This farmland is so unique and special there is no one that could describe this amazing place like its current owner. Have a read and see how amazing this piece of land is and its amazing history connected to it. A truly fascinating property and honour to be marketing this amazing piece of land. Kurisa Moya Eco Lodge I’ve often been asked what it is that makes Kurisa Moya so special. I usually give a short answer that involves something about the beautiful nature and solitude of the place, but never get properly into explaining what it is that makes this 422-hectare patch of our planet so remarkable. I was asked again recently, to highlight what makes Kurisa Moya special. This is an attempt to identify some of the things that make Kurisa Moya such an exceptional place. There are specific features of the property both past and present which make it unique. In my opinion, having been involved with the property for the past 24 years or so, this is what makes Kurisa Moya a place like no other. Background Information Kurisa Moya is part of the original Sterkloop Farm. It is located predominantly on a west-facing slope of the northern Drakensberg escarpment in Limpopo. The lower parts of the property are at an altitude of about 1 420 m and the highest point is about 1 890 m above sea-level. This range in altitude, together with the largest slopes on the property facing either west, south or north, gives the property a number of very diverse natural habitats. These range from dry thornveld savanna on the north-facing slopes, grassland on the lower west-facing slopes to lush Afromontane forest on the upper west-facing slopes. This diversity of natural habitats brings with it an amazing diversity of flora and fauna. The Kudu’s River originates on Kurisa Moya in the form of a variety of mountain springs. Over the millennia the river has carved an impressive valley in the escarpment mountains. From various vantage points on Kurisa Moya spectacular views stretch across the valley towards the north and north-east. In the 1890s wood cutters descended on the area known today as Woodbush (Houtbos) and ruthlessly harvested most of the ancient giant trees of the forest. The tract of forest on Kurisa Moya was not spared this fate. Many of the accessible mature hardwood trees were harvested and cut into planks before being sent to Pietersburg (now Polokwane) and Pretoria to be sold. During this brief wood cutting frenzy, the settlement of Houtbosdorp thrived. Of course today, all that is left at the Houtbosdorp site is a general dealer store. There is, however, still evidence of pits in the forest that were dug as part of the “pitsaw” method to cut logs into planks. Some of the long saws have also been found and now hang on the dining room wall of the farmhouse. In the 130 years since the woodcutters came and went, the surviving trees in the forest have established themselves as the new giants and provide an awesome habitat for the indigenous fauna.
