Escape to 25 hectares of Brakwater bushveld, 20 km north of Windhoek, with mountain views and a turnkey lodge and conference venue — private residence with three bedrooms, three bathrooms.
Set against the serene backdrop of Brakwater’s sweeping bushveld plains and distant mountain views, this exceptional 25-hectare lifestyle and hospitality estate offers a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational lodge and conference venue, together with an expansive private residence, just 20 km north of Windhoek. Priced at N$16,620,000, below valuation, this is more than a property purchase; it is the acquisition of a private sanctuary, an established business, and a high-value investment in one remarkable setting.
Surrounded by natural beauty, open skies, and the quiet rhythm of the Namibian landscape, the property has been designed to offer both privacy and income-generating potential. The setting is undeniably special. A dry riverbed meanders through parts of the land, while gently rising slopes, elevated sections, and broad level areas create depth, character, and impressive outlooks across the bush plains and surrounding mountains. The result is an atmosphere of peace, space, and exclusivity that feels far removed from the city, while remaining conveniently close to Windhoek.
At the heart of the estate lies the substantial 456 sqm private dwelling, a residence that combines generous proportions with warmth, comfort, and elevated lifestyle appeal. From the welcoming entrance foyer to the spacious lounge and dining area with its built-in fireplace, the home has been created for both refined everyday living and effortless entertaining. The kitchen is well appointed with built-in cupboards and a gas stove, and is supported by a scullery, laundry, storeroom, and walk-in safe. Distinctive additional spaces, including an indoor garden, cooler room, and a large entertainment area with a handcrafted sleeperwood bar, give the residence a sense of character and individuality that is increasingly rare to find.
The home further offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms, together with a gym, jacuzzi, and entertainment area that opens the living experience toward the landscape beyond. Here, the natural surroundings become part of daily life, with tranquil bush views and mountain vistas creating an atmosphere of retreat and restoration. A private entrance, four double garages and one single garage, air conditioning, and a swimming pool positioned to take in the gracious natural outlook complete a home that is equally suited to luxurious private occupation or owner-management of the lodge operation.
The commercial component of the property is equally compelling and adds significant value for investors seeking an asset with established hospitality infrastructure. The 290 sqm lodge and conference venue includes a dining area, entertainment and bar area, fully fitted kitchen, cooler room, storerooms, and ablution facilities. Thoughtfully positioned within the natural surroundings, the guest offering includes four bungalows, each comprising one bedroom and one bathroom, as well as five well-equipped campsites that allow visitors to experience the bushveld setting more intimately. A splash pool, expansive veranda braai area, carports, workshop, and two worker dwellings contribute to the functionality and turnkey appeal of the operation.
What makes this estate especially attractive is the way it balances lifestyle, sustainability, and commercial potential. The lodge part of the property is sold lock, stock and barrel, allowing a new owner to step into a ready-made operation with existing infrastructure already in place. Whether envisioned as a boutique lodge, an exclusive private retreat, a conference destination, or an owner-run hospitality venture with room for further growth, the versatility of the asset is clear. The combination of residential luxury and business capability creates multiple avenues for return, while the natural setting elevates the guest experience and strengthens the property’s premium positioning.
The infrastructure further supports long-term value and self-sufficiency. The estate benefits from NAMPOWER, solar electricity with battery backup, municipal water, four boreholes with electric submersible pump installation, and three 5,000-litre water tanks. Security is also a major feature, with 2.1 metre high electrified fencing surrounding the perimeter. These practical assets not only enhance operational resilience, but also reinforce the property’s appeal as a sustainable and well-equipped investment in a highly desirable natural setting.
This is a property for the buyer who understands the value of space, exclusivity, and opportunity. It offers the rare chance to wake each day to the stillness of the bushveld, entertain against a backdrop of mountain views, and own a fully equipped hospitality estate with genuine income potential. Few properties combine such a powerful sense of place with such a solid business foundation.
