Game Farm in Pietermaritzburg Central
Do not miss this opportunity to invest in this magnificent, income generating bushveld farm. The property is set on just over 20 hectares,
within a 500 hectare nature conservancy, offering exquisite African Bushveld and an abundance of free roaming Game that leisurely stroll through the property,
almost within touching distance.
An added benefit is that the property is already generating a respectable income from two different sources. Rental Income of approximately R30,000.00 per month
generated from the 7 cottages (and an 8th cottage structure is up, but needs to be completed, this cottage could easily generate an additional R6,500.00 per month). Additionally there is an income of between R8,000.00 and R35,000.00 per month profit, generated from the sale of Indigenous plants grown on the property and sold from the onsite, well established Nursery. The property is home to an Aloe Plantation offering an amazing array of beautiful Aloes including some very rare ones over 200 species of Aloe as well as Tree Aloes which are already very tall and worth at least R5,000.00 each! There are currently about 25,000 bagged Aloes ready for sale plus a huge nursery full of a variety of gorgeous indigenous plants and trees - should you want to purchase the business included in the sale of the property this can be discussed additionally.
This is a beautiful property and has so much to offer! Zoned Agriculture, the property can be further developed for Nature Based Tourism initiatives, making it an ideal property for an Eco Tourism Development or outdoor adventure park as well as several other initiatives aimed at the Tourism Industry. Ideally located not far off the N3 only a few kilometres out of Pietermaritzburg, the area is quickly gaining economic momentum due to the N3 Corridor upgrades, making this property an excellent choice to draw visitors travelling between Johannesburg and Durban.
Apart from the 7 cottages which are all absolutely gorgeous and have beautiful views with great outdoor spaces, the owners have built a very unique bag home, designed on a shell concept, which is an absolute must see! This home is designed around nature and perfectly blended into the African Bush offering the most amazing and incredibly unique features with exquisite views especially from the loft room which boasts the most spectacular views and is the perfect meditation room. This home offers an open plan kitchen, lounge, dining room and study, a separate and hidden scullery and pantry, a separate bathroom and an absolutely gorgeous bedroom with walk in closet and beautiful ensuite bathroom all with stunning views. There is a spacious deck which wraps around at least half of the house, offering tranquil and scenic outdoor living.
This is beautifully wild property, with varied terrain, a lovely stocked dam, and true African bushveld, situated in what is known as Mpushini, lies within the 500 hectare Ezemvelo Wildlife Conservancy, adding great benefit to the features of a potential Tourism venue as well as excellent security being within a guarded and protected Conservancy. There are plentiful Nyala, Impala, Zebra, Kudu and Wildebeest that wonder freely through the property, along with 44 endemic species and birds... it is truly an African Dream and words fail to describe the beauty and tranquility of the area.
Other great features of this property include several functional sheds, outbuildings, workshops as well as a borehole (tested at 800lt p/h), a 20,000lt Reservoir (needing some repair), the propertys external water supply is at Agricultural rates, making water incredibly cheap, there is municipal electricity with 3 phase wired and ready for connection. A lovely stocked dam (approximately 280,000lt) and a natural stream which runs through a section of the property. There is quite a big area of the property which is grassland and could be suitable for planting crops or possibly other small scale farming activities.
