Stone Ridge Estate is situated in the Monavoni area of Centurion. Centurion is gradually becoming a strategically situated city, closely linked to the Central Business Districts (CBD) of Sandton, Midrand and Pretoria. Stone Ridge Estate, Silver Wood Estate, Silver Stone Estate, Sevilla Estate and Thorn Field Estate are located in the heart of Monavoni and comprise an area of about 600 ha. The Estate also comprises a number of Sectional Title complexes including Silver Edge, Stone Terrace, Almond Place, Stone Garden, Hillstone, Rhine Stone, Villa Rosa Place and San Pablo Place. Schools and an Office Park will eventually be built in the Estate in addition to the clubhouse, Swimming Pool, Tennis Courts, Kids Playpark, Braai facilities and a Green Belt area which have already been completed. The freehold stands range in size from 400sm to 1,000sm whilst the Sectional Title stands vary from 130sm to 200sm. The price of houses ranges from R1, 530,000 to R2, 960,000 (2009) and the price of townhouses from R840, 000 to R950, 000 (2009). Vacant land costs from R375, 000 to R560, 000 (2009). These Estates consist of approximately 300 houses and 1,500 townhouses and are bordered by Lochner Road in the North, the Krugersdorp/Pretoria Road (R114) to the South, Voortrekker Road (R55) to the East and Monavoni Agricultural Holdings to the West.
For this mega development, new exciting generation thinking in mixed-use property planning was used. Mixed use units for both Residential and Commercial property includes small scale convenience shopping facilities solely to provide for the requirements of residents living within the Estate. This concept not only benefits residents and shop owners; it also benefits the environment, sustainability, security and land use planning. The mixed use area will boast ample parking, professional landscaping with indigenous plants and a traditional boulevard that also caters for pedestrians
Stone Ridge Estate is carefully designed to complement the existing crest that signifies the preferred place of residence for many Gauteng residents currently commuting between Pretoria, Midrand, Krugersdorp and Johannesburg. The upgrade of one of the main roads through the area namely the R55 (linking Pretoria West with Sandton) was officially approved by the MEC of Transport, Roads and Works of the Gauteng Provincial Government and is currently in process. The other main road close to Stone Ridge is the existing Krugersdorp (N14) freeway. The K52 (linking Centurion West with Pretoria East) and the PWV9 (which will be a major freeway from Rosslyn to Sandton) are proposed routes that will continue to effectively manage traffic flow through the area
