Description
Amidst the majestic Witteberg Mountains, a vast, secluded, unspoiled Karoo Valley where every facet of nature is flourishing and protected.

On offer â?? 4.1 hectares (freehold) offering spectacular views, with permission for six cottages in place â?? one stand with existing cottage for renovation! PLUS part-ownership of this unique 4 365 hectare Reserve!

Corner to corner, the land has been left undisturbed for 16 years, during which time the astonishing biodiversity of the area has been restored. The result, a plethora of birdlife, an incredible array of Fynbos â?? including rare species â?? captivating and varied insects, frogs, lizards, tortoises, and mammals galore! The shy leopard has been caught on the field camera often, and the latest exciting sighting, the spoor and droppings of the Brown Hyena (Red List status Near Threatened)!

For nature lovers â?? pure bliss!

The land offers an ideal opportunity to develop a tourism enterprise, and/or construct a family commune to enjoy and pass on to future generations. In short, with dwindling natural areas in our beautiful country, a â??heritage investmentâ?? like no other!

No Transfer Duty payable and VAT included in price, so conveyancing fees only, and the first yearâ??s levies also included in the asking price.

PHOTO CREDITS: The majority of the photos displayed attributed to the patience and exceptional photography of Tish Archer (permanent resident on the Reserve) and Jack Solomons (Reserve assistant).
