Notably, it is registered as part of the MTPA's Kruger to Malolotja (Eswatini border) Corridor, contributing to the World Heritage Mountain area.
The climate in this area is significantly cooler than in Nelspruit due to its high altitude and mist belt, home to various indigenous plants thriving in this unique environment. The farm hosts a diverse array of wildlife, including kudu, bushbuck, reedbuck, duikers, nyalas, and klipspringers, along with frequent sightings of zebra, blue wildebeest, and impala. Occasionally, leopards, brown hyenas, honey badgers, servals, and civet cats are also spotted.
Included in the sale are a Ranger 4x4 LVD, various implements, a Lawnstar lawnmower, loose tools, a brush cutter, and a chainsaw, making this an exceptional opportunity for anyone looking to embrace a rural lifestyle.
