Secluded Riverfront Big 5 Retreat

This remarkable property offers the rare opportunity to own a fully developed safari estate within a Big 5 wilderness area forming part of the Greater Kruger region. The reserve lies across approximately 25 000 hectares of pristine bushveld where wildlife moves freely through an unspoilt African landscape. The farm has been selectively bush cleared as part of an environmental process to restore the land to its natural savannah character. This has created open grassland areas while still retaining established trees and bush, improving grazing and significantly enhancing wildlife viewing across the farm. At the center of the estate stands a substantial double storey four bedroom main residence designed for comfortable bush living. The home offers spacious open plan kitchen, dining and living areas that flow onto a large under roof patio with built in gas braai. Additional features include an office, walk in safe, laundry, store room and double garage. Upstairs the master bedroom opens onto a large private verandah overlooking the surrounding bushveld and landscaped garden. The manicured lawn around the residence is secured with electric fencing creating a peaceful garden space within the wilderness setting. Three separate two bedroom en suite chalets provide excellent guest accommodation. Each chalet includes outdoor bush showers and baths allowing guests to enjoy the sights and sounds of the African bush in complete privacy. The main entertainment area has been designed around relaxed outdoor living. A large boma swimming pool, outdoor kitchen and bar area overlook a productive waterhole where wildlife regularly gathers. The bar, outdoor kitchen and entertainment furniture are crafted from classic Rhodesian Teak creating an authentic safari lodge atmosphere. One of the most special features of the property is its beautiful Selati River frontage. Along the riverbank a sleep out deck with ablution facilities offers a unique wilderness experience where nights can be spent under the African sky surrounded by the sounds of the river and bush. Additional infrastructure includes staff quarters and facilities that support both private living and hospitality use. A nearby bush airstrip allows convenient access for charter and private aircraft making the property easily accessible for international owners and guests. This property offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity with strong potential as a private African safari retreat luxury bush lifestyle property or boutique lodge catering to international travellers seeking an authentic Big 5 wilderness experience. Viewings are strictly by appointment. Buyers seeking a unique African lifestyle opportunity are encouraged to arrange a private viewing to experience the property and its setting firsthand.
