Country resort for sale in Hoedspruit

Welcome to The Island River Lodge - a one-in-a-million opportunity to own a slice of untouched paradise
Exclusive to Pam Golding.
Accessible only via a private causeway, this spectacular 3.88-hectare island sanctuary is cradled by the year-round waters of the Blyde River, nestled under the canopy of majestic 200–300-year-old indigenous trees. Surrounded by nature's finest — including towering Sycamore Figs and Jackalberry trees — this lodge is a birdwatcher's utopia, home to rare species like Pel's Fishing Owl, Trumpeter Hornbills, and dazzling Kingfishers.
This fully operational, 18-bed lodge is an extraordinary find — a turnkey eco-tourism haven or luxury private retreat. The main lodge features an expansive open-plan lounge, dining area, and a modern kitchen, complemented by a scullery, laundry, and guest bathroom. Large windows and doors lead onto a 600m² deck, where outdoor dining, a sparkling pool, and a firepit create unforgettable moments under the African sky.
Accommodation Highlights:
• 4 Luxury Chalets, all en-suite with private covered patios and panoramic views of the river, mountains, and lush foliage
• 4 Oversized Safari Tents, each with private patios and bathrooms, tucked away for privacy and immersion in nature
• 1 Fully Equipped Guest Room

Additional Features Include:

• Tastefully furnished and sold as a complete package – walk in and start operating immediately!
Just 15 km from Hoedspruit and located within the World-Renowned Kruger to Canyons Biosphere, this lodge is not only a haven for nature-lovers but is also ideally situated for tourism, with daily flights from Eastgate Airport to Johannesburg and Cape Town.
