A significant amount of work has been done to prepare the site for a low-impact development that sets an example in best practice within a biosphere reserve.

More than 15 different surveys and assessments have been completed, importantly:

  1. Final BAR, EA and Approval Report with conditions (Overstrand Municipality – Office of the Director: Infrastructure & Town Planning & Spatial Planning).
  2. Authorization for consent use for the development of five additional dwellings on Portion 13 of Farm 563, Caledon.

The Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve was designated by UNESCO in 1998, South Africa’s first biosphere reserve and also Africa’s most southerly. The Melkbos falls within this approximately 100 000 hectares and includes both land and ocean environments. Part of the vision is for owners to actively conserve the biodiversity of the site. A selection of some common and rarer Ericas can be found. So too members of the fynbos endemic families of Brunia, Lanaria and Peneaceae. Some impressive proteas like the Common and Marsh Pagoda and Green Tree Pincushion are found on site.

architecture

Some excellent architectural work has been to done to lay the foundation for a small selection of homes that blend into the natural environment with natural lines. Some of the key elements envisioned for such a development are that it’s off-grid, natural rock and indigenous vegetation is used and importantly various fire conscious concepts incorporated.

  • The designs would make maximum use of the extraordinary views whilst being climate responsive.
  • Continued control and management of alien vegetation to maintain the indigenous vegetation.
