GORGEOUS HOMESTEAD SET WITHIN A SECURE CONSERVANCY / GAME FARM A MERE 45 MINUTES’ DRIVE FROM PRETORIA
Wake up to the soothing sound of the river and the cheerful song of birds. Unique opportunity to invest in a gorgeous, thatched homestead and 20 hectares, that includes a stretch of river frontage, in the safety of a fully fenced conservancy (850 hectare), a mere 45 minutes’ drive from Pretoria. Here your worst roadblock would be having to wait for the large herds of free roaming giraffe, eland, wildebeest, zebra, blesbok, impala, kudu, warthog and smaller game species to clear the road. The conservancy, dam and river are a paradise to birdwatchers, with an incredible variety through all seasons. Many wildlife rescues have been released here for a safe new lease on life.
The homestead is set higher ground, with beautiful views across the valley and grasslands. The river will never pose a threat even if it is in flood.
Ideal surroundings for creating a weekend breakaway or a permanent homestead and an amazing alternative to the confines of a retirement home. Here long walks, mountain biking, bird watching and relaxed days in total tranquillity are the norm. Children can safely play in nature away from the hustle and bustle of the constraints imposed by city life.
