Ashburton Lifestyle & Game Farm - PRICE INCL. Vat

This piece of paradise is a magnificent over 395 ha lifestyle and game farm with an enormous luxurious homestead of over 1200m2. There is an option to purchase the 3 adjoining farms which will add another 324ha plus a dam and a gorgeous renovated home. A beautiful old railway bridge, an engineering marvel, adorns the entrance to the farm, from where the road meanders through thorn trees and grasslands and over a river crossing where you often see giraffe, zebra or nyala quenching their thirst.

Situated in Ashburton, just 20 min from Pietermarizburg's CBD, an hour from Durban and 90 min from the Drakensberg Mountains, the farm is positioned with easy access to major routes. A mere 12km from Oribi Airport with daily flights to Johannesburg, or only 75min from King Shaka Airport, but you may never want to leave, such is the beauty and tranquillity of this retreat with magnificent terrain to explore by walking, running, mountain or motor biking, horse riding and enjoying picnic spots along the river. There is ample irrigation, as well as recreational fishing or paddling. It also forms a pivotal part of this undulating landscape with cattle, and over 250 head of game, including Giraffe, Kudu, Zebra, Waterbuck, Nyala, Impala, Duiker, Jackal and Caracal, as well as excellent birdlife, including resident Martial eagles, Fish eagles & many other species.

The palatial homestead is only 15 years old, yet exudes old-world charm with its lofty ceilings, reclaimed flooring and solid wood feature doors reminiscent of historic villas in KZN. Designed with modern luxury, convenience and comfort in mind, no expense has been spared in this grand and gracious home. The many amazing features need to be seen to be appreciated, as there are just too many to list in a mere description, and words do not do them justice. Worth highlighting though is the conservatory, the Hollywood styled main bedroom and the spa/salon. Every room is huge and every bedroom is en suite with an absolutely stunning bathroom.

Currently running as a B & B, it’s the perfect getaway where guests just love the feeling of being on a game farm in deepest Africa, yet so close to town.

Outbuildings include a gym, a barn purpose built to fit a helicopter, generous storerooms, and double staff rooms with a communal living area, to name but a few.

The security includes a sophisticated layered security system starting with traffic monitoring on the district road through to, CCTV, electric game fence, beams, armed response & strong security bars/gates

Irrigation is fully automated, supplied by borehole water.

Please call me for more details and an exclusive appointment to view this glorious farm.
