About

Frankfort is a small farming community situated on the beautiful banks of the Wilge River in the Eastern Free State province of South Africa. The town was laid out in 1869 on the farm Roodepoort, and named Frankfurt (after Frankfurt-am-Main in Germany) by Albert van Gordon. The town later received municipality status in 1896.  Frankfort is now the capital town to Villiers, Cornelia and Tweeling, called the Mafube Municipality. 



Frankfort is the gateway to places like Clarens, the Drakenberge and approximately a 90 minute drive from Johannesburg. The Estate forms part of a beautiful community that offers a wide variety of shops, beauty salons, restaurants (one of which is only walking distance from the Estate) and a well-established school environment.  It is also a very popular weekend destination for people to escape from city life in Gauteng.

The Estate is situated on probably one of the most beautiful spots in and around the town.  Situated on the banks of the Wilge River, surrounded by hundred year old weeping willows, this unique and exclusive estate, not only offers owners a quiet and tranquil living environment, but is also very focused on the security and safety of its residents.  

The Estate will make use of 24 hour security, a 3 meter high boundary wall, separating the estate off to ensure the upmost safety.  The Estate will also make use of security beams on the river side of the Estate, which secures the estate even more.
