The land in and around the estate has been restored
over the years to its natural bushveld habitat to accommodate
the abundant wildlife. In addition, the new lakes were
built and existing lakes enlarged creating a lush natural
haven. Angling clubs are available to the residents
to access the bass that occupy these lakes.
The golf course is unquestionably a championship layout
with no shortage of water having been designed by Peter
Matkovich and trademarked with his exclusive water design
features. The manicured practice facilities offer a
generous tee area, chipping green, practice bunker and
target greens.
A 12 00sqm USGA spec putting green, adjacent to the
lake surrounding the 9th and 18th greens, is a tranquil
setting for the perfect practice session.
Silver Lakes has an abundance of wildlife with a large
variety of Water Fowl, Plovers, Kingfishers and Herons.
Rare bird species such as the African Spoonbills, Purple
Gallinules and the magnificent Fish Eagle also inhabit
the estate.
The surrounding grasslands and golf course ensure that
grassland birds such as Whydas, Widows, Larks and Grass
Owls are easily seen in a relatively small area.
The Mongoose, Cape Clawless Otter, as well as a large
variety of frogs including the aggressive Giant African
Bullfrog are also residents - adding to the variety
and excitement of wildlife that can be seen on the estate.
Not to mention the wide variety of insect life!
All Silver Lakes residents and visitors have unlimited
exposure to this natural environment, which is accessible
via a network of paved pathways throughout the estate,
golf course and the bushveld. The Silver Lakes residents,
golfers and visitors are now accustomed to the array
of golfers, visitors, joggers, cyclists, children and
walkers who fill the estate's pathways throughout the
year! |
