According to Collin Wright, a property investor, "at this stage interest is slow to convert into sales, which means that for now it remains a buyers’ market".

“Bushveld estates in Limpopo and Mpumalanga are attracting particular interest”, says Wright, “as the market is now ideal for investment in exclusive lifestyle and leisure properties and there are substantial discounts to be had on exceptional value properties. In Gauteng, potential buyers are looking for private weekend retreats within comfortable driving distance from the city.

One example is the Dithõlõ Wildlife Estate, only two hours away from Johannesburg, which has an enquiry list of over 200 interested buyers”.

Wright adds that private bushveld reserves offer a very attractive long-term return on investment. Because there is only a limited number of such properties available on the market, owners can expect a substantial increase in value in the future.

Dithõlõ is a unique property development, set against the backdrop of the Waterberg Mountains and consisting of only sixty secluded, secure and fully serviced freehold residential stands of one hectare each, flanked by Dithõlõ’s private nature reserve which is home to a variety of fauna and flora, including a plethora of bird species, making this an ornithologists’ paradise. Game in the nature reserve includes white rhino, buffalo and sable antelope and the reserve boasts a progressive conservation and breeding programme.

This unspoilt bushveld estate is set against the backdrop of the awe-inspiring Waterberg Mountain Range.
