Breathtaking farm between Dullstroom and Machadodorp

This 488 Ha property is set in a beautiful valley, part of the Elands River watershed. Steeped in history it has been a successful working farm for several generations, and the owners are looking at a well deserved retirement. There are obviously no registered land claims on the farm. The farm has untold potential as a flyfishing and game estate. The main house is 600 sqm, 5 bedroom 3 bathrooms with massive living room areas and is ideal for a boutique country lodge or guest house. It dates back over 100 years and has been totally renovated featuring the original Yellowood floors bought up from the Cape, leaded windows and Oregan pine doors. The large kitchen has an Aga stove; there is an adjoining dining room, pub, and 3 impressive living room areas with fireplaces.

There are two other fishing cottages overlooking well established, easily fishable dams. There is a long, proven income from the letting of these two well known fishing cottages. There are a total of 10 small to medium sized dams on the property, 5 of which are well stocked with rainbow trout, and over a kilometre of undeveloped stream. The impressive topography and abundance of natural springs provide many sites for the creation of additional dams, the dimensions of which will be limited only by the imagination of the new owner.

The veld on the property has been scientifically managed and is in pristine condition. Numerous indigenous game species occur including, Rheebok, Duiker, Caracal and the rare Mountain Oribi, the EWT ( Endangered Wild Life Trust ) has monitored the nesting of the rare Blue Crane in the numerous wetlands from many years. Two of the four boundaries are game fenced by neighbours so a self contained game farm could easily be created or negotiation with the neighbours could result in a huge conservancy with a perimeter fence. There are healthy populations of Francolin, Quail and Guinea fowl and the rolling hills make exceptional terrain for walked up wing shooting.
