Zebra’s Nest Eco Estate is an exclusive eco and country estate located approximately 15 minutes east of Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa[1][5]. The estate is designed to offer residents the tranquility of nature with the proximity and convenience of city living, making it ideal for those seeking to escape the busy urban lifestyle without being disconnected from amenities[4][5].
This estate features only seven expansive stands, each about 4.2 hectares, set within pristine natural bushveld[4]. Residents enjoy direct access to natural landscapes, bordered by a dam and river, and share the space with a variety of indigenous wildlife, including zebra, nyala, and klipspringer[3][4][5]. The estate places a strong emphasis on conservation, maintaining a low housing density and minimal landscaping limited to indigenous plants. Gardens are typically unfenced, allowing wildlife to move freely throughout the estate[4].
Leisure facilities include an outdoor swimming pool with scenic views, picnic areas, and outdoor furniture for gatherings, promoting a community-focused and nature-oriented lifestyle[2]. Activities such as hiking, bird-watching, and mountain biking are common, with conservation as a guiding principle. The estate allows a maximum of two dogs per household under strict management rules, ensuring harmony with the local wildlife[4].
The estate’s strong water resources, including a substantial borehole and access to the dam, support sustainable living. With its natural beauty, privacy, and luxury, Zebra’s Nest Eco Estate attracts executives and families seeking a secure and comfortable lifestyle close to the city yet immersed in nature[3][4].
