Lifetime opportunity to buy into the Crocodile River Reserve

This beautiful 30-hectare property is close to modern amenities yet away from the hustle and bustle of city life - all at the same time! It is situated on a gently sloping hill high above the Jukskei River, with a private, picnic-perfect sandy beach and river frontage at its base. It is part of the Crocodile River Reserve - a Gazetted, protected area just minutes away from Lanseria Airport. No land claims. A breath-taking entrance off the Jukskeidrift Road leads past the cottage and winds down to the main house with extraordinary views to the north and west. It is perfect for the family who are outdoor enthusiasts but want to live close to modern, city amenities.

Main house is a lovely thatch home that showcases the following:

Upstairs: an en-suite main bedroom with a west-facing private balcony and a second bedroom also opening into the en-suite bathroom, Jack and Jill style. A large open-area mezzanine opens onto a north facing balcony. Downstairs: A beautiful, eat-in farm-style kitchen leading out to a covered porch and separate scullery. Off the kitchen is a guest bedroom with a bathroom featuring a shower and loo. A study (or another bedroom) with its own deck looks out to the west. The lounge has a wood-burning fireplace.

Cottage: The property also boasts a fully contained, north-facing, 2-bedroom cottage. The large master bedroom with full bathroom and a smaller 2nd bedroom with loo and shower. Open plan kitchen dining area with lounge. The cottage sports a well-sized, north facing patio. Enjoy the spectacular views from both house and cottage!

Staff accommodation: Additionally, there is staff accommodation consisting of 2 bedrooms; 1 bathroom with shower, basin and loo and 2nd bathroom with shower and loo. An open-plan kitchen, lounge, and dining area; electric stove; refrigerator and anthracite heating stove.

Extras include: a greenhouse, dog enclosure, fire-pit, and game-attracting dam with lights; storage areas in a cement-block shed and Wendy house. A vaaljappie tractor and water wagon. Six video cameras showing outdoors around the house with a color monitor in the kitchen. Burglar bars and security gates on all doors and windows in house that is surrounded by a game fence. Cottage and staff house also have burglar bars on all doors and windows and are surrounded by security fencing. Good wireless phone and internet signal, and satellite tv, 3 air conditioners.

There is huge potential to expand on the existing building. A truly great investment.

This property is close to Lanseria International airport, 23km from Fourways and only 34 kms from Sandton. As stated in the SONA: 'A new smart-city is taking shape in Lanseria, which 350,000 to 500,000 people will call home within the next decade, it is well worth investing in the area now, while it is still affordable.
