Property description

Off-Grid Trout Farm Retreat in the Pristine Finsbury Valley – 343ha in a 15,000ha Private Nature Reserve

Situated in the breathtaking Finsbury Valley near Lydenburg, this 343-hectare off-grid trout farm offers an exclusive escape within the Mount Anderson Water Catchment Nature Reserve – a 15,000ha Government Gazetted reserve with only seven landowners. With no internal fencing, game roams freely, creating a true wilderness experience in a protected, privately owned conservation area.

Tourism-zoned and free from agricultural or mining activity, the farm is a sanctuary of unspoiled nature. It features two fully off-grid, solar-powered homes – both beautifully furnished. The main house sleeps eight, while the second accommodates seven guests. Each home includes undercover parking and is thoughtfully positioned to take in sweeping views of the valley and surrounding mountains.

Pristine mountain streams run through the farm, offering excellent trout waters and an idyllic setting for fly fishing, hiking, and nature-focused retreats. Naturally occurring wildlife includes Kudu, Eland, Vaal Rhebuck, Mountain Reedbuck, Black Wildebeest, Zebra, and Leopard – all moving freely across the reserve thanks to the no-hunting policy that preserves the reserve’s peaceful and biodiverse environment.

The landscape also holds echoes of its gold mining past, with visible remnants providing historical depth. However, mining is no longer permitted, ensuring long-term ecological protection.

This property is a rare opportunity for investors or nature lovers seeking a high-end eco-tourism enterprise, private retreat, or luxury lodge development in one of South Africa’s most spectacular and biologically rich mountain regions.

Access is strictly controlled, ensuring unmatched privacy and security.
