Castle view – an equestrian estate with magnificent berg views

Set against the rolling green hills of Castle View Estate in Hilton, this extraordinary sandstone residence is a rare Midlands offering designed for buyers who value privacy, craftsmanship and true self-sufficiency. The nearly 1 000m² home sits elevated to capture uninterrupted views across the dam toward the Drakensberg escarpment, with Giant’s Castle framed like a living painting from the main living spaces. Built from hand-chipped Lesotho sandstone, the home blends timeless country architecture with modern comfort and a quietly luxurious, off-grid lifestyle.

The interior is expansive yet warm, with five en-suite bedrooms and a series of generous reception rooms designed for entertaining and family living. A classic country kitchen with granite tops flows effortlessly into the dining and lounge areas, supported by a separate scullery and laundry. Underfloor heating, a comprehensive solar system with 20 solar panels and 20 000 litres of water backup (via borehole) ensure comfort and resilience year-round. Double-glazed windows in TV lounge, dedicated home office and oversized patio extend the living experience, while four garages, Electric fencing, additional ClearView security and roller shutters provide peace of mind without compromising aesthetics.

For the discerning equestrian owner, the infrastructure is exceptional and professionally designed. Eight large stables anchor a secure one-hectare stable block, complemented by a tack room, feed room, wash bay and grooms’ accommodation. Additional paddocks can be incorporated depending on the selected purchase option, allowing the property to function as a private equestrian estate or boutique training facility. Supporting structures include a substantial 530m² workshop and a 170m² hay barn, offering rare versatility for business, storage or hobby use.

Above the garages, a loft space stands ready to be converted into a private cottage or creative studio, further enhancing the estate’s flexibility. Every element of the property speaks to careful planning, scale and quality, creating a residence that feels both grand and grounded in its Midlands setting. This is a home for buyers seeking a bespoke lifestyle property where views, infrastructure and independence come together seamlessly.

Multiple purchase configurations are available, from a compact one-hectare estate to the full four-hectare holding at a reduced price point, allowing buyers to tailor the acquisition to their vision. Buy the whole lot and give yourself the opportunity to develop later in an area where demand always outweighs supply.

Opportunities of this calibre in Hilton are exceptionally rare — a statement estate offering scale, beauty and long-term value in one of the Midlands’ most sought-after addresses.
