This secure estate features 343 spacious residential stands ranging from 750 m² to 3,600 m², each designed to maximize views of wildlife and natural fauna[1]. Residents benefit from 24-hour security, including a state-of-the-art control room, full CCTV coverage of the perimeter, controlled access, and regular security patrols[1]. Additionally, there is a dedicated conservation team responsible for managing the estate’s diverse wildlife population.
