Meyersdal Eco Estate in Alberton is one of the largest and most exclusive residential estates in Gauteng, offering 343 large stands spread across approximately 400-480 hectares of mostly unspoiled, undulating hills that form part of the greater 1080-hectare Meyersdal Nature Area[1][3][4]. Less than 15% of the estate is developed, allowing for a unique living experience that prioritizes harmony with nature, protection of endangered flora and fauna, and exceptional security for residents[1][4].
Located just ten minutes south of Johannesburg, Meyersdal Eco Estate provides a secure, upmarket lifestyle characterized by wide-open spaces, natural wildlife, and state-of-the-art amenities[1][3][4]. The estate includes extensive Highveld grassland, wildlife such as kudu, wildebeest, and zebra, as well as 14 species of game and 98 recorded bird species[3][4][6]. There are 16 kilometers of mountain bike trails, a 7-kilometer hiking trail, three dams with indigenous fish, squash and tennis courts, a clubhouse with event facilities, camping sites, and viewing decks for residents to enjoy sundowners in a tranquil natural setting[4][6].
Meyersdal Eco Estate is conveniently located with easy access to nearby schools, shopping centers, business districts, major highways (N12 and R59), and places of worship[4][6]. Security is a prominent feature, with the estate offering a 24-hour control room, full-perimeter CCTV, controlled access, and regular patrols, ensuring a safe and peaceful environment[1][4][6].
The Meyersdal area itself has deep historical roots, originating from the Elandsfontein farm owned by the Meyer family, whose heritage is still evident in the suburb’s name and preserved properties[2][8]. Residential offerings in Meyersdal Eco Estate include luxuriously appointed homes and stands ranging from 750m² to 4000m², attracting discerning buyers seeking both luxury and a connection to nature[4][5][7].
