5 Bedroom House in Nelspruit (Mbombela) Outlying

Some properties offer a view. This extraordinary retreat offers an entire world.

Hidden away in sought-after Shonalanga, within a proclaimed 100-hectare nature area forming part of the Chariessa Conservancy, this remarkable property offers something increasingly rare: space, privacy, tranquillity and a front-row seat to one of South Africas most fascinating landscapes.

Set on 5.64 hectares, the 400 m2 brick-and-stone home commands an uninterrupted 200-degree panorama. To the left rise the ancient Makhonjwa Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for their extraordinary geological significance. Below lies the magnificent De Kaap Valley, while directly opposite stand the mysterious stone alignments of Adams Calendar. In the distance, the cool heights of Kaapse Hoop complete this breathtaking picture. Beyond it all, wildlife roams freely through the surrounding wilderness.

A home designed around its extraordinary setting.

Spread across three thoughtfully separated levels, the home combines rustic character with generous living spaces. The upper level offers a private main suite with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. The middle level forms the heart of the home, with two spacious guest bedrooms, a family bathroom, guest toilet, and expansive living and dining areas warmed by a fireplace. The kitchens rich wood finishes and impressive high ceilings enhance its welcoming country atmosphere.

The lower level provides two additional bedrooms, a bathroom, a small office and a versatile entertainment and recreation room with full-length windows, ideal for a gym, pool table or table tennis.

Outside, an established garden attracts birds, butterflies and other wildlife, while a raised koitilapia pond with a natural filtration system adds to the tranquil atmosphere. Two beautiful decks, a swimming pool and inviting outdoor lounging and braai areas make entertaining a pleasure.

Practical comforts include three-phase Eskom electricity, but this property is genuinely off-grid-ready. An excellent communal borehole supply water to a mountaintop reservoir. The first 12,500 litres of water per month are free.

This is more than a home. It is a private sanctuary beneath brilliant African skies, surrounded by living history and untamed nature.

Make this extraordinary Shonalanga hideaway your permanent address and discover a lifestyle that few properties can offer.
