There is a turnoff from the N1, right at the top of the Soutpansberg pass, it has an alluring name, well fitted to the property
that it leads to. Bluegums road, in the Soutpansberg mist belt, sub-tropical climate and its lush vegetation and just far enough
removed from the Great North road to dampen the road noise. Just over 7 hectares in extent and a few hundred meters away from the Bluegums road, the property is located on the lip of the Soutpansberg mountain. The climate is cooler than the valley below and misty mornings and night fogs are common.
The champagne clear air invigorates and there is bird and wildlife to be discovered in the dense vegetation in this area.
The main homestead, traditional, expansive, well maintained and gabled, consists of 5 bedrooms with three and a half bathrooms. The main bedroom is airy, large, en-suite with built in cupboards and room to gym in! This home, when entered from the double garages, welcomes you into a courtyard with covered walkway. The one bedroom flatlet is here with bathroom. Security doors and burglar bars are prominent in all the rooms and here too. The walkway ends at the back porch, then entering the spacious kitchen with gas stove, one is met with a traditional farm style layout. The dining room is large, almost open plan with the kitchen. And neatly tucked behind the kitchen, there is the entertainment area and separate living room with a fireplace.
The verandah opens up to a gorgeous Eastern view of the mountain, rocky formations and the serene valley across the way.

Some with built in cupboards. Well established, well maintained and prolific plants adorn the lawns and pathways.Now is the time to share the secret of this property!

To the South, Louis Trichardt town in the valley, at twilight outlined by a thousand street lights, twinkling and beckoning lights from homes, car headlights sweeping down invisible roads. This favored location is the lookout on new years eve for the firework displays that can be seen as far away as Elim. The panoramic view from the East to the West is something to behold, valley, rocky crags, distant settlements, bushveld, sunsets, sunrises sublime, come and see for yourselves.
