Homes & Accommodation The property includes secure, established homes and outbuildings suited to farming, extended family or income generation: • Two generously sized 4-bedroom homes, one with a swimming pool • One 2-bedroom cottage • Multiple sheds, workshops, storage barns and a former dairy building • All homes secured with alarm systems and electric fencing An established Airbnb business with accommodation for up to 18 guests generates between R40,000 and R70,000 per month, offering immediate additional income. Why Buyers Choose the Midlands The KwaZulu-Natal Midlands offers a blend of peaceful rural living and everyday convenience. Families value the proximity to leading schools such as Hilton College, Michaelhouse and St Anne’s. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy trout fishing, trail running, mountain biking and the surrounding nature reserves. The area is also known for its restaurants, coffee shops, markets and artisan producers that draw both locals and visitors year-round. Whether you're looking for a productive farm with strong water resources, a sustainable lifestyle property, or a country home with business potential, this is an exceptional opportunity in one of South Africa’s most sought-after regions.
