Exceptional Wildlife Sanctuary & Farm: A Unique Investment Opportunity

Discover a truly unique opportunity to acquire a breathtaking 38.5-hectare wildlife sanctuary nestled in the serene Bela Bela Rural, South Africa. This remarkable property, accessible via a registered Servitude Road through a prestigious estate, is fully equipped for eco-tourism, volunteer programs, and dedicated wildlife rehabilitation, with a current specialisation in monkey rescue and release.

The extensive infrastructure supports a thriving operation, featuring a spacious 260 sqm main house with en-suite guest rooms, complemented by three additional guest houses and two volunteer houses. A dedicated staff village includes two houses and caravans, alongside two cottages, garages, a cooler room, and ample storage facilities. The property boasts 13 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, 4 kitchens, and 4 lounges, ensuring comfortable living and operational capacity. Essential amenities such as a swimming pool, lapa, laundry, borehole, and water tanks enhance the lifestyle and functionality of this nature reserve setting.

This offering includes all non-movable assets, such as trailers, generators, appliances, and essential tools, ensuring a seamless handover. Furthermore, the sale encompasses movable assets including fully furnished houses, a reliable 2018 ISUZU 4x4 Bakkie (long wheelbase), caravans, and existing stock. This presents a rare chance for conservation-minded buyers or eco-tourism investors to step into a fully operational sanctuary with a committed team.

Two flexible purchase options are available to suit diverse investment strategies. Option 1: Straight Sale at R6,440,000, includes the full transfer of the farm and the Wildlife Care NPC, with the current owner offering to stay on as an unpaid volunteer to ensure a smooth transition. Option 2: A Structured Payment Plan at R10,440,000 over four years, with annual payments of R2.5M. This option includes a R500,000 annual reinvestment into the farm, effectively reducing the total investment to R8,440,000. Under this plan, the owner and team will remain to manage rehabilitation and release efforts at no extra cost, providing ample time for monkey release or relocation, with the potential to convert the property into a private game farm.

Embrace this unparalleled opportunity to own a significant piece of South Africa's natural heritage. Serious inquiries are invited to explore the potential of this exceptional property.
