About this property

This exceptional 35-hectare farm, set on the lush banks of the Wilge River, offers a rare and versatile investment for the discerning buyer. Perfectly positioned between Bronkhorstspruit and Balmoral, just off the R104, the property combines natural beauty, historic intrigue, and remarkable potential – ideal for farming, a private retreat, or a tourism venture.

The main dwelling features dramatic double-volume ceilings and striking industrial-style windows that fill the interior with natural light. The open-plan layout centres around an expansive entertainment area, complete with a built-in bar and braai – perfect for relaxed, sociable living. The large kitchen, with its separate scullery and oversized pantry, is designed for functionality and flair.

This spacious home includes three comfortable bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large study or home office, a lounge, and a covered patio that opens onto a sparkling pool with panoramic views over the valley. Additional features include three workers' rooms, an outside laundry, and ample storage space. While the home is structurally sound and well designed, it does require some finishing work – presenting a fantastic opportunity for the new owner to personalise and complete it to their exact tastes.

The property boasts well-maintained outbuildings, including a functional chicken pen and a camp ideal for horses. With flat, arable land available, this farm is well suited for livestock, equestrian facilities, or crop production.

Adding a unique historical dimension to the property is an original railway line and bridge – once part of the iconic route between Pretoria and Delagoa Bay and believed to have been used by President Paul Kruger himself. This heritage element, combined with the tranquil river frontage and vast open skies, makes the farm an outstanding location for tourism, wellness retreats, or exclusive getaways.
