Your Private Game Reserve

Private nature retreat with river access plus Airbnb income.

There are homes that people enjoy… and then there are homes that people simply never want to leave. This is one of those rare finds. Tucked away in the peaceful, sought after Gillitts, this one of a kind offering a lifestyle that feels more like a private game reserve.

From the moment you arrive, you will feel it: the stillness, the birdsong, the indigenous garden alive with colour, and the earthy warmth of the thatch. Even visitors find themselves lingering and reluctant to leave.

A path leads from the level garden to your very own stretch of the Molweni River. It’s a trail that invites you to slow down, take in the forest around you, and reconnect with being outdoors.

Main Home:

The main home is separate from the two income generating cottages. A beautiful indigenous garden surrounds a natural, stone textured swimming pool, creating a buffer between the house and the driveway, Airbnb, and bachelor cottage.

The open plan lounge and dining area has an easy flow and is warmed by a fireplace. The kitchen brings a farm style charm, with its country trough basin, generous counter and cupboard space, and a dedicated spot for laundry appliances.

Two bedrooms and a full bathroom are positioned on the lower level, while the entire upstairs is dedicated to a grand master suite. This space could easily be divided into two large bedrooms but as it stands, it’s an inviting retreat with an ensuite bathroom and ample built in cupboards. You will feel as though you are sleeping in a five star bush lodge.

One of the most special features of this home is the private bird watching deck almost like a hidden treehouse, but without the stairs. It’s the perfect spot for outdoor dining, reading, or simply soaking up the natural surrounds.

If you have been searching for a home that offers space, peace and quiet, income potential, and a deep connection to nature, this is it. Welcome to the kind of place that’s hard to leave, and even harder to replace.
