About this property

Set within a tranquil African landscape approximately 10km from Harare’s city centre and just a short distance from Chisipite Shopping Centre, Thorntree Riverside Lodge presents a unique and exciting 40-acre real estate and development opportunity. Once a vibrant and sought-after destination, the property was previously operated as a lodge, wedding and events venue, private function facility and corporate conference destination, with boardrooms and spaces suitable for a variety of events and gatherings. The lodge has been inactive for over 10 years and is currently in need of significant refurbishment and revitalisation. However, the existing property, expansive land and exceptional location offer enormous potential for the right investor or developer. The property boasts a beautiful riverfront setting, with scattered petrified trees, abundant birdlife and a peaceful natural environment that feels far removed from the bustle of the city, while remaining conveniently close to Harare’s amenities. There is an opportunity to restore Thorntree Riverside Lodge to its former vibrant character, creating a modern boutique lodge, wedding and events venue, private functions destination or corporate retreat. Alternatively, the 40-acre site provides an exciting blank canvas for a completely new development concept. Potential opportunities include: * A revitalised lodge and hospitality destination * Wedding and events venue * Private functions and celebrations * Corporate retreat and conference facility * Residential estate development * Retirement or old-age home / senior living community * Mixed-use or other lifestyle development * A private nature-focused residential or recreational developmen
