Property description
Trout Farm Hideaway – Lydenburg Mountain Retreat
This 245ha mountain retreat offers a rare opportunity to own a working trout farm and lifestyle hideaway within a greater nature reserve near Lydenburg. The reserve has no internal fences, allowing game to roam freely across the properties. No hunting is permitted, preserving the area's peace and biodiversity.
The property includes four well-maintained homes—ideal for private use or guest accommodation—set along the picturesque Spekboom River, with over 1km of groomed riverbank perfect for fly fishing. Rock climbing cliffs and scenic mountain views complete the outdoor offering.
Infrastructure includes a trout hatchery with eight cement dams and three earth grow-out dams, workshops, storerooms, and two sheds. The main house features three en suite bedrooms, open-plan living, a wood-burning fireplace, and established gardens. Additional amenities include a granny flat, a 100sqm office, and worker accommodation.
Horse lovers will appreciate the 2ha of fenced paddocks, feed shelters, and troughs. Two electric-fenced game camps are in place, along with two game bomas. The property supports a small herd of nyala.
Water is sourced from an electric submersible pump feeding 20,000L of storage, and there’s reliable Eskom power throughout. An internet tower provides coverage to key buildings on the farm.
This is an ideal opportunity for those seeking a sustainable lifestyle, ecotourism potential, or simply a peaceful mountain escape with established infrastructure in a pristine natural setting.
