Irene Property

Mr J.A van der Byl, who bought the Irene estate in 1896, proclaimed Irene a township in 1902.  Before Irene, it was the site of one of the Burgher refugee camps or concentration camps where the British housed the Boer women and children in tents after their homes had been destroyed in the Anglo Boer war.

In Irene, city dwellers are amazed at the meadow-like environment and uncomplicated lifestyle. Today Irene is officially part of the Tshwane municipality area.  Even though the population has grown considerably, neighbours still know each other and find time to visit and have conversations in a relaxed and safe environment.

Some Irene properties are old with a lot of character and other Irene properties are state of the art in design.  But they all have a few things in common: beautiful big trees, abundant birdlife and friendly people/ neighbours.  It is pure magic to take a walk through the narrow lanes between the sub-divided homes.

Irene properties is centrally located between the R21 and N1 highways, with several private schools and shopping malls in the area. It is also close to the Irene Farm where you can watch the cows being milked and, under the same roof, buy an imperial gallon of the freshest milk. While you enjoy tea in a 109 year old barn, the children can help feed the calves.  Golfers enjoy the close by Irene Country Club, which is also home to the Villagers Cricket team. Often you find more than 100 children practising hockey on the Oval (a big piece of land - also a cricket pitch- in the middle of the Irene properties), which teems with community activities, like dog walking and pinics, on a Sunday afternoon. 

To live in this area is best described as living on a farm in the middle of the city! In other words....this is the place where every body wants to be! Contact us today regarding your interest in Irene property for sale.
