You’ve probably seen “eco‑estate” used a lot lately. But not many estates live it the way Teak Place does.
Homes That Work With Nature
Off‑grid doesn’t mean low tech or low comfort. On Teak Place’s blog, there’s a post titled “Off‑grid living doesn’t mean turning back the clock” that nails it: the goal is homes that reduce waste, use orientation, insulation, and systems that feel invisible. In practice, that means houses that stay comfortable and look great, with less effort, energy, and cost.
The Farm Isn’t Behind You. It’s Around You
JODEV Farms is more than green branding. It supports livestock (cattle, pigs, free-range poultry) and produces vegetables and eggs. Wildlife (zebra, kudu, impala and warthog) also roam. The farm isn’t a backdrop. It’s part of your daily setting, your fresh food source, your view, your rhythm.
Every morning, the land you see is doing its work. Every night, the land “rests” but stays alive.
Wildlife Neighbours, Not Fences
Seeing a zebra or kudu in your periphery is unusual in most estates. Not here. Teak Place blends fences and flow so wildlife isn’t a threat to exclude, it’s part of the beauty. The takeaway: you don’t shut nature out, you live beside it.
Space That Feels Big, Close Enough to City
Teak Place spans 180 hectares. Stand sizes let homes have breathing space. And yet: it’s 15 minutes from Lanseria Airport, 35 minutes from Fourways, 45 minutes from Sandton. You get the value of feeling peace from the bustling city, but it’s not far away.
Why It Matters
Many people dream of “off the grid,” but end up fighting their systems, paying too much, or compromising too much. What Teak Place shows is a middle path. A third option: live with the beauty of nature, the ease of not relying on government systems failing and true comfort.
You get lower utility demand, stronger connection to land and food, views that shift with seasons and animals, and design that fits into the landscape’s beauty.
If you care about comfort, peace, living naturally and securely, Teak Place gives you all that and more.
