5 Bedroom House in Marloth Park

WHERE THE BUSH COMES TO YOUR DOOR AND STAYS FOR SUNDOWNERS

Exclusive Mandate!

If you''ve never heard of Marloth Park, allow us to introduce you. Tucked against the southwestern boundary of the Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa''s Mpumalanga province, Marloth Park is one of the continent''s best-kept open secrets a private wildlife reserve where impala wander past your stoep, nyala graze at dusk, and the only traffic you''re likely to encounter is a family of warthog crossing the road with absolutely zero apologies.

This property belongs here completely.

Built in the grand tradition of the African safari lodge exposed red brick, soaring thatch, timber poles worn smooth by time and character this is a home that doesn''t simply sit in the bush. It is the bush, architecturally committed to its surroundings in the most beautiful way.

The Outdoor Life

A generous pool, framed by a timber deck and embraced by indigenous trees, anchors the entertainment zone. When not in use, a clever sliding deck cover converts the pool into extended entertaining surface a feature you''ll appreciate more than you expect. Beyond it, a proper South African braai area awaits: solid brick construction, built-in bench seating, and the kind of firepit that demands good company and better conversation. In Marloth Park, evenings belong outdoors.

The oversized extra-length patio connects it all. Shaded by thatch and furnished with rustic log seating, it''s where breakfast stretches into brunch and sundowners stretch into stars.

Inside

The open-plan lounge and dining room carry the safari aesthetic without trying too hard wooden ceilings, natural pole columns, a fitted bar, and wildlife-inspired artwork that feels earned. The kitchen is generously proportioned, with an additional room and shower that lends itself naturally to staff accommodation or a private guest suite. The single garage is accessed from this same wing.

The Master Bedroom

On the ground floor and built to impress, the master suite is oversized by design large enough to accommodate a dedicated lounge area, and finished with enough character to hold its own. Exposed brick walls, air conditioning for the Lowveld heat, glass doors opening onto the back courtyard on one side and the patio and pool on the other. The en-suite bathroom doesn''t cramp your style, and the built-in cupboard space is genuinely substantial.

Upstairs

A striking staircase leads to a timber corridor overlooking the living area below. The upper level houses the remaining sleeping quarters: two appointed bedrooms sharing a bathroom, a private enclosed bedroom opening onto its own courtyard-facing patio, and two open deck rooms that spill directly onto the elevated timber deck with views over the pool and braai area served by a second bathroom. Morning coffee up here is a non-negotiable event.

The Bigger Picture

Marloth Park is fenced and managed, but the wildlife moves freely throughout this is not a zoo, it''s your neighbourhood. The Kruger National Park is minutes away by road, offering the full Big Five experience. The town of Komatipoort, with shops and essential services, is a short drive, and Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport connects you to Johannesburg in under an hour.

This is not just a holiday home. This is a lifestyle decision.
