Brackenridge Private Residential Estate is a beautifully maintained and extremely secure 128-hectare nature reserve in Plettenberg Bay – the Jewel on the Garden Route ..
This much sought-after development is blessed with magnificent views of the ocean , the Tsitsikamma mountain range and the Robberg Peninsula Nature Reserve , with additional stunning views over the Roodepoort Dam and Plettenberg Bay Golf Course .
The town centre of Plettenberg Bay is a short five-minute drive , affording quick access to excellent shopping facilities and plentiful restaurants to cater for all tastes .
There are 280 stands , each with an approximate size of 1,500 square metres , all nestled in the indigenous fynbos vegetation , bringing a delightful feeling of harmonious living in a relaxed eco estate . A few stands remain available for purchase , but when complete , over 50 % of the estate will remain as open space , affording plentiful walking and biking trails throughout the entire development . Nature trails also offer an opportunity to quietly soak up a huge sense of freedom , as well as appreciating the indigenous birdlife , small animals and plants that occur throughout the estate .
Homeowners are protected by strict access control measures as well as personal security patrols and a 6km electrified perimeter fence . The Brackenridge community boasts its own water supply from its borehole , supported by a first-class water filtering system , which allows management to augment residents ’ water supply as and when needed . A Rapid Response Security System operates 24 / 7 , providing K9 armed response , thermal drones , dogs , and paramedic back-up in case of emergency . There is a vehicle number plate recognition system for easy access for residents , and all movements of domestic staff and all contractors are also strictly controlled . ‘ We count them in , and we count them out ’ is our mantra .
