Monaghan Farm in Gauteng has been built to preserve farm-style living, with less than 5% of the land developed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monaghan Farm is a lifestyle residential estate situated a mere 3.5km from Lanseria Airport and midway between Johannesburg and Pretoria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pam Golding said that the estate, which was launched in 2007, is set across 517 hectares and has a well-established community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The farm-style estate will see less than 5% of the land being developed, with Highveld grasslands, indigenous vegetation and sweeping views remaining untouched. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The single-storey homes on the estate are also designed to fit into their natural surroundings, with residents set to enjoy the best of both worlds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The architecture of the estate is intentionally understated, with roof farms being simple, colours muted, and materials naturally linked to the environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The estate is highly sought after by buyers seeking a more spacious, country lifestyle without sacrificing convenient access to key urban centres,” said Pam Golding Properties area specialist, Sharen Byren. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Residents value privacy, space, sustainability, security and architectural excellence, while embracing green living and a more considered way of life.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Byren added that increasing traffic congestion around Johannesburg and OR Tambo International Airport is making convenient access to Lanseria Airport more appealing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is especially true for residents of Fourways and northern Johannesburg, as well as for business and leisure travellers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The estate was designed to marry sustainable home design combined with farm-style country living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Created as a low-density legacy estate with strong environmental and architectural principles,\u00a0Monaghan Farm\u00a0has been carefully planned to ensure that its expansive open spaces are permanently conserved,” said Byren. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is a close-knit community, largely made up of families who enjoy the outdoors, respect the environment and appreciate the estate’s relaxed, understated lifestyle.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the estate’s residents are self-employed entrepreneurs, while several are doctors who commute to the Fourways Life Hospital, which is close enough for after-hours calls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stands, which range mainly from 3,000 sqm to 7,000 sqm, have seen a massive rise in values over the last several years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stands around 3,000 sqm attract R2.9 million, while a selection of small stands range from R1.18 million to R1.4 million, including VAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larger homes range from R6.5 million to R24 million, with several new homes under construction for the estate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The estate enjoys 7km frontage along the Jukskei River, and is supported by solar power and water backup systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The riverine bush and open veld of\u00a0Monaghan Farm\u00a0can be explored via an extensive 30km network of trails for running, walking, mountain biking and horseback riding,” said Byren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A gym, padel courts and a multi-sport court are also under construction and are expected to be finished by the end of 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other attractions include the Other Side restaurant, a Montessori school for children up to 12 years old and high-speed fibre-optic connectivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pam Golding said that other schools are a short drive away, while shopping amenities are conveniently located around 10km away from the estate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
