Property for sale in Irene
Private Sale has property for sale in Irene, Gauteng including houses, townhouses, flats, commercial properties and offices to let and for sale in Irene.
Irene is situated south of Pretoria in the Gauteng province of South Africa next to the R21 and N1 highways. Irene is part of Centurion and was incorporated into the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality in 2000. Irene has experienced an increase in property development in recent years.
The earliest historical writings of the period record that the Bakwena tribe lived in the Irene area in the early 1800s. When Mzilikazi came to the area in 1825, he killed many of the Bakwena people and drove the rest away. One of the Boer Voortrekkers, Daniel Elardus Erasmus, who left the Cape Colony in the 1830s to seek economic and political independence in the hinterland, settled in the Irene area on a farm that became known as Doornkloof. Doornkloof became known as the "kerkplaas" of the district. When Daniel died in 1875 he left the farm to his three sons. Fourteen years later Alois Hugo Nellmapius bought two thirds of the Doornkloof farm. Nellmapius often entertained in a grand style on the farm and a frequent guest was Transvaal president, Paul Kruger.
Irene was first proclaimed a township in 1902 by Johannes Albertus van der Byl who bought the Irene Estate in 1896. The Doornkloof farm had been renamed Irene Estate by Nellmapius after his daughter Irene. Bertie was first in the line of the Irene-born van der Byls who are now in their fifth generation. The family have been responsible for building up the herd of dairy cows on the farm, as well as planting many hundreds of trees, at a time long before environmental consciousness.
Irene was the site of one of the Burgher refugee camps or Concentration camps where the British housed the Boer women and children, whose homes had been destroyed in the Second Boer War to house Boer women and children.
