131Ha Farm For Sale in Bathurst Rural

A Private Nature Sanctuary in the Lushington Valley

For those looking for a peaceful escape surrounded by unspoilt Eastern Cape bush, this unique property offers an exceptional opportunity.

Tucked away in the picturesque Lushington Valley, the property borders a game reserve and neighbouring pineapple lands, creating a wonderfully private and natural setting. The seasonal Torrens Stream runs through the property when flowing and eventually feeds into the Lushington River, adding further character to this tranquil landscape.

The land remains largely undisturbed, making it particularly appealing as a private nature retreat or for the development of an eco-tourism venture. Approximately 10 hectares of old, relatively flat cultivated land lies alongside the Torrens Stream. This area was planted to maize many years ago and, although currently overgrown, could potentially be brought back into production for a suitable cash crop.

Two stone buildings are situated on the property and, while requiring modernisation and some TLC, offer exciting potential for renovation. Numerous stone-built braai areas are also scattered throughout the farm, providing inviting spots from which to enjoy the surrounding bush and views.

Water is currently supplied through rainwater harvesting, with tanks connected to the gutters of the existing buildings. There is also an old windmill on the property which is no longer operational. This provides potential for the water point to be upgraded with a solar-powered pumping system, subject to assessment of the existing infrastructure and water source.

A good internal road network provides access to much of the property, making it easy to explore and appreciate the varied landscape.

The undisturbed bush provides a natural habitat for a variety of indigenous wildlife, including bushbuck, common grey duiker, bushpig and vervet monkeys, among others.

With breathtaking views, abundant natural beauty and a genuine sense of seclusion, this is a property where one can truly unwind and reconnect with nature.

Whether envisioned as a private sanctuary, eco-tourism destination or unique lifestyle property, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an unspoilt piece of the Eastern Cape countryside.
