Lonehill Johannesburg South Africa About Lonehill Introduction
Promotional video for Lonehill, a suburb in Johannesburg North, Gauteng South Africa. Produced by the Lonehill Residents Association. For more info, visit or
The Lonehill Koppie is beautiful - it stands out as a lone koppie on the northern border of the city's suburbs, some 28 kilometres north of the city centre, and is a reminder of what Johannesburg used to look like before it was settled: rocky veld with small streams trickling through it, dotted with shrubs, small trees and knee-high grasses. Guinea fowl and porcupines used to roam the area around the Koppie, and it's now populated with dozens of dassies. There's a small dam, called Lonehill Loch, around 200 metres north of the Koppie, a popular walking spot for local residents.
The Koppie is largely made up of large boulders, called tor rocks, very old rocks, with trees and indigenous shrubs now almost obscuring the rocks except for the very top boulders. The room-size boulders of Lonehill have a special quality to them, their towering height and massive shapes overwhelming one on the short hike to the top.
These days it is surrounded by unattractive townhouse developments, in places right up to its perimeter. It is a plot of around 20 acres, with veld surrounding the koppie, which is around 80 metres high. It is fenced and locked, but unlocked on the weekends, allowing hikers and picnickers to climb to the top, or just lay out a picnic blanket in its surrounding grassy area.
It is an extremely significant site - it has three Stone Age furnaces in the veld below the Koppie. These were excavated in the 1960s by Professor Revil Mason, formerly head of archaeology at Wits University.
The furnaces were covered again by Mason, partly to protect them but partly also because there was no funding to develop the site, which would need a protective structure built around them.
Mason estimates that the furnaces date to around 1600, the same period as the Melville Koppies furnace. Bits of slag have been found near the site of the furnaces, on large flat rocks with indentations in them, obviously used for grinding.
Near the furnace site is another area where pottery was manufactured, fenced like the furnace area.
Half way up the Koppie there's further evidence of these early pastoral people - remnants of stone walls that would have been a kraal and living areas.
In the early 1990s the Lonehill community drew up a plan to build a museum and an Ndebele village just below the Koppie. Nothing came of it as the funds needed would have run into the millions.

27 Boxes (Melville, Johannesburg) | The Table Restaurant | Vlog 37
We have to admit that putting out 2 vlogs a week is not always easy. We know we can't show you lions or rafting every day… So this time you're getting an insight into a normal day in Johannesburg. We found this really cool, hipster neighborhood and went for lunch in a place that opened just a day before we came. If you're in Johannesburg take a walk in Melville and check out 27 boxes and The Table Restaurant.
There's a lot more to come…

House For Sale - Melville, Johannesburg
YES IT IS POSSIBLE !!! ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFULL FOUR BEDROOM HOMES ON THE MARKET IN HISTORIC MELVILLE! A SUPERIOR HOME AT A PERFECT LOCATION WITH A STUNNING INTIMATE VIEW!
This is one of those homes you always dreamed about, perfect in so many ways. The outside with its white and grey color scheme and white roof creates a crisp and fresh look that catches the eye immediately as something special. This home can very easily be divided into two homes to achieve rental income, to accommodate two sets of the same family, to accommodate two lots of people buying together wishing to live separately on one property or to use one side as Airbnb to generate a good income. You enter through an outside passage that leads you on an adventure of discovering what this stunning home has to offer. Enter into the open plan double lounge with an art studio where the owner creates the most beautiful paintings. This corner can of course also be used for whatever your needs may be such as a home office. The formal lounge has an airy feel with white exposed wooden trusses and two double doors that open onto a stunning manicured garden and offers a jet master wood burning fireplace for romantic cozy winter nights. Off the formal lounge one finds a covered patio with built-in braai ready for intimate family occasions or big celebrations. A sexy separate pool lounge, with canvas fronting to close it up in cold weather, looks onto the splash pool and tranquil landscaped garden. From the formal lounge a wooden staircase leads up to a private guest suite that offers a beautiful bedroom and en-suite bathroom all with a balcony to relax to a stunning view over the Melville Koppies. This private suite is used by the current owners as an Airbnb facility. The formal lounge leads one down a few stairs to what currently is used as a massive dining room from which the owners run a bespoke home conferencing venue but which is enormous and could double up as a family room and dining room if you desire. Open plan to this dining area is a small but intimate kitchen with a very convenient pantry that caters for all your kitchen needs and more than enough storage place. Double doors from this amazing dining and / or family lounge area open onto beautiful private courtyard garden with an intimate paved area perfect for breakfasts or tea parties at a relaxing three tier bubbling fountain looking towards a focal wall water feature and koi pond at the end of a second garden walkway to a neat small grass area suitable for kids to play in this small urban lifestyle garden. The sleeping quarters consist of 2 bedrooms down stairs and a stunning main bedroom upstairs that is apart from the guest suite on the other side of this home. The second and third bedroom share a passage bathroom with a double shower, a vanity and a separate toilet that can be used as a guest cloakroom. The upstairs very spacious master suite with exposed white trusses offers a beautiful en-suite bathroom with double vanities, a stunning oval bath and a lovely shower. The main bedroom also has a balcony that comes with another beautiful view of the Melville Koppies. Just stunning!!! This stunning home was created with love, exceptional detail and creativity offering spaces that flow with ease from one to the other and to all the different areas. The high ceilings with exposed white trusses, lots of double doors and big windows create a light, bright and sunny atmosphere. Three garages, excellent security including a street guard, electric fencing, an alarm system and beams.
Call today to view this exceptional home before it is taken! What an experience it will be!!!
