eco estate
Who says you can’t have it all– convenience, security, space and the sense of being in the
wild? Well, that’s not true. You can have it all. You can have state-of-the-art everything
that opens and closes, and easy access to schools, shops and business centres, and still be
surrounded by wide open spaces filled with a variety of nature’s amazing beauty filled with
kudu, springbok, wildebeest and zebra. It’s a kind of magic that’s hard to find in a modern
world, and it’s called Meyersdal Eco Estate.
In keeping with the theme and ethos of
the estate, only indigenous plants are
used in the landscaping, and large tracts
of land are left unspoilt and natural for
the animals and birds. Game such as red
hartebeest, steenbuck, Burchell’s zebra,
black wildebeest, springbuck of course
and even the huge, placid kudu once
roamed freely among these hills, and
now they’ve been reintroduced. As well
as these reintroduced mammals, which
total well over 200 individual animals,
there are 98 recorded bird species which
include the resident pair of Verreaux’s
eagles, 28 species of reptile, five fish
species and a host of butterflies, bees
and bugs. Residents that are adventurous
can explore the beauty of the estate
along the 16 kilometres of mountain bike
trails or the seven kilometres of hiking
paths while enjoying nature with plenty
of fresh air. And for those that are less
adventurous, the estate can be explored
in the comfort of your vehicle. And if you
