saddlebrook
estate
Even though it’s so close to Sandton, and just down
the N1 from Pretoria, Kyalami is a world away from
the hustle and bustle of Gauteng. Green paddocks
enclosed by neat white fences are home to peacefully
grazing ponies, shiny show jumpers, lovely Lipizzaners,
wonderful warmbloods, and even a rescue donkey or
two. For Kyalami is horse country. And Saddlebrook
Estate is its Secretariat.
Founded in 1998, the estate is moving into its second
life cycle. With all the stands sold, and 114 homes
developed, the focus of the new board of trustees
is on improving infrastructure. The modernisation of
the unobtrusive access control system will enhance
Saddlebrook’s security to make it one of the safest
residential estates in the country. Upgrading the bridle
paths, communal areas and jogging tracks will offer
residents more space to play and explore, whether
it’s on horseback or on their own two feet. The club
house, too, is being revamped so homeowners can
enjoy socialising in a vibrant contemporary space.
