Property Developers Opting for Eco-Estates   Mail Print PDF
As the government cracks down on lifestyle developments in concern over their ecological effects, an eco-friendly breed of developer has emerged who is investing and assisting in preservation of wilderness areas

Lifestyle estates, particularly those of a golfing nature, have come into question recently for putting local water resources under pressure and disrupting natural areas within South Africa.
