This exceptional 18.5-hectare smallholding is perfectly positioned along Dargle Road in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, just a short drive from Howick. Currently run as a successful self-catering accommodation business, the property offers a seamless combination of lifestyle and investment potential. With a spacious 600m2 main home and four beautifully appointed cottages, it boasts a total of 14 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms.
Set on elevated ground, the property offers breathtaking 360-degree views—most notably of the iconic Inhlosane Mountain and surrounding timber plantations. It’s a peaceful, picture-perfect escape that captures the heart of Midlands living.
The main homestead, dating back to 1913, has been lovingly maintained and retains its classic charm with five generous bedrooms, high ceilings, and expansive living areas. A large, covered veranda overlooks level grazing fields, a tennis court, and manicured gardens—making it ideal for both relaxed family life and guest enjoyment.
Each of the four cottages is self-contained, privately positioned, and ranges from one to three bedrooms. Designed with comfort and functionality in mind, they provide guests with serene stays and stunning views. The property also includes a communal room with a bar for gatherings and a separate shop currently stocked with guest essentials.
Supporting infrastructure includes a large laundry room, multiple storage sheds, and seven staff rooms. Three-phase power supports all operations, while water is reliably sourced from a nearby stream that fills holding tanks and feeds into a private dam. A pressure pump system ensures clean water is efficiently distributed across the property.
The entire estate is secured with electric fencing and offers ample space for further development or customization. All movable furniture and equipment essential to running the accommodation business are included in the sale, making it a fully operational, turn-key opportunity.
Whether you're looking for a peaceful country lifestyle, an income-generating hospitality venture, or a hybrid of both, this property offers it all in one captivating package.
