5 Bedroom House for Sale in Mpofana

Set high above the surrounding valley on approximately 371 hectares of shared countryside, this character-filled home offers a rare opportunity to buy into a peaceful, self-sufficient rural lifestyle with exceptional views and established accommodation income.

The setting is the first thing that captures you. From the house, garden and covered verandah, the outlook stretches across rolling countryside and distant mountain ranges, changing beautifully with the seasons, mist, and sunrise or sunset skies. The aerial photographs show just how privately the home sits within the broader landscape. The main residence offers five bedrooms and four bathrooms, with warm country character throughout. High ceilings, natural stonework and generous living spaces give the home an inviting luxuary lifestyle feel. The lounge is centred around a substantial stone fireplace, while the open-plan dining and kitchen area continues the relaxed well lit style with timber, brick and natural finishes.

One of the most appealing features is the covered verandah, positioned to take full advantage of the extraordinary views. It is the kind of space made for slow mornings, long lunches and sunset drinks, with the surrounding mountains becoming part of everyday life. The established garden wraps naturally around the home, with expansive lawns, indigenous-style planting and approximately 30 fruit trees, including peaches, plums, apples and pears. There is plenty of room for children, dogs, outdoor entertaining and simply enjoying the space.

A separate one-bedroom open-plan cottage provides excellent versatility for guests, extended family or additional accommodation income. The property is already listed on platforms including LekkeSlaap, SA-Venues and Airbnb and currently generates approximately R120 000 per annum, according to the owner, without pushing and marketing.

Practical facilities include a double garage, separate workshop, laundry and dedicated linen/storage room. Designed for independent living this home has been set up for a genuinely practical off-grid lifestyle. Power is supplied through a 10 kVA Vestron inverter system, with a generator available to charge the inverter when additional backup is required. Two gas geysers provide hot water. Water is supplied from both the broader farm system and natural spring resources. The farm borehole feeds the homes, while this residence also receives spring water into its own storage system comprising two 5 000-litre tanks and two 2 500-litre tanks. Eight security cameras are installed, with several currently accessible remotely via phone. DSTV and Bundu Net connectivity are also in place.

Beyond the home itself, residents enjoy the wider rural environment, with Zulu Falls nearby and access behind the property towards Craigie Burn Dam for fishing.

This is a different kind of ownership. This is not a conventional subdivided smallholding. The sale comprises a 10% member’s interest in a cc company, which owns the farm, together with the existing agreed residential homesite and occupation area associated with this interest. The homes are positioned by agreement rather than by separate cadastral subdivision. The current Association Agreement allows each member an agreed residential area of up to approximately 5 acres for a main home, outbuildings and chalet, while the wider farm is enjoyed and managed communally.

Current levies are approximately R650 per month, contributing towards shared expenses such as rates and communal farm costs.The broader ownership structure consists of ten beneficial owners holding 10% interests in the cc. There are currently no land claims on this land.

What is being offered here is much more than a house. It is the opportunity to live surrounded by hundreds of hectares of open countryside, wake up to mountain views, grow fruit, live independently of municipal services and still retain the comfort of a substantial family home, guest accommodation for when you are not there and internet connectivity. This a beauty is looking for new owners to enjoy what the original owner has built.
