The property will be offered for sale by public auction, presenting investors and developers with the opportunity to acquire a strategically located site in the sought-after Midlands region.

Premium Locality
The property enjoys a highly prominent position along the N3 corridor, one of South Africa’s most important national logistics and tourism routes linking Johannesburg and Durban. Located within the greater Nottingham Road area, the site benefits from excellent accessibility via the nearby interchange and substantial exposure to passing traffic along the N3.

Development Potential
The property comprises a vacant and unserviced land parcel measuring approximately 29 382 m², offering a blank canvas for a variety of development possibilities. The site is currently zoned Agriculture, which is intended to maintain and enhance the rural tourism character associated with the Midlands Meander route while supporting agricultural activity and tourism-related land uses. Freely permitted uses include, arts and craft workshops, bed and breakfast establishments & small-scale tourism developments.

With municipal consent, the zoning further allows for a variety of additional tourism and commercial uses such as conference facilities, guest houses, restaurants, events venues, overnight accommodation, resorts, and agri-industry related activities, creating significant flexibility for future development.

The site’s zoning and strategic positioning make it ideally suited for tourism-related developments, hospitality establishments, farm-style retail outlets, or boutique accommodation facilities serving both Midlands visitors and the substantial traffic flow along the N3.
