This peaceful & authentic development is the ideal place to work from home or retire and live in harmony with nature. Tar roads to each stand sets this development apart from other private game reserves of similar size. All stands have spectacular views of the mountains and bushveld. The developer considered personal privacy, visual disturbance and minimum noise pollution as key priorities when positioning the stands. The size of the stands, 2500 square meters, have been deliberately chosen to limit the impact on the natural environment. To add to the quality of the development, all buildings conform to contemporary architectural guidelines. This, however, still allow for personal preferences regarding the design. Apart from a gatehouse with facilities for guards we also have a communal complex housing the administrative office, swimming pool, play area, picnic spots and tennis court. All the above will ensure a highly accessible, low-density, ecologically sensitive development of exceptional quality.
