The luxury, secure residential estate Eden Rock Forest Estate in Pennington on the KwaZulu-Natal south coast, has the tagline “come home to paradise” - which captures the essence of this remarkable 62 hectare estate.
“We have for sale in Eden Rock proposed fully-furnished off-plan homes customised to the owner’s taste and inspired by the surroundings. They take just 10 months to complete,” says Downey. Stands of 1 000sqm are available from R1.2 million and fully equipped and completed homes from R3.5 million.Jane Downey of Seeff Pennington says Eden Rock offers luxury apartments, a clubhouse and freestanding homes - all set in pristine indigenous forest, with braai areas, picnic and birdwatching sites and dams and streams to fish in. Many species of buck and birds live among the residents on the estate.
Two of the professionals involved in designing and building homes on this unique estate have also bought sites,” says Downey.
Austrian developer Dr Gabriele Lachinger came on a family trip to Selbourne Golf Estate over 10 years ago, and loved the area so much that she built right next to it. She now has a home at Eden Rock, which she describes as the “best place I have ever lived in”.
Her home has been featured on Top Billing. Architect Nigel Tarboton of Metropole Architects says that the combination of complete privacy and modern architecture juxtaposed against nature is magical, while the amount of glass used gives the feeling of floating in the forest canopy and provides incredible views.
Downey says the focus on individualised design takes each site’s fauna, flora, sounds, textures, orientation and slope into account. Great care has been taken to preserve the indigenous forest and to allow residents to enjoy the peace which nature has to offer.
“Eden Rock Forest Estate is therefore something of a hidden gem. It is perfect for family living and with its dams, streams and magnificent forests it allows you to get out into nature,” she says.
“Here you will feel encouraged to spend more time with your loved ones, away from the stresses of modern life.”

“If chosen as a second home, it can be maintained by the Estate’s staff, and your home could be let out for holiday lets should you so wish.”
Downey says several banks are willing to offer buyers preferential lending rates on this estate. There is also the option of syndication, where a business is set up to own the property and up to three shareholders are allowed, which means you can enjoy paradise at a third of the cost.
Stands of 1 000sqm are available from R1.2 million and fully equipped and completed homes from R3.5 million.
The normal supplies from Eskom, Ugu Water and Telkom are available, although many owners have chosen to be as self-sufficient as possible, with sunken water tanks, borehole water and lots of solar power, says Downey.
