Property description
Trout Farm Hideaway – Secluded Mountain Retreat Near Lydenburg
Nestled in the majestic mountains just outside Lydenburg, this 245-hectare trout farm offers a rare blend of lifestyle, natural beauty, and business opportunity. Located within a greater nature reserve—where no internal fencing or hunting is permitted—this tranquil escape is home to free-roaming game and unspoiled landscapes.
A scenic stretch of over 1km along the Spekboom River provides exceptional fly-fishing opportunities, while dramatic rock faces and panoramic views create an ideal setting for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The property includes four charming, well-kept homes, ideal for a private family retreat or hospitality venture.
Trout farming infrastructure includes a hatchery with eight cement raceways and three earth grow-out dams. Additional improvements include workshops, storerooms, sheds, and two electric-fenced game camps with bomas. A small nyala herd currently resides on the farm.
The main residence is a comfortable three-bedroom home, all en suite, with open-plan living areas, a wood-burning fireplace, and lush, established gardens. A self-contained granny flat, a 100sqm office, and staff accommodation provide further functionality.
For equestrian use, there are 2 hectares of fenced paddocks, shelters, and troughs. The property is supported by Eskom power and an electric submersible pump that feeds 20,000L of water storage. An internet tower ensures good connectivity across the main dwellings.
Whether you're dreaming of a peaceful mountain lifestyle, developing an eco-retreat, or continuing the trout farming legacy, this unique property offers the infrastructure, location, and beauty to make it a reality.
