Yearning for farm life with the luxury of security, privacy, and none of the hard work?

This rare gem in the African Bushveld could be your answer.

Just an hour and a half’s drive north-west of Pretoria, beyond the hum of the city, lies a sanctuary where modern living meets untamed beauty. Set within a secure wildlife estate — where access is tightly controlled, gates are manned day and night, and patrols keep watch with loyal dogs — this full-title one hectare property offers peace of mind without compromising freedom.

The estate itself is alive with nature: winding roads meander past wetlands and earth dams, where game roam freely and birdlife fills the skies.

The home, in pristine condition, is designed for both comfort and indulgence. Step inside and you are welcomed by a seamless flow of space, with elegant neutral tiles uniting every room. The entrance opens into a grand family and games room, complete with a built-in braai and an eight-seater Jacuzzi — the perfect place to gather with friends or unwind at day’s end. A short passage leads to a private storeroom and safe, while the staircase sweeps upward to a guest retreat: two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a kitchenette, a lounge, and a walk-in linen cupboard.

On the ground floor, the heart of the home unfolds into an open-plan lounge and dining room, where stack doors blur the line between indoor and outdoor living. The gourmet kitchen, fitted with granite counters, gas and electric hobs, an eye-level oven, and thoughtful details like wine shelves and a prep bowl, invites culinary creativity. For entertainers, the built-in gas braai and hand-wash station make hosting effortless. The scullery and laundry, neatly tucked away, lead to a courtyard for practical convenience.

Three more bedrooms are found downstairs, including a luxurious master suite with a walk-in wardrobe, a full bathroom tiled to the ceiling, and even a private outdoor shower for those who prefer starlight over a ceiling. In total, the home is cooled by 12 ceiling fans and 7 air-conditioners, with bespoke curtains and blinds included. Even the game-viewing vehicle, recently overhauled, forms part of the offering — with the option to negotiate on furniture and equipment, making this an effortless transition to bushveld living.

Outside, the magic continues. Paved surrounds lead to a sparkling pool and pergola, where evenings are best spent with sundowners in hand. A fire boma with a wood stove and pit sets the stage for fireside storytelling under a galaxy of stars. Parking is more than sufficient, with a double garage and shaded space for four cars.

Life here is more than a home; it is a lifestyle. Wake to birdsong, explore the estate on foot, by bicycle, or on game drives. Spend lazy afternoons fishing in the dams (catch, photograph, and release), or wander the bush trails until the sky deepens into hues of gold and violet. With summer temperatures ranging from 17°C to 38°C, and winter days a pleasant 5°C to 27°C, every season has its charm.

In a region dotted with wildlife estates, this property stands apart. Secure, serene, and perfectly designed for both private living and potential as a boutique Airbnb retreat, it is truly a cut above the rest.

Do not let this opportunity pass you by — book your private viewing today and step into the bushveld life you’ve always imagined.
