10 Bedroom Freehold For Sale in Ndlovumzi
Exclusive Sole Mandate - Own a private 21,4 ha sanctuary or secure home within the exclusive 1 000 ha Ndlovumzi Nature Reserve, situated along the Olifants River near Hoedspruit. This extraordinary lifestyle property presents a rare intersection of eco-tourism luxury, artistic legacy, and turnkey commercial utility.

Located in the heart of this spectacular reserve, the smallholding features a 1,7 ha residential footprint enclosed by a 2 km electric fence. Property improvements include guest accommodation, a restaurant seating approximately 50 people, a traditional lapa, a cigar bar, a swimming pool, office space, and full staff facilities.

Positioned in one of South Africa’s most desirable wildlife corridors—just 88 km from Orpen Gate and 102 km from Phalaborwa Gate into the Kruger National Park—this property sits in an enclave favoured by high-net-worth international investors. 

The property has recently undergone extensive upgrades, including the rethatching of all 21 building roofs (1,367 sq.m), full redecoration of the restaurant, and the construction of a helipad. 3 Additional bungalows and another tented ablution block are being built.
The estate offers an existing, versatile footprint ideal for a private family compound, a boutique eco-lodge, or a commercial safari retreat.

Nature Reserve

Ndlovumzi Nature Reserve is home to diverse game, including waterbuck, kudu, nyala, impala, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, bushbuck, duiker, wild dogs, and various smaller species. The curious nature of the giraffes frequently brings them right up to the lodge to greet guests.

Birdlife is abundant throughout the property, complemented by nocturnal sightings of civet, genet, porcupine, aardvark, and the elusive caracal.

Categorized as a savanna biome, the reserve’s riverfront is lined with majestic Sycamore Fig, Jackalberry, and Tamboti trees that cast welcome shade during summer. The central and southern areas feature rolling hills dotted with acacia trees, marula trees, and iconic leadwoods.
