Relaxed country living in the city! Fish Eagle View, Modderfontein

Enjoy the best of both worlds, with relaxed country living in the city! This second-floor one-bedroom apartment is located in Modderfontein’s Fish Eagle View estate, featuring high ceilings, a fully-fitted kitchen (dishwasher, washing machine and fridge/freezer) and an open-plan living/dining room opening onto a Juliet balcony. Fish Eagle View is adjacent to the 265-hectare Modderfontein Reserve, Gauteng's second-largest private park, where you can enjoy cycling, hiking fishing, birdwatching, picnicking -- and more -- in a well-managed and secure nature reserve that is, quite literally, on your doorstep.

Fish Eagle View also offers a gym, clubhouse, restaurant, tuck-shop, management office, braai/picnic area, and swimming pool in a secure, access-controlled estate offering 24-hour security and a control-access gatehouse. Modderfontein offers the best of small-town vibes and the convenience of big city offerings: it’s a quiet and relaxed area with lots of green open spaces, a charming historical village (home to restaurants and a bakery, a dynamite museum, gin distillery, and interesting studios and shops). Plus, there’s the famous Fourways Farmers Market, a private hospital, schools, and shopping – and all within 5-10 minutes’ drive (Flamingo Shopping Centre is just a few kilometres away, featuring a Woolies Food, new-gen Checkers, Starbucks, Dis-Chem and a half-dozen owner-run eateries).

This lock-up-and-go apartment would suit singles or couples, first-time buyers, down-scalers, investors, frequent travellers, or Jozi newcomers looking for a ‘softer’ or ‘gentler’ side to full-throttle Joburg. The perfectly positioned Fish Eagle View offers quick access to Sandton (via Marlboro Drive) and the eastern suburbs, with the N3 freeway just a few robots away – you’ll enjoy the best of city and country living, combined.
