow owners to offset the value of the land over 25 years. There are no rates on the land, only the improvements (buildings) and maintenance of the land in order to preserve the reserve can be claimed against income (via a maintenance claim form which is submitted to the MA). 5. Members of the reserve (99 has opted in and may not withdraw) are bound by the constitution. The intention is to protect the ecosystem which means no commercial farming is permitted. Owners are encouraged to allow free movement of game (eland, kudu, impala, duiker, etc), so fencing of the full plot is discouraged. Fencing around the buildings is, of course, permitted, and this could include quite a large area. The property is ideal for building a secluded home in the peace and quiet of a well-managed nature reserve.
