A RARE INCOME-PRODUCING BUAHVELD PROPERTY IN THE CRADLE OF HUMANKIND
This is not simply a 10-bedroom farm. It is an established 10-hectare lifestyle and hospitality property in Kalkheuwel, comprising multiple separate dwellings, an operating short-stay accommodation business, extensive infrastructure and an exciting foundation for further hospitality development.

Set in natural bushveld close to Lanseria and the Lion & Safari Park, the property offers something increasingly difficult to find: space, privacy, income generation and genuine expansion potential within easy reach of Johannesburg.

The property currently includes four existing accommodation/residential components, with a second luxury Tiny Home under construction and expected to be completed during September 2026.

The first Tiny Home has become an important proof of concept for the property. Beautifully designed, privately positioned in the bush and finished to a high standard, it currently achieves an occupancy rate reported at above 80%, demonstrating the demand for this type of short-stay experience.

For an entrepreneur, hospitality operator or investor, that is where this property becomes particularly interesting.

FROM A FARM TO A SCALABLE HOSPITALITY CONCEPT
The current owner is an entrepreneur who has progressively developed the property around a broader concept:
create a distinctive bushveld destination close enough to Johannesburg for short stays, but secluded enough to feel like a genuine escape.

The original vision included the potential development of approximately 20 tiny-home or pod-style accommodation units across the 10 hectares. Rather than attempting to build the entire concept at once, the owner started by creating a proof of concept.
Tiny Home 1 is operating.
Tiny Home 2 is now being completed.
And the existing short-stay operation is already generating income.
The next owner therefore has several choices.
Continue operating the property much as it is today.
Expand the existing accommodation operation gradually.
Develop additional premium tiny homes or exclusive bush pods over time, subject to all required planning and statutory approvals.
Or simply enjoy the extraordinary lifestyle offering while allowing the existing accommodation to contribute towards the property's running costs.
The infrastructure and first stages of the concept are already here.

FOUR DISTINCT ACCOMMODATION COMPONENTS
One of the biggest things missing from your current advert is this. I'd give it its own section.
The property should not be understood as one enormous 10-bedroom residence.
It comprises multiple independent living and accommodation spaces, allowing residents and paying guests to occupy different parts of the farm with considerably greater privacy.

EXISTING ACCOMMODATION INCLUDES:

House 1 – approximately 268 m²: A substantial primary residence offering generous living accommodation.
House 2 – approximately 225 m²: A second sizeable dwelling suitable for family, management accommodation or short-stay use.
House 3 – approximately 168 m²: Additional independent accommodation adding considerably to the flexibility of the property.
Luxury Tiny Home 1 – approximately 120 m²: A beautifully executed, technology-rich bushveld retreat with modern finishes, private living spaces and a strong short-stay booking history.
Luxury Tiny Home 2 – approximately 140 m²: Currently under construction and anticipated for completion during September 2026, adding further premium accommodation and revenue capacity.

AN ESTABLISHED SHORT-STAY BUSINESS
The property is currently used for premium short-stay accommodation and has developed an established guest base.  Tiny Home 1 in particular has demonstrated the strength of the concept, with the seller reporting occupancy levels of just above 80%.  The existing accommodation offering can generate significant revenue during high-demand periods, while completion of Tiny Home 2 will add additional short-stay capacity.  For a serious buyer, historical booking and occupancy information can be made available during the due-diligence process, subject to appropriate confidentiality arrangements.

FURNITURE AND OPERATING ASSETS INCLUDED
The property is being offered together with the furniture currently used within the accommodation operation, subject to an agreed inventory forming part of the sale.  This creates the possibility for a new owner to acquire not simply land and buildings, but a property that is substantially equipped for continued hospitality use.  For an investor, that reduces one of the significant costs and complications involved in establishing a new accommodation business.

INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGNED FOR GREATER INDEPENDENCE
The property has been developed with a strong emphasis on reducing dependence on conventional municipal services — an increasingly valuable advantage for both residential and hospitality operations.
Infrastructure includes:
• approximately 12 kW three-phase solar installation;
• approximately 10 kW battery backup;
• backup generator;
• borehole and alternative water infrastructure;
• water storage;
• gas cooking;
• gas heat-pump systems;
• swimming pools;
• extensive internal roads;
• approximately 500 m² workshop and operational space; and
• established infrastructure serving the various dwellings.
Together, these systems create a property capable of supporting a substantial residential and hospitality operation.

A FURTHER ENTREPRENEURIAL OPPORTUNITY
The property's water resources may offer an additional commercial opportunity.  The seller previously investigated the development of an on-site water bottling operation and infrastructure associated with that concept has formed part of the property's broader development plan.  For a buyer wishing to pursue this opportunity, the water source, historical testing, existing infrastructure and regulatory requirements should be independently investigated as part of due diligence.

BUSHVELD LIVING WITHIN REACH OF JOHANNESBURG
One of the property's strongest advantages is its accessibility.  It offers the atmosphere of a genuine bushveld retreat while remaining conveniently positioned for Lanseria, the Cradle of Humankind, nearby tourism destinations and the north-western Johannesburg suburbs.

That makes it particularly well-suited to the short-break and weekend accommodation market — guests can leave Johannesburg and feel that they have escaped into the bush without undertaking a long-distance journey.  And that helps explain the occupancy.

THE WILDLIFE STORY
The farm borders natural bushveld and lies alongside the Lion & Safari Park environment, creating an extraordinary sense of immersion in nature.  Eland, kudu, warthog and other wildlife are encountered in the area, while the distant sound of lions forms part of an experience that is remarkably difficult to believe exists this close to Johannesburg.  Morning coffee on the Tiny Home deck feels less like Gauteng and considerably more like a private bushveld escape.

WHO SHOULD VIEW THIS PROPERTY?
It deserves the attention of a buyer looking for something different:
• a hospitality entrepreneur;
• a short-stay accommodation operator;
• an investor wanting an income-producing lifestyle asset;
• a family wanting several independent residences on one property;
• an entrepreneur interested in developing a boutique bushveld destination;
• or a buyer wanting a private retreat with the ability to generate meaningful supplementary income.

There is already a business here. The opportunity is deciding what the next chapter should become.

COME AND SEE WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN BUILT
Properties such as this are difficult to understand from photographs alone.  The scale of the land, separation between the accommodation, established infrastructure, workshop facilities, water systems and position of the Tiny Homes within the bush all need to be experienced.  Private viewings are therefore arranged by appointment and sufficient time should be allowed to explore the property properly.  For serious investors or hospitality buyers, further information regarding the existing short-stay operation can be discussed during the viewing and subsequent due-diligence process.  Bring comfortable shoes. There are 10 hectares — and quite a story — to explore.
