Farm in Umbabat Nature Reserve For Sale
Description
A truly rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of the Greater Kruger wilderness.
This 428-hectare property lies within the renowned 18,000-hectare Umbabat Private Nature Reserve, which shares open boundaries with the Kruger National Park, Timbavati, and Klaserie Private Nature Reserves.
Kruger National Park directly borders this property along its entire northern boundary – with no fencing – allowing free movement of wildlife between the reserves.

The Land
This long, narrow property showcases a beautiful blend of mixed bushveld trees and Mopani, vegetation highly favoured by elephant and buffalo. Three dams are spread across the property, each showing abundant evidence of passing game.
Water is supplied by four boreholes (two currently in use) powered by solar, with windmill and diesel engine backups. The system has been smartly designed so the boreholes can cross-supply one another, ensuring reliability across the farm.
The entire property now runs on solar power, a significant and recent investment ensuring energy independence and sustainability.
