been identified. And there are loads more
hiking trails, where you may just spot a
cautious zebra or a shy and illusive kudu.
The Meyersdal Eco Estate has everything
you would expect from a luxury residential
community – tennis, squash and a wellappointed clubhouse with a bar spacious
patio overlooking the nature area and
magnificent function venue where you can
celebrate all your milestones – birthdays,
weddings and anniversaries – without having
to leave the estate.
There is no golf course on site, but the
6490-metre, par-72 Sid Brews-designed course
at Glenvista Country Club is minutes away.
The estate’s three dams, which are fed
by natural springs, are a focus for wildlife
and birds. And, of course, people. The
homeowners’ association has created a
spectacular view point to enjoy the vast
open areas from high or to chill while having
a relaxing sundowner as the sun slips away
behind the koppie on which it over looks.
For those that love to spend more time in
nature, the homeowners’ association has
also created a wonderful campsite where
you can pitch your tent under the open sky,
braai some marshmallows and tells ghost
stories. It’s a great place to watch birds,
or just to chill out with the family. Keen
anglers can test their skill in the catch-andrelease dams. If you want fish to put on
the braai, you’ll have to go to the nearby
Meyersdal Mall.
The architectural guidelines, while ensuring
a harmonious and pleasing congruency, are
not onerous. The style is contemporary, with
a huge emphasis on indoor-outdoor flow, use
of plants and water features. The gardens
are all waterwise and mostly indigenous.
There’s also a conservation team to care for
