Private country living in Balgowan Valley — adjacent to Michaelhouse and minutes from Nottingham Road and the Midlands Meander. North-facing stand with valley views and a communal wood-fired hot tub.
Site 12 is nearest to the nature reserve and is one of the bigger stands at Annandale. Buffered by established pine trees to the west and open grasslands to the south this stand has a gentle gradient with a north facing orientation.
Annandale Country Estate offers an exclusive opportunity to secure one of only 12 large residential stands in a boutique estate located in the heart of the KwaZulu Natal Midlands.

Ideally positioned on Sarsden Road just off the R103, the estate is only 10 minutes from Nottingham Road, Piggly Wiggly, Bosch Hoek Golf Course and Gowrie Farm. It is also perfectly located for exploring the Midlands Meander and nearby Maloti Drakensberg Park.
The north facing stands offer beautiful valley views, while the estate design prioritises space, privacy and first-class security.
Residents will enjoy a range of lifestyle amenities including walking trails, nature parks, pickleball and bocce courts, a pool, wood fired hot tub and communal braai and boma areas.
The estate allows both short term and long-term letting, making it ideal for permanent living, holiday homes or investment buyers.
Developed by Collins Residential, a fourth-generation property group with a strong track record, Annandale Country Estate combines heritage, location and lifestyle in one of the Midlands most sought-after areas.
