Web Ref.
ND3
Birnamwood Eco Village is a secure, gated development in Merrivale Heights, Howick, offering 33 freehold vacant land opportunities within a low-density, architecturally controlled estate in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands. This development has been planned for buyers who want space, privacy and modern design standards within a structured estate environment.
With only 35 subdivisions available, Birnamwood Eco Village is intentionally limited in scale. Stand sizes range from approximately 1,000m² to 2,800m², allowing for generous homes, landscaped gardens and clear separation between properties. The layout supports a calm streetscape and open views, while maintaining a sense of community.
The estate follows a modern barn-style architectural theme that blends clean, contemporary lines with natural textures suited to the Midlands setting. All building plans are subject to approval by the Property Owners Association, which oversees architectural standards and environmental guidelines. This ensures visual consistency throughout the estate and helps protect property values over time. Buyers may select from approved design concepts or submit custom plans that align with the estate requirements.
Birnamwood Eco Village has been designed with practical sustainability in mind. Homeowners have the option to incorporate solar energy systems, rainwater harvesting and hybrid or off-grid solutions to reduce reliance on municipal services. Fibre-to-the-home connectivity is available, together with wireless options, making the estate suitable for remote work and modern connected living. Pets are permitted, subject to estate rules.
The development is approved for end-user finance by major banks, assisting qualifying purchasers with bond applications. As a vacant land estate, buyers secure their stand and then build within the prescribed estate timelines and guidelines, giving flexibility while maintaining consistent standards.
Situated in Merrivale Heights, the estate enjoys a central Midlands location. Residents benefit from a peaceful country atmosphere and open green surroundings, while remaining within easy reach of Howick town centre, Hilton and Pietermaritzburg. Access to the N3 is straightforward, making commuting practical. Schools, shopping facilities and essential services are all within convenient driving distance.
Birnamwood Eco Village offers more than just vacant land. It provides a clear framework to build a home that reflects your lifestyle within a secure, estate-managed environment designed for long-term appeal in Merrivale Heights, Howick.
