This magnificent Lifestyle Country Estate is the perfect buy with its vast offering of contemporary, spacious living in a popular leisure and tourist area The fully off-grid estate offers a symphonic blend of rustic country living with city chic and is nestled on eight hectares of partially forested land within less than an hour and a half’s drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria, 20 minutes West of the quaint Magaliesburg village.
The farm was purchased in 2015 with the objective to create a primary residence but due to the vast potential and tourism demand in the area, the owners developed their dream further into a bespoke and sought after guest house. The guest house is now one of the top-rated visitor’s destinations in the area. The sale is prompted by the owners expanding their vision and relocating.
This property is available as a going concern with a consistent and healthy turnover. The sale is lock-stock-and-barrel, excluding personal items and original artworks created by the owners. An inventory and financial statements will be disclosed to serious and qualified buyers prior to purchase.
This property is an excellent investment as it is located geographically in the buffer zone of the Magaliesberg Biosphere, boasting safety and tranquillity. Crime is minimal in the immediate surrounds due to the vigilant local community and farm patrols in conjunction with security firms active in the area. The property is surrounded by similar-sized farms with neighbours close enough creating an ambiance of a small community yet secluded enough to give you privacy.
The highveld climate with warm wet summers and cold dry winters secures visitors throughout the year. A natural spring and wetland on an adjacent farm feeds the dam on this property. Rainfall is generally higher than the average for the surrounding area with around 800mm recorded yearly.
