Elephant Rock Eco & Lifestyle Estate is a tranquil haven located just 28 kilometers from Hoedspruit, offering a unique opportunity to live surrounded by nature without compromising on comfort or security.
This 240-hectare estate is thoughtfully designed to provide residents with an exclusive bushveld lifestyle, all within a short 20 to 25-minute drive from town. Situated near the well-known 3 Bridges shop and restaurant, and with convenient access to Phalaborwa and Tzaneen, the estate offers both seclusion and connectivity.
The estate features 125 full-title stands, each ranging from 2,400 to 3,325 square meters, allowing for privacy, space, and uninterrupted views of the magnificent Drakensberg Mountains, the surrounding Balule Reserve, and the striking Sorabi Koppies.
Two rivers converge at the heart of the estate, drawing in abundant wildlife including plains game, crocodiles, and hippos. While there are no Big 5 animals on the property, occasional sightings of smaller predators add to the sense of wilderness without compromising safety. Elephant Rock is also proudly pet-friendly, making it a welcoming place for the whole family.
Nature conservation is at the core of the estate’s vision. It is home to critically endangered and protected raptors such as the Hooded Vulture, White-backed Vulture, and Pel’s Fishing Owl, which nest within the estate’s protected zones. The environment supports rich birdlife, and dedicated boardwalks allow residents to explore the natural conservancy areas without disturbing the delicate ecosystem.
For those who enjoy the outdoors, there are walking, running, and cycling trails throughout the estate, as well as picnic spots and catch-and-release fishing dams for leisurely afternoons.
Security is a top priority, with 24-hour manned access control, a guardhouse, and secure entry gates ensuring peace of mind. Blending the serenity of untouched bushveld with modern eco-conscious living, Elephant Rock is a rare opportunity for those seeking an authentic yet secure outdoor lifestyle in one of South Africa’s most scenic regions.
