Description

This 22-hectare smallholding offers the perfect blend of modern off-grid living, scenic tranquillity, and lifestyle farming – all within easy reach of Pietermaritzburg and the renowned Albert Falls Dam.

The face brick farmhouse is spacious, contemporary, and designed to take full advantage of its idyllic surroundings. With 3 bedrooms and 2 en-suite bathrooms, the home is well-suited for comfortable family living or a peaceful country retreat. The main bedroom boasts a walk-in closet and a luxurious en-suite. A welcoming lounge with a gas fireplace opens onto a wide verandah, where panoramic views over the private dam create a picture-perfect setting.

The well-appointed kitchen features granite countertops, solid wooden cabinetry, and both gas and electric hob/oven options. A separate scullery includes a double sink and fittings for both a dishwasher and washing machine.

The home is supported by a fully off-grid energy solution: 24 solar panels, an 8kVA inverter, a 15kW lithium battery bank, and a backup generator. Water is supplied via a 3,500-litre borehole feeding into a storage tank, ensuring self-sufficiency. Should grid connectivity be desired, an Eskom transformer is already installed on the property.

Security is a top priority, with the home and outbuildings secured by a perimeter electric fence, security cameras, and a 24/7 response service. The property includes 280m² of outbuildings including a workshop and shed, in addition to garages for vehicle and equipment storage.

The entire farm is enclosed with a game fence and is currently home to a variety of game including impala, blesbok, and nyala – offering a rare opportunity to enjoy your own private game sanctuary. The landscaped garden also features a jacuzzi for outdoor relaxation.
