Description

A unique 1,500-hectare bush retreat in the Waterberg, only an hour and a half from Pretoria and two hours from Johannesburg, Boschhoek Mountain Estate offers residents a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Boschhoek is hidden away in the mountains of the Waterberg.

Every stand has its own water connection, with an engineer designed water reticulation network supplied by estate boreholes. Being off the grid, Boschhoek does not depend on any local authority for services.

All common property, infrastructure and game is managed and maintained by the Home Owners Association, with an Estate Manager and a dedicated team.

Security is excellent, being landlocked and surrounded by private land. There is also a 14 kilometre electrified game fence all around the estate and a dedicated security company.

The estate is well established, with more than 120 stands (85%) sold and 65 houses built. The estate has been functioning for ten years already. The best stands were kept for a last phase, and these are now available.

Boschhoek was probably the very last full title bush estate approved before a change in legislation about a decade ago. The remaining stands are literally the last. With the supply thus capped and demand ongoing, values are bound to increase exponentially going forward. Several French, German and American owners bear testimony to Boschhoek’s market appeal.

With almost 90% of the estate being common property, owners don’t only buy their own full title 1-2 hectare stand, but they also get all of Boschhoek’s almost 1500 hectares included in the deal. The total building footprint on the estate is only around 0.25% (a quarter percent). The other 99.75% is unadulterated nature. Despite this, current stand prices are limited to between R1 mil and R1.5 mil.

Game includes giraffe, sable, roan, tsessebe, kudu, impala, waterbuck, red hartebeest, eland, nyala, bushbuck, reedbuck, mountain reedbuck, klipspringer, warthog and a host of smaller species. Buffalo and rhino are purposefully absent, allowing residents to walk and cycle all over the estate. With 40km of mountain roads Boschhoek is a cyclist’s paradise.

Everyone of us has our own bush dream. Boschhoek allows a lot of freedom in terms of building. There is no minimum size, allowing you to start as small as you wish and expand over time. No particular style or building materials is prescribed, provided the buildings blend in. There are 10 years to start building.
