Tired of the hustle and buzzle of city life? Thinking of retiring?
Chrissies – as it is affectionately referred to by locals –is the place to get away from it all and the friendly locals will make sure you want to stay forever.
Known as the Matotoland Lake District, Chrissiesmeer has two large freshwater lakes and over 320 pans that are inhabited by 82 water bird species and more than 100 other species. This peaceful, countryside town in Mpumalanga’s grasslands and wetlands region is a birder's paradise. The circular, 60km self-drive birding route winds its way along the wetlands .Chrissiesmeer is also home to three crane species – Blue, Grey Crowned, and Wattled crane. In the late summer thousands of lesser Flamingoes stop over here, one year we counted 18 000 Flamingo chics on
Blinkpan.
Lake Chrissie, after which the town is named, is the largest freshwater lake in South Africa measuring 7km in length and 3km in width. The grasslands and wetlands region also attracts various frog and butterfly species, and the lakeside village hosts an annual Frog Festival each December and a Wild Flower Festival each January that see visitors coming back year after year, not only for the flora and fauna but for the warm-hearted hospitality too. Due to its relative isolation from big cities and its small size – it's an ideal place for stargazing and taking long exposure photographs of the Milky Way.
The1045 sqm stand is level and situated close to the lake, ideal for building your retirement dream.
Don't hesitate, make this quaint little town your home.
