Property description
Tucked deep within the wild heart of the Greater Kruger lies a private and newly-built bushveld home that effortlessly blends modern eco-conscious living with untamed natural beauty Grietjie Private Nature Reserve—part of the Big 5 Balule Nature Reserve.
Built for Wildlife, Designed for Peace
This home has been strategically positioned in a quiet, elevated section of the reserve, offering sweeping views of the surrounding hills and bushveld below. A well-used waterhole directly in front of the home invites daily visits from elephant, antelope, and a range of other wildlife, making it a haven for nature lovers and photographers.
Stylish Simplicity Meets Thoughtful Functionality
The home is intelligently designed to be low maintenance, light-filled, and efficient, with every detail carefully considered to support off-grid independence. The architecture is clean and modern, featuring sealed concrete floors, large glass sliding doors, and high levels of insulation for climate control—cool in summer, warm in winter.
The open-plan living area flows seamlessly from lounge to kitchen, onto a spacious shaded patio where panoramic views steal the show. The kitchen features granite tops, custom roll-out cupboards, a gas hob, double sink, pantry, and laundry area. A 24,000 BTU aircon keeps the main living area comfortable year-round.
