St. Johns Village: Residential Estate in St Johns Village
Set in the picturesque KZN Midlands, St. John's Village is described as the premier retirement and lifestyle estate in the region. Based on the innovative concept of agri-urbanism, developed in the UK and pioneered by Prince Charles with his visionary Poundbury Village in England, St. John's Village combines a diversity of upmarket residential sites and cottages within various "pocket villages" with organic agricultural elements and eco-friendly practices surrounding them.
The architectural code is based on picturesque traditional Natal veranda designs, with face brick, stone and plaster finishes. An emphasis is on a sustainable 'green' way of life, with solar geysers, rainwater harvesting tanks, and organically grown fresh produce planted in communal garden areas. This ties in perfectly to the estate design: a carefree, rural lifestyle for both retirees and young families looking for a safe, comfortable and convenient space to live.
Whilst many perceive the town of Howick to be simply green slopes and dairy farming, it is renowned for being home to some of the finest independent schools in South Africa. Grace College, Hilton College, St. Anne's and Michaelhouse are all within a reasonable commute and the Pietermaritzburg CBD is a mere 20km away.
Built for young and old alike, the retirement component provides an idyllic setting to enjoy the Village's convenient amenities; including a library, house-keeping service, restaurant and an 8-bedroom healthcare facility. If one needs to venture into town then the Howick Mediclinic is a convenient 3km drive from the Estate entrance.
An experienced security team will monitor access controlled entrances, electrified perimeter fencing as well as internal patrols; all whilst residents enjoy an active lifestyle at the bowling green, tennis court, fishing dams and swimming pool. With a shopping mall and boutique hotel on the cards, St. John's Estate provides a country lifestyle for an urban professional.
