Hoedspruit wildlife estates are your ideal bush escape
Category Area Info
Picture this: you wake up every morning to bird calls and fall asleep under a sky studded with stars. You're surrounded by space filled with opportunities for incredible animal sightings. Gorgeous views remind you every day just how rewarding nature can be. This is wildlife estate living at its finest. No longer just a dream, wildlife estates in Hoedspruit allow you to make that bushveld holiday a permanent one - with plenty of amenities to keep you comfortable.
What is a wildlife estate?
These estates promote a lifestyle that brings nature to your doorstep. In Hoedspruit, these are either a 5,000m² or 10,000m² (half a hectare or 1 hectare) stand on which you can build a thatched house or lodge. The dwelling matches certain predetermined architectural guidelines. Surrounded by bushveld and free from fences and walls, you will often find wild game roaming through your property. While gardens are not common, you can plant indigenous plants to indulge your green thumb.
The benefits of wildlife estates
Wildlife estates place you at the heart of nature, allowing you the chance to safely explore everything the outdoors has to offer. South Africa is rich in flora and fauna. In Hoedspruit, you will be treated to the sight of majestic baobab and marula trees and all kinds of animals from elephants to zebras.
If you're on the search for wide-open spaces, wildlife estates are an excellent choice. In recent years, many city slickers are breaking away from their urban jungles because of traffic congestion, pollution concerns, and a need for a change of pace. COVID-19 and lockdowns have even had people re-evaluate their priorities and lifestyles. Wildlife estates give you more space and tranquillity while still keeping you relatively close to towns and cities.
Wildlife estates are fantastic for investors, with an above-average return on investment. Besides trends towards ruralisation, wildlife estates also attract those looking for security, a well-maintained living space, and the exclusivity of living in a luxury wildlife estate. In particular, wildlife estates have caught the eye of foreign investors looking to capitalize on a weak rand and semigration buyers in search of a permanent home or holiday getaway.
Security of both the human and animal residents is of prime importance in wildlife estates. Generally, you can expect strict access control, routine guard patrols, CCTV surveillance systems, anti-poaching practices, and a strong investment in fencing and road maintenance by the estate's management.
Status is definitely a part of the appeal of living in a wildlife estate. The exclusivity and top amenities place you in a league of your own. However, if you want to make a difference in the world, wildlife estates can also help you embrace your green values. These estates are built to exist in harmony with nature by promoting sustainable living. They also make you an active participant in preserving the local flora and fauna in the area.
