Exceptional 8.5-Hectare Bushveld Smallholding

Equestrian • Income Generating • No Gravel Roads • Magaliesberg Views

Set against the timeless backdrop of the Magaliesberg and surrounded by pristine indigenous bushveld, this exceptional 8.5-hectare smallholding offers a rare blend of true country living with seamless access to the city. Located just off the R511, with no gravel or dirt roads, the property delivers peace, privacy, and long-term value in one of the most sought-after lifestyle corridors outside Centurion.

Here, nature is not a feature — it is the setting.

The surrounding bushveld forms a living sanctuary, home to an extraordinary variety of indigenous wildlife. Birdlife fills the skies and trees, with African Grass Owl, Marsh Owl, Spotted Eagle-Owl, Barn Owl, Helmeted Guineafowl, Swainson’s Spurfowl, lapwings, thick-knees, ibis, barbets, widowbirds, bishops, and the unmistakable call of the Grey Go-away-bird forming part of daily life.

The land supports a rich mosaic of mammals including Serval, Common Duiker, Steenbok, Cape Clawless Otter, Cape Porcupine, Black-backed Jackal, Slender and Yellow Mongooses, Large-spotted Genet, South African Hedgehog, Scrub Hare, Bushbaby, and a host of smaller nocturnal and grassland species — all moving quietly through undisturbed bush and open grass.

Reptile and amphibian life further reflects the health of this ecosystem. Leopard Tortoises, Marsh Terrapins, Flap-necked Chameleons, geckos, skinks, and agamas are part of the landscape, while the evenings are softened by the chorus of frogs and toads, including the protected Giant Bullfrog and Painted Reed Frog. Non-venomous and mildly venomous snake species form part of the natural balance of this unspoiled environment.

The Home

At the heart of the property stands a stunning, warm, and inviting main residence, thoughtfully positioned to embrace the surrounding bushveld. A 10kW Victron solar system supports sustainable living, while the covered veranda overlooks rock gardens, mature indigenous trees, and a tranquil pool and entertainment area — a space designed for relaxed outdoor living and memorable gatherings.

A section of the home, separated by a door, is currently configured as a fully furnished two-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage, complete with TV lounge, kitchen, storeroom, and covered braai patio — ideal for rental income, extended family, or guest accommodation.

The remaining main house offers:

Three bedrooms

Two bathrooms

Dining room

Office

Spacious lounge

Well-appointed kitchen

Natural stone pathways, established gardens, and bushveld views give the home a retreat-like atmosphere — private, peaceful, and deeply connected to its surroundings.

Additional Accommodation & Infrastructure

A separate one-bedroom cottage provides an additional income stream or private guest space. A large double garage offers secure parking, workshop potential, or extra storage, further enhancing the property’s versatility.

Additional features include workers’ quarters (four rooms), rock-featured gardens, and a swimming pool designed for entertaining while immersed in nature.

Equestrian Excellence

Designed with horse lovers in mind, the equestrian facilities are both functional and beautifully integrated into the land:

Four-horse stable block

Feed room, tack room, storeroom, and blanket hanging area

Large sand arena

Smaller grass dressage arena (currently used as a paddock)

Established tracks, natural shade, and open space provide a comfortable, year-round environment for horses and riders alike.

Lifestyle & Location

Surrounded by lodges and thriving businesses, this property offers excellent long-term investment value while remaining a deeply personal lifestyle retreat. It is perfectly suited to equestrian families, nature lovers, multi-income investors, or those seeking space, privacy, and authentic bushveld living within easy reach of Centurion, Sandton, Fourways, and Hartbeespoort.

This is not just a property — it is a way of life.
