Welcome to an exquisite 4-hectare lifestyle estate where refined architecture, sustainable innovation, and tranquil living unite. This fully operational guesthouse and wedding venue offers an extraordinary opportunity to own a destination that combines luxury, nature, and income potential — a property where every detail has been thoughtfully designed to inspire and impress.
Surrounded by lush gardens and an abundant collection of fruit trees, including mango, litchi, lemon, orange, papaya, custard apple, and breadfruit, this magnificent estate offers a sense of serenity and space. Perfectly positioned in one of Mpumalanga’s most desirable regions, this estate enjoys an exceptional location — 40 kilometres from Kruger National Park to the east and 40 kilometres from Nelspruit to the west. The Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (KMIA) lies just outside Nelspruit, providing effortless access for both local and international guests.
To complete the travel triangle, Mozambique lies approximately 200 kilometres away, and Swaziland just 100 kilometres from the property — placing two neighbouring countries within easy reach. This makes the estate an ideal base for exploring Southern Africa’s most sought-after destinations. The surrounding region, known for its breathtaking scenery and warm hospitality, invites you to enjoy the very best that Kruger Park South and the Mpumalanga Lowveld have to offer — from adventure activities and wildlife encounters to fine dining and scenic excursions.
At its heart lies the main house, a haven of warmth and sophistication, featuring three ensuite bedrooms and two self-contained cottages. The estate operates off a cutting-edge solar power system with 63 solar panels, a 24KVA inverter, three-phase power, and 60kWh battery storage, ensuring complete off-grid capability. A 25KVA generator provides seamless backup power, guaranteeing uninterrupted operations during events and guest stays.
The kitchen is a culinary delight, featuring solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, porcelain tiles, a six-plate gas hob, extractor fan, and double sink — the perfect combination of elegance and practicality.
The main bedroom is a luxurious private retreat, complete with a spacious lounge, walk-in closet, and a sumptuous ensuite bathroom with double vanity, stone basins, corner bath, bidet, shower, and toilet. French doors open to the garden, creating a serene connection to nature. Each additional bedroom is air-conditioned with private outdoor access and modern ensuite bathrooms, ensuring comfort and privacy for guests.
The open-plan living and dining areas feature chandeliers, arched windows, and stacking doors leading to a beautiful entertainment area with a sparkling pool, fountain, and built-in bar. The reception office provides an ideal space for managing bookings and events, while street lights throughout the property softly illuminate pathways and driveways, guiding guests between the main house, venue, chapel, and cottages with elegance and safety after sunset.
The estate’s guest cottages offer both variety and comfort. The Fig Cottage (Bridal Suite) is a romantic sanctuary featuring open-beam ceilings, sliding doors to a private patio, and a kitchenette with a marble-top island and bar fridge.

The two bedrooms share a full bathroom with a ceramic double vanity, bath, and shower, finished in timeless neutral tones.
The Tea Room — the property’s main venue — is the crown jewel of this estate, perfectly suited for weddings, receptions, or corporate gatherings. It features a fully equipped kitchen with fridges, freezers, ample cabinet space, cutlery, crockery, and extensive work surfaces, ideal for professional catering. A decor storage area is neatly tucked below the deck for event preparation. The venue lounge includes a Matumi bar, grand chandelier, and guest toilets, with stacking doors leading to a deck adorned with chandeliers and ceiling fans, overlooking the manicured garden — an idyllic setting for elegant celebrations.
One of the property’s most enchanting spaces is the chapel, designed to capture the essence of romance and grace. Seating 60–80 guests, it features arched windows, high open-beam ceilings, elegant chandeliers, and ceiling fans. An antique organ adds a classical touch, while sunlight filters through the windows to illuminate the altar. The wooden pews, draped beams, and floral alcoves create a timeless setting, perfect for weddings and vow renewals. Its elevated position allows panoramic views of the surrounding gardens and distant mountain horizon, making it both breathtaking and spiritual.
Beneath the estate’s tranquil pond lies a remarkable architectural gem — the underground wine cellar, complete with glass windows revealing fish swimming by. Inside, a full-length mahogany table and an original Ken Malaney art piece lend this space an aura of sophistication and wonder. Above the cellar, a deck with swinging arm chairs, chandeliers, and ceiling fans provides a peaceful vantage point over the pond.
Natural materials, including Matumi, Sand Kiaat, and Ironwood, are featured throughout the estate’s finishes — from venue tables and bars to bespoke architectural details — showcasing the artistry and quality craftsmanship woven into the property’s design.
Next to the pool is the gazebo complex, featuring a clay pizza oven, built-in braai, bar, his and hers toilets, and a kitchenette — the perfect outdoor entertainment space. Adjacent lies a boma area, complete with Matumi tables, a central braai, and generous seating, offering a relaxed setting for guests to gather under the stars.
The property’s irrigation system is state-of-the-art, powered by a high-yield borehole, filtration and pressure pump system, and creek-fed irrigation network with booster pumps and timers, ensuring the gardens remain lush year-round. The estate also includes 1 hectare of arable land, ideal for small-scale farming or expansion, and comes with registered water rights — a rare and valuable feature for a property of this nature.
Guests can also enjoy two swimming pools, two stables (currently used as workshops and storage), a generator room, two pump houses, and a dedicated solar control area for maintenance and management.
Accommodation totals an impressive 1,179 m2, comfortably housing 40 to 50 overnight guests in a combination of luxury suites, cottages, and seven glamping tents, each equipped with electricity points for modern convenience.
The property is fully furnished (excluding personal items), with Wi-Fi coverage, partial electric fencing, ample parking, and aluminium roofing throughout for durability and low maintenance.
This extraordinary estate represents the perfect fusion of luxury, sustainability, and opportunity. Whether envisioned as a wedding destination, boutique guesthouse, or exclusive private retreat, it offers unmatched potential and presence in one of South Africa’s most sought-after regions.
Experience refined living. Celebrate craftsmanship. Own a legacy.
