Investment Opportunity In The Heart Of The Kzn Midlands, Lidgetton

Located just 10 minutes from Michaelhouse, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a versatile Midlands holding with significant income-generating and development potential. A private tree-lined driveway creates a beautiful sense of arrival, leading into a peaceful country setting surrounded by established gardens and open space.
Previously operated as a guest house, the property is currently being utilised for month-to-month accommodation, providing a healthy rental income while offering the flexibility to revive the guest house, establish a retirement or wellness facility, or create a private country estate.
The main accommodation complex features 10 bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, together with guest facilities including formal and television lounges, a spacious 32-seater dining room, office, bar, swimming pool and tennis court. The furniture is included, providing an excellent opportunity for a purchaser looking to continue with an accommodation-based operation.
The main thatched residence, finished with Harvey tiles for reduced maintenance, offers a warm and inviting country atmosphere. A spacious lounge with a fireplace forms the heart of the home, while four additional cottages above the main house open directly onto the surrounding lawns. Most of the accommodation is currently rented on a month-to-month basis.
A major advantage is the property’s off-grid infrastructure. A substantial solar and battery system significantly reduces reliance on the electricity grid, supported by a large backup generator and gas geysers for cloudy or misty Midlands weather. Two boreholes provide an ample and reliable water supply for the entire property.
