Set amongst the peaceful rolling foothills of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, Garlington Estate commands beautiful views of the lower Midlands countryside and sets a new standard in contemporary country lifestyle.
Garlington is situated in Hilton, a 5-minute drive down the hill to Pietermaritzburg but elevated above the city and surrounding areas. Garlington’s Design Philosophy is unique in this part of the World and follows traditional values, with a focus on Community and a stress-free country lifestyle.
FACILITIES
The Estate features a lifestyle centre, gym, restaurant, tennis courts, and driving range with local wildlife and nguni cattle that freely wander the grounds. Local schools in the Midlands Meander area are ranked among the best in the World.
The objective of the developers of Garlington is to create the finest development in Pietermaritzburg and the Midlands. An holistic estate which provides a full range of houses from apartments ranging in size from 58m² to 180m², a central core based off the design elements of Stellenbosch with properties ranging in size from 300m² to 1000m² and outer lying ‘gentlemen’s retreats’ which are over a hectare.
It is important to the developers that the country feel of the area is retained. To do this, over half of the property has been kept as open spaces, allowing for horse-riding, hiking and mountain biking.
The architecture – one of the main features at Garlington finds its roots in the original Cape Dutch farmhouse built on the property in the 1800’s, as well as Hilton College just a couple of kilometers from Garlington.
