Green Acres Estate Area Profile

Green Acres Estate at a glance

Green Acres Estate is one of a few highly sought-after, higher-end security estates located within the Montana Tuine area.  It is a newly developed security estate with a selection of modern styled houses.  Properties are new, still well maintained with beautifully manicured gardens, while the greater surrounding environment offers a tranquil, almost lowveld setting.  The benefits that come with the security estate concept contribute greatly to a comfortable and safer lifestyle, an especially enticing homing option for young families and retirees alike with the added benefit of its convenient location to schools, medical facilities, day-to-day amenities as well as the centre of Pretoria.

One can describe the location as a cluster of estates, making for a quieter, more secure area with fairly restricted access.  Travel to main throughfares such as Sefako Makgatho Drive and the N1 Highway is just a short drive away and, as previously mentioned, amenities to day-to-day life style needs are conveniently located within closely surrounding suburbs such as Montana, Montana Park, Sinoville & Wonderboom.

CLIMATE:

With the Magaliesberg Mountain range on its doorstep, Montana Tuine enjoys a certain amount of protection as well as some of the warmer temperatures found within the greater Pretoria North area.   It also has the advantage of a sub-tropical climate which allows for almost year-round natural growth including mostly lowveld grasses and trees such as the beautiful Acacia.  In addition, gardens are so much easier to cultivate and keep going with such a temperate climate.

Summer days can be particularly hot but afternoon showers are the norm bringing evening temperatures down a little.  Summer rainfall usually takes place between October and February while the winter months of, especially, July and August can be quite a bit drier.  Winter mornings can be cold bringing with it the possibility of frost on the odd occasion, but as is typical in Tshwane, winter days become warmer toward the late morning and afternoons.  This subtropical vegetation eases into lowveld even bushveld vegetation, and eventually leads to the Limpopo Province.
