Intro:
The original 4400ha farm is located within the 12 000ha Eco-Nature Reserve between Bela Bela and Thabazimbi in the Limpopo Province, South Africa known asRooiberg. It is nestled between Mabula Big 5 Private Game Reserve and Meletse Golf Estate on the Waterberg Plateau, about two 1.5hour’s drive from Pretoria. The climate of the Waterberg area can be described as temperate and has three distinct seasons, autumn, winter and summer.
The region:
The age of the Waterberg mountains is estimated to be several thousand of years old, with many rock art and geological sites dating back to the Stone Age. Approximately 6 000 square kilometers of the Waterberg is a conservation area with abundant wildlife as well as a bird watchers' paradise. Fences have been removed between the properties of the eight landowners of the Eco-Nature Reserve, within the greater Waterberg, and the game roams freely on the 12 000 hectares eco-reserve.
The Estate:
Care was taken in demarcating the eight residential sites to ensure minimum disruption to the estate both physically and cologically. The sites are not within sight or hearing distance of each other. Only one dwelling per predetermined site is allowed, as to limit the impact on the land. The developer has retained the services of one of the foremost experts in game lodge architecture in South Africa. Eco-friendly energy sources such as solar power and gas is highly encouraged, and are already successfully being utilised on the property.

It offers a peaceful, secure and serene environment to those who wish to own a private lock-up-and-go farm. The property is divided into 8 farms of 500ha each and ownership is restricted to single owners or families (no syndication) to keep human densities low. Owners have traverse rights over Eco-Nature Reserve's 12 000ha. A resident estate manager and dedicated staff provide a cleaning, maintenance and security service to each of the 8 subdivided farms.

Game viewing, bird watching, cycling, hiking and exploring indigenous flora are among the pleasures afforded to the owners, with 130 indigenous tree species, over 30 mammal species and 300 bird species.
These 8 residential sites have been determined by experts to cause minimum disruption to the estate - physically and ecologically - and are not within sight or hearing distance from each other. Only one dwelling per predetermined site is allowed to limit the impact on the land.
The developer has retained the services of one of the foremost experts in game lodge architecture in South Africa. To increase comfort and affordability the use of indigenous and locally available materials as well as local and traditional forms of building will be encouraged. Gardens should be created from indigenous flora only. Nature lovers will agree that appropriate architecture should reinforce the feeling of bush, by diffusing the impact of the residence as an object and rather blend in with the natural environment. Eco-friendly energy sources such as solar power and gas is highly encouraged, and are already successfully in use on the property. Each owner has traversing rights on the entire estate except directly around a private residence!
