Vintage Bushveld Charm at the Foot of the Northern Drakensberg

Timeless Bushveld Retreat Beneath the Drakensig Mountains

Exclusive Sole Mandate | Price Excluding VAT

Only 38 kilometres from Hoedspruit, this remarkable 114-hectare game farm captures the unhurried spirit of a bygone safari era.

The property offers an evocative blend of untamed landscape, traditional lodge architecture and authentic Lowveld atmosphere. Although it is currently enjoying a quieter season and would benefit from sensitive refurbishment, its enduring character and considerable potential are immediately apparent.

The Main Lodge

At the centre of the property stands the main lodge—a welcoming communal space comprising a bar, lounge, kitchen and swimming pool. Beneath its thatched roof, generations of visitors have gathered, shared stories and watched bushveld evenings unfold.

The lodge would benefit from updating, yet its structure, warmth and unmistakable safari character remain firmly in place, providing an excellent foundation for thoughtful renewal.

Adjoining the lodge is a beautifully finished cottage with a spacious open-plan lounge, generous kitchen and dining area. The owners’ private accommodation offers two en-suite bedrooms and could remain an exclusive personal retreat or be incorporated into the guest offering.

Characterful Rondavel Accommodation

Five rondavels are tucked beneath mature trees, surrounded by natural bushveld. Private verandas create peaceful places from which to watch giraffe and antelope move through the landscape or enjoy the sounds of the early-morning birdlife.

Each rondavel offers bathroom facilities and an outdoor shower. Two include atmospheric open-air bush bathrooms, while the remaining units make use of a traditional shared facility. Rustic and nostalgic, the accommodation retains the simplicity of a classic safari stay and presents an appealing opportunity for considered modernisation.

Wildlife, Wilderness and Location

The farm supports a variety of game, including giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and several antelope species.

Its tranquil setting lends itself to relaxed bush walks and quiet immersion in nature, while its location provides convenient access to some of the region’s best-known destinations. The Kruger National Park, Panorama Route and other Lowveld attractions are all within reach for rewarding day excursions.
