Auction Inc Vaal Property

Tucked within the exclusive Korhaan River Estate, where fewer than 30 families share in the quiet luxury of open skies, river breeze and uninterrupted privacy, this remarkable property brings country living to life with elegance, intention, and a touch of soul.

Set along the gentle Leeuspruit River — just a short flow from the mighty Vaal — the estate unfolds across 70,500m² of manicured grounds, three shimmering dams, and sweeping lawns made for unhurried afternoons. It’s the kind of setting where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings settle beneath a canopy of stars — whether as a permanent sanctuary or a sophisticated weekend retreat from city rush.

Architecture With Presence & Purpose

Designed by Doug Simon — celebrated for his notable work on the Sasolburg Civic Centre — the main residence carries an architectural gravitas that immediately sets it apart. Generous spaces, abundant natural light and thoughtful flow define the interiors, while heated flooring and luxurious finishes ensure comfort in every season.

Art is part of the home’s fabric too. Custom sculptural elements and commissioned pieces by renowned artist Mark Swart add a singular sense of character — transforming everyday living into something quietly extraordinary.

The main house features:

  • 4 spacious bedrooms

  • 3 refined bathrooms

  • Expansive entertainment spaces opening to panoramic outdoor living

A separate pavilion offers two private guest suites — perfect for visiting family or long-stay guests — while additional accommodation for staff and estate support ensures seamless living.

A Self-Sustaining Retreat — Designed for Today

The property has been engineered with complete independence in mind — modern sustainability without compromise.

  • Functional boreholes

  • Solar power system under contract

  • 110kVA automatic diesel generator

  • Dedicated water purification + sewerage system

  • Three-phase power infrastructure

This is living softly — with security, resilience, and ease.

Leisure, Lifestyle & Land

Whether hosting unforgettable gatherings or seeking quiet sanctuary, the estate is designed to enrich every moment.

  • Two swimming pools

  • Jacuzzi overlooking the gardens

  • Sports field for relaxed recreation

  • Cold storage & freezer room — ideal for catering, events, or farm-to-table living

  • Automated irrigation, drawing directly from the river

This is a property created for life well lived — slow mornings, generous tables, and the kind of company that lingers.
