Wakefield Gardens Introduction

Situated amongst the most scenic suburbs of Islamabad, Wakefield Gardens were established at Khanpur by G.E.C Wakefield, C.I.E, O.B.E. in the early twentieth century. In his book titled "Recollections" Mr. Wakefield refers to his orchards as follows: In 1931, I was staying in Rawalpindi preparatory to retirement when I was roped in by the military authorities to supply fruits and vegetables to the troops of the Northern Command. I then set up a citrus farm importing all the orange and the grapefruit trees from Florida, California, South Africa and Australia. It has been hard work but pleasant and free from intrigue and i am glad to say that it has become a huge success and produces the finest oranges and grapefruits in India. Mr. Wakefield then describes his orchards in the following words: The Kiss of the sun for pardon, The songs of the birds for mirth, You are nearer God's earth in a garden, Then anywhere else on earth. The historic orchard was later acquired by the late Nawab of Amb. It has now been acquired by Minawa Construction and it is proposed to afford an opportunity to our valued clients to own your Orchard/farm in the lush green Khanpur valley.

The Project has been conceived and designed for absolute luxury living in a pollution free exclusive environment just along the periphery of Capital, Islamabad. If you were to draw a circle around, Islamabad, it will become evident that there is no match to the Khanpur orchards anywhere in the vicinity of Islamabad. A small villa, cottage or a chalet at an additional cost will mean exclusive living at the doorstep of Islamabad.
