About this property

Headline: On the Banks of the Little Mooi — A Midlands Trout Retreat at Engeleni Estate Short Version: Set on roughly 1.7 hectares within secure Engeleni Estate, this off-grid country home sits directly on the Little Mooi River, one of South Africa`s premier wild brown trout waters. Three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a double-sided fireplace and a wraparound verandah frame sweeping views toward Giants Castle and the Drakensberg foothills. Full Description: Wake to the sound of the river and open your windows to rolling grassland that rises toward the Drakensberg. Engeleni Estate offers a rare kind of country living — genuinely off-grid, wholly secure, and set on the banks of the Little Mooi, renowned as one of the country`s finest wild brown trout fisheries. The two-storey gable-roofed farmhouse wears its Midlands character honestly: whitewashed brick, exposed timber beams, and flagstone floors underfoot. Interconnecting living spaces flow through open doorways and gather around a double-sided fireplace, while a covered wraparound verandah becomes the natural heart of the home — a place to dine, unwind and take in the valley below. Upstairs, a light-filled bedroom frames the open landscape through a large casement window. Across three bedrooms and three bathrooms there is comfortable room for family and guests, with a secondary structure adjacent to the main house adding flexibility. Everything here is built for self-sufficient country life. A 10kVA solar system and borehole water free you from the grid, while direct river access, trout dams and walking trails put the estate`s lifestyle at your door. In winter, snow settles across the high grassland; in summer, wildflowers colour the paddocks. On roughly 1.7 hectares just 30 minutes from Nottingham Road, this is a home suited equally to permanent living, a weekend escape, or a four-way ownership syndicate that shares the cost and the reward. A premium riverfront opportunity where the fishing, the views and the value all endure.
