R28,966,000 | 920Ha Farm For Sale in Dullstroom Rural

R28,966,000 excl VAT.

Dullstroom has always been known as a trout fisherman’s paradise and this exceptional farm is the ultimate fishing destination. Set on a picturesque 920 hectare farm, this well-established, pet-friendly self-catering retreat has been operating successfully for over 25 years (2025). The waters include 4 kms of the Witpoort River, offering natural pools, white waters, waterfalls and ideal natural breeding grounds for both brown and rainbow trout. There is a total of six streams on the farm, running into the Witpoort. There are two dams and a good-sized weir.

Five self-catering stone cottages, sleeping 30 guests in total. They are all furnished and fully equipped and well-spaced from each other, so that privacy is not compromised. There is a manager’s house and a conference and entertainment centre, that is fully equipped for conferencing or hosting events with a comprehensive kitchen and toilets.

This property is ideal for investors seeking a turnkey hospitality business or entrepreneurs looking to expand into the eco-tourism and event-hosting space and could include cattle farming or wildlife breeding. It does have a large variety of indigenous game and birdlife.
This is a very viable going concern and would include the South African registered rights to a very well know American brand name.
