Bateleur Bastion, a unique estate to the east of Pretoria, nestles against the northern slopes of the Bronberg mountain range and within the municipal boundaries of Wapadrand.
It provides perfect peace of mind and an opportunity to own an ideal stronghold in the mountains, with views interrupted only by indigenous vegetation.
A variety of water birds can be found at the dam on the estate. Picture: Supplied
There are several buck species, abundant bird life, indigenous trees and natural bush and rock outcrops – ideal for the professional or retired person who wants tranquillity on their doorstep, but in the centre of a 24/7-manned security estate.
Bateleur Bastion consists of 13.5 hectares on which 76 fulltitle owners have built their ideal homes. The estate also includes a dam from a natural flow of water from the higher-lying areas.
Strict regulations regarding the preservation of the natural environment and the promotion of indigenous plants and trees are applied by a management body.
The sites are located on three natural plateaus, some offering breath-taking northern views.
