Bougainvillea Estate, Pretoria

Bougainvillea Estate at a glance

Bougainvillea Estate, located in Montana Tuine, is considered the perfect residential environment attracting a varied blend of homeowners.  As is typical with the more modern estate developments, the benefits of this lifestyle choice are endless - most notably the fact that they are mostly designed to offer greater privacy, a natural setting with surrounding tranquillity, less traffic and restricted public access, ultimately ensuring greater security.  This makes it the perfect choice for both older, retired persons as well as the younger lock-up-and-go resident or families with children looking for a safe and secure environment to move around in. 

Bougainvilla Estate ticks all these boxes and was one of the first residential security estates to be developed, with mostly upmarket styled houses, in the Montana Tuine area. The estate was proclaimed in 1998 as a full title development comprising 344 landowners.

Within the Bougainvilla Estate, residents can enjoy a park with braai facilities, a swimming pool and tennis court, children's playing areas and a club house which is available for functions and special occasions.

It is worth noting that the estate offers 24-hour access control, visible security patrols, digital surveillance and other state of the art systems allowing residents the freedom to enjoy a safe and relaxed environment.

CLIMATE:

With the Magaliesberg Mountain range on its doorstep, Montana Tuine enjoys a certain amount of protection as well as some of the warmer temperatures found within the greater Pretoria North.   It also has the advantage of a sub-tropical climate which allows for almost year-round natural growth including mostly lowveld grasses and trees such as the beautiful Acacia.  In addition, gardens are so much easier to cultivate and keep going with such a temperate climate.

Summer days can be particularly hot but afternoon showers are the norm bringing evening temperatures down a little.  Summer rainfall usually takes place between October and February while the winter months of, especially, July and August can be quite a bit drier.  Winter mornings can be cold bringing with it the possibility of frost on the odd occasion, but as is typical in Tshwane, winter days become warmer toward the late morning and afternoons.  This subtropical vegetation eases into lowveld even bushveld vegetation, and eventually leads to the Limpopo Province.
