16.3 ha Farm with House in Lidgetton

Set in the tranquil KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, this 16.3-hectare property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy a private country lifestyle without the demands of intensive commercial farming. Currently used for livestock grazing, the land offers space, tranquillity and a wonderful connection with nature. The property is home to abundant birdlife, a picturesque small waterfall, two dams and four established cherry trees. Irrigation infrastructure is already in place, while the borehole, which requires attention to bring it back into operation, offers additional potential. One JoJo tank is currently installed, with a second in the process of being installed. All water, other than drinking water, is supplied from the main dam through a filtration system to the dwellings, and a reverse-osmosis filtration system is currently being installed to ensure that the water is suitable for drinking.

With its scenic setting, natural water features and substantial landholding, the property also offers exciting potential for a guesthouse, boutique hotel or other lifestyle-based venture, subject to the necessary planning and municipal approvals.
