Close to Lanseria Airport and just a short drive from the greater Gauteng metropolis, Blair Atholl offers quintessential country living, with plentiful amenities for all the family. Demand for properties on the estate has risen dramatically since the start of the pandemic as South Africans continue hunting for unique living experiences while working remotely.
The ultimate WFH
This is the place to be for an undisturbed workday. Blair Atholl prides itself on its ultra-minimal density, which is one of the lowest in the country with just over 300 residential stands spread over 600 hectares of lush greenbelt.
Privacy and total seclusion are of prime value here, with each stand averaging 4,000m2 in size and having at least 15m and plenty of leafy, treed surroundings in between each home.
As well as a robust fibre to the home offering, setting up a satellite office here means sitting at a desk with magnificent views of the Magaliesberg Mountains and Cradle of Humankind, as well as the stunning Crocodile River, which meanders through the Gary Player Signature Golf Course.

Why not explore the estate’s extensive nature parks while stretching your legs, or see how many of the free-roaming game animals such as kudu, springbok, nyala and waterbuck you can spot? You can even enjoy a bit of horse riding in between Zoom meetings at the on-site equestrian centre, or a work lunch at one of the estate’s two restaurants. Working from home has never been so convenient or so much fun.
Something for everyone
A universal mix of families have already made Blair Atholl their home, attracted to its wholesome lifestyle offering, convenient transport links, and accessibility to good private schools such as HeronBridge College, Steyn City School and Dainfern College.
Besides the golf course (which hosted the Blair Atholl Championship Sunshine Tour Event last month) and the equestrian centre, residents also have access to tennis courts, swimming pools, squash courts, gym, cycle track and walking trails, two restaurants, helipads, and the Urban Savannah Spa. There is even a 38km mountain biking trail and world-class fly-fishing facilities to top it all off.
A safe and secure aesthetic
Despite increasing demand, the 65 stands currently available are marketed competitively, with prices ranging from R1.5 million to R3 million, depending on their location in the estate. Once the purchase has been made, owners have three years to start their build, and another 18 months to fully complete. Owners are free to use their own team of contractors, provided they follow the estate’s nonrestrictive architectural building guidelines, and are also able to install sustainable infrastructure like solar panels and geysers.
A full suite of security is available for added peace of mind and includes perimeter fencing, full biometric access control, an on-site control room, CCTV cameras and even a rapid response unit, all managed by an elected HOA board and professional management team.
If you want to build a home that caters to your every whim, grants you privacy and space, and lets you make the most of the great outdoors, then come to Blair Atholl Golf and Equestrian Estate.
