Local tips for Brits
Most asked for in Brits: farm staff housing, dam-side timber cabins and backyard rental rooms. Where the yards and builders are: yards in Brits and around Hartbeespoort, with many more in Pretoria. A useful tip: ask whether your estate allows timber, and for a delivered price up the slope.
Here homeowners lead the requests, typically for a compact home or backyard unit for one or two, with a loft bed. Plan for the weather: hot summers with hail and lightning; dry winters with sharp frost in the valleys.
On the ground in Brits
Around Hartbeespoort and Schoemansville, log homes and wooden houses suit the mountain views, but estate rules may limit timber, so ask for the guidelines first. Farms along the Crocodile River ask about nutec houses and container homes for managers. In Brits town, owners add a wendy house for storage or a modular unit for family. Ask for good roof insulation against summer heat.
Sizes run usually about 15 to 30 m². Before you agree to anything: council plans for a fixed home.
Brits: the ground, the weather and the yards
Between the irrigation farms along the Crocodile River and the weekend homes at Hartbeespoort Dam, Brits has a wide range of prefab needs. Farms want staff housing, stores and offices; factories in the industrial area want site offices and canteens; landlords in Letlhabile, Mothutlung and Oukasie add backyard rooms for workers. Around Schoemansville and the dam, owners ask for timber cabins, wendy houses and granny flats, but many estates there have rules on materials and roof colours, so check before you order. Plots on the Magaliesberg slopes can be rocky and steep. Summer brings heat, hail and lightning. Suppliers come from local yards or the short drive from Pretoria, and council plans are needed for living space.
