Bushveld getaway at Hartbeespoort with easy access off the R512 – 7.235Ha offering incoming producing main house, 5 cottages, and ablutions built for 12 caravans, all within electric fenced lush gardens.

Looking for an easily managed retirement investment or perhaps a weekend getaway in the bush, subsidised by permanent or holiday guests? Located close to the popular Chameleon Village and surrounded by imposing mountains, this property has the potential to be an exclusive resort. The ±1.5 Ha secured resort area is approached via a calming drive through ± 5Ha natural bush, fenced yet still open to the indigenous small animals of the area, such as monkeys, squirrels, bush babies and duiker, and of course, abundant birdlife everywhere.

Electric gates open to a lush, irrigated paradise and circular driveway, with two thatched log cabins, the tennis court, pool and braai area to the left, and the designated caravan park, braai lapa, ablutions and three garages to the right. Ahead lies the original farm house and three cottages, with the dam and water tank behind, various storage buildings and potential three stables to the right. There is ample space to build several more log cabins within the secured area for which planning approval is not required.

There are three brick buildings which accommodate staff outside the electric fenced area: two 2-bedroomed cottages without bathrooms and one 1-bedroom cottage with a shower bathroom. Both staff and tenants are accommodated on a monthly basis. The property currently generates a monthly income of R13,000 with very little maintenance or supervision required. The neighbour on one side of the property is the manager of the security company contracted to the property. There are no squatters and no land claims on the property.

The borehole is strong, yielding 6000 litres per hour; new water tank located behind the cottages. The main Eskom power source is close to the ablutions block, being 3-Phase, 60 Amps per phase. Sewerage disposal is by french drains – total four. The tennis court and net are in good condition; lights are in place, but not linked to a power source. There are several braai areas: behind the tennis court, by the pool, and next to the caravan park.
