Bateleur Estate is a meticulously planned, 200-hectare mature lifestyle development by Vicinity Group, located in Mbombela (formerly Nelspruit), at the foot of the majestic Mpumalanga escarpment.
Designed for residents aged 40 and above,it offers an exceptional quality of life where independence, convenience, and long-term
peace of mind are harmoniously integrated. With over 60 hectares of unspoiled natural spaces, the development embraces
sustainable living through eco-conscious infrastructure such as solar panels and water- wise landscaping, while preserving the surrounding natural beauty.
From its inception, Bateleur was conceived not simply as a place to live, but as a place to thrive. The design vision centres around the integration of nature, architecture, and community. Walkways and indigenous planting invite exploration, while scenic dams form the
heart of the estate. Residences are positioned to maximise privacy, natural light, and bushveld views, with architectural styles balancing
contemporary elegance and practical luxury.
The estate is being developed in carefully managed phases, with 664 homes already completed and a total of 1,040 units planned
for completion. Bateleur offers a range of home types, from compact lock-up-and-go units to bespoke, architect-designed homes, each tailored to suit different lifestyle stages and preferences. The architectural vision reflects timeless sophistication, where contemporary design meets the natural beauty of the Lowveld.
