Amanzi Country Estate is set on 1758 hectares and is currently undergoing an Environmental Impact Assessment Process and approval is being sought for the development thereof. Amanzi will be launched shortly thereafter ( hoped to be launched to the public during the third or fourth quarters in 2009 ).

Steeped in history
A mere 30 kilometres, as the “crow flies”, from the CBD of Port Elizabeth lies Amanzi, home to Sir Percy Fitzpatrick, author of the world renowned Jock of the Bushveld.
As the name suggests water is plentiful – “Amanzi” means water. There are five farm dams on the property one of which has a surface area in excess of 4 hectares.
Soon the original Fitzpatrick Homestead, treasured by the Niven Family for generations, will become the Jock Founder’s Club.

The real thing
A true country estate already exists! There are currently citrus orchards that are planted, which will be enhanced and added to by incorporating orchards of olive and pecan nut trees. These will be maintained and manicured to be aesthetically pleasing. In addition an olive press is planned.
Furthermore this is in fact the property where the “Outspan” brand was founded. The original root stock for the citrus industry was grown on this very property. The reason for this was because the property is situated in a valley and it had less wind than other areas.
It is proposed that the erven are developed to compliment existing agricultural activities.

North facing aspect
Amanzi is situated on a strip of land stretching along the northern and southern banks of the Coega River. It is characterized by northerly and southerly facing slopes with views down into the valley.Most incredibly and through sensitive planning, as can be seen from the current possible layout of the development, all of the properties will in fact be situated on the southern side of the river and will therefore face north! The northern side of the river will be left undeveloped to allow for not only aesthetically pleasing views of the indigenous bush, but also protection thereof, and it is further hoped that it will eventually form part of the proposed corridor from the Baviaanskloof & Groendal Mountain Range and Addo National Park.
