Prime Location: Aasvoëlbad is uniquely situated from the Buffer Zone to the summit of the Magaliesberg mountain, ensuring complete privacy with no direct road access. The property spans five title deeds, forming a vast and unspoiled wilderness retreat.

50 hectares of the sanctuary, secured by fencing, serves as a thriving game camp. Here, you can spot a variety of wildlife, including Springbok, Njala, Blesbok, and Rooi hartebees.
The modern farmhouse (420 sqm) is fully off-grid, with borehole water and a solar power system. The home is also protected by a Paradox infrared security system, monitored by a local armed response team.
The property features lush, irrigated gardens with an extensive collection of cycads, succulents, and aloes, making it a paradise for birdwatchers. A serene stream and multiple ponds with water lilies add to the tranquil setting.
Grazing lawns are home to tame animals such as impala and njala, creating a peaceful and harmonious living environment.
Additional Buildings & Features:

The fenced section includes an office with an 80+ sqm garden flat, complete with its own vegetable and indigenous tree gardens.
Dedicated boreholes supply water to both the office/flat and the main house, with the option to regulate flow between the two.
Well-maintained tracks throughout the 50-hectare game camp facilitate firefighting, game viewing, and fence maintenance.
Core Zone Wilderness:

The remaining 150 hectares of the sanctuary lie in the Biosphere’s core zone, a protected area rich in natural springs and lush vegetation, including rare tree ferns.
A charming bush camp is nestled within this zone, featuring two cabins, an outdoor kitchen, and a unique open-air bath with hot water from a donkey boiler. A flush toilet and private shower add comfort to this rustic retreat.
