The house is located in a rural and quiet environment, 1525 m above sea level. The property is on the Northwest side of a valley near Roodepoort to the Northwest of Joburg at the confluence of the rivers Wilgespruit and Little Falls. These rivers flow during the rainy season from October and April into the Krokodilrivier (Crocodile River) at nearby Muldersdrift.
LODGE AND GAME RESERVE POTENTIAL
The land for sale occupies a triangle of approximately 1 hectares complete with perimeter fencing. The property has permission to keep wildlife animals and a neighbouring property already has a collection of zebra, gnu, vaulting buck (Springbok), border buck, hartebeest and warthog. The property to the North is a LESIDA lodge and has a helicopter landing pad.
With the potential to provide bed and breakfast accommodation together with restaurant facilities, and with parking for upwards of 100 cars it is clear that the property lends itself to development as an African wildlife game reserve. The evenings are punctuated by the howl of jackals and the roar of lions can be hear early in the morning.
The current owners are bird watchers (Twitchers) and their land attracts over 50 different species of birds bue to the careful planting of specific trees and bushes.
INVESTMENT POTENTIAL
The property is located in a 1000 hectares area designated as 'agricultural / nature', and there is a possibility that soon it may be possible to build on the land. This would result in the land an properties increasing in value by a factor of between 3 to 7. The property has development merit as a restaurant, guest lodgings and game reserve, and already has a building permit for the construction of a second house on the plot, but this possibility of building rights for the land adds an interesting investment potential to the purchase of this property (please read the notes on this page relating to the need to make independent enquiries into the feasibility and likelihood of such developments being permitted). The property is supplied with mains (urban) water and 3 phase electricity.
ACCOMMODATION
The house was constructed by the present owner in 1993 to a design inspired by the painting “Dorpskermis / Village Fair” by Pieter Brueghel the Elder. The buildings comprise of 2 blocks (main house and apartment/garage building) and the foundations are in place for the building of a gardeners' house (60 sq m) for which building permission has been granted.
