Police spokesperson Khosana Malebo says the police were notified after a woman's screams were heard at the farm.
He says a domestic worker was approached by a man with a 9mm pistol while she was hanging laundry in the yard.
Khosana says the men, who are believed to be zama zamas (illegal miners), were arrested with the assistance of a helicopter owned by a Welkom businessman, on the riverbanks at Tikwe River Lodge.
He says nothing was stolen and a case of attempted house robbery has been opened. The men will remain in custody for further questioning.
