Nestled along the tranquil banks of the Olifants River, where the gentle grunts of hippos resonate through the air, this extraordinary 21-hectare property offers an unforgettable retreat within a private reserve, just 30 kilometers from Hoedspruit. Surrounded by the natural beauty of towering Tambotie and Mahogany trees, the lodge is a sanctuary of luxury and serenity, designed for comfort and immersive bush living.
The main lodge features a beautifully designed double-story home that blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. The open-plan kitchen flows effortlessly into the spacious lounge and dining area, creating an inviting atmosphere for family and guests. Downstairs, two comfortable bedrooms offer convenient access, while upstairs, two additional bedrooms open onto a generous patio boasting panoramic views of the river and distant hills.
Complementing the main lodge are three separate, privately situated chalets, each with its own en-suite bathroom and secured with Trellidor doors. These chalets are connected to the central living space by scenic pathways, offering guests both privacy and easy access. The property comfortably accommodates up to 20 guests, making it ideal for both private use and commercial ventures.
Outdoor living takes center stage with a spacious boma and built-in braai area, a rustic pizza oven, and an expansive terrace designed for entertaining or simply soaking in the spectacular surroundings. A sparkling pool and adjacent bar area complete the entertainment zone, making it the perfect setting for relaxing under the African sky.
Additional features include commercial rights within the reserve, a strong borehole with reservoir and river water access for irrigation, and a separate three-bedroom staff cottage discreetly located at the rear of the property. A generator housed in a secure shed ensures consistent power supply, while a fully fenced yard provides peace of mind in terms of privacy and security.
This is a rare opportunity to own a prime riverfront property in one of South Africa’s most sought-after wilderness areas. Whether you envision a private family lodge, luxury eco-retreat, or income-generating hospitality business, this estate offers the ideal foundation.
