Situated in the Cleopatra Basin, this 20.66-hectare property is surrounded by three mountains, with the Klein Mooi River forming one of its boundaries. The setting is distinctly rural, with the property positioned at the end of the road and backed by the mountains leading towards Highmoor Nature Reserve and the uKhahlamba Drakensberg World Heritage Site.
The surrounding area includes a number of established Midlands destinations, with Cleopatra Mountain Lodge, Glengarry Holiday Farm and Silver Hills Lodge all located nearby. Nottingham Road is approximately 44 km from the property.
Main Residence
The main residence is a thatched home positioned within an established terraced garden. It comprises two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with an open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining area forming the central living space. A large combustion stove provides heating for the colder months.
The living area opens onto a deck overlooking the valley and surrounding mountains. A sunroom, pantry and storeroom provide additional accommodation and storage.
Cottage And Gardens
The established garden incorporates a separate two-bedroom cottage, providing additional accommodation. A further storeroom houses a 10kVA solar-powered inverter and battery system, while a stable block is also located within the garden.
The garden and main property are enclosed by fencing and secured with gates, providing a defined and controlled area around the residential improvements.
Farm Improvements
Beyond the residential area, the property includes staff accommodation, a sheep shed and a secure store/medical room. The land is divided into fenced veld camps, with water troughs provided throughout, together with an arable pasture area along the Klein Mooi River.
The property is supplied by a natural spring, with water gravity-fed throughout the holding. An established wattle plantation provides a readily available source of firewood.
Natural Environment
A natural forest forms part of the property and supports a variety of wildlife. The combination of forest, river frontage, grazing veld and mountain terrain gives the holding a distinctly natural character, while the existing infrastructure allows the land to continue functioning as a small rural property.
Location And Use
The property's location within the Cleopatra Basin places it within reach of the Midlands' established hospitality and tourism destinations, while its position at the end of the road provides a degree of separation from surrounding activity.
With an established main residence and cottage, agricultural improvements, secure fencing, natural spring water and 20.66 hectares of mountain veld, the property is suited to continued agricultural use or as a private mountain retreat in the Midlands.
