ECO ESTATE:ALL PLOTS HAVE AN OCEAN VIEW
Gated Village planned for Suikerbossie The first gated village in the sought-after area of Suikerbossie in Gordon’s Bay has entered the market. “For many years, buyers in Gordon’s Bay have desired a secure estate in this prestigious area,” says Peter Venter of Peter Venter Estates. “We are very proud to introduce this unique investment opportunity.” Morgan’s Ridge Eco Estate borders the world heritage Kogelberg Biosphere and nine plots, starting at R1 million a piece, are available in the estate. “At these very competitive prices, we expect sales to be brisk,” says Venter. The plots, all north facing, vary in size from 505 m² to 771 m². Careful layout planning, with low density, guarantees ocean views from every home. “Within the architectural guidelines, investors can design and build their dream home, and although the plots are situated against the slope of the mountain, construction on one level will be possible.” More than 50% of the 1,4 hectares of the estate will be preserved in its pristine Fynbos habitat. Venter says a red data list species was found on the property, which further encouraged the low density of the development. “No construction will take place where the red data species are growing.” He says residents of the Morgan’s Ridge Eco Estate will have access to the mountain and through the rest of the estate via footpaths. Buyers are also encouraged to cultivate indigenous Fynbos gardens to create continuity in the estate and add to the comfort of a lock-up and go home, due to the minimal maintenance. “No penalties will be charged for not building within a limited period, making this an excellent investment. Morgan’s Ridge Eco Estate is ideal for the investor who demands good security and lock-up and go, in the best location.”
The Gordon's Bay mountainside is home to the new Morgan’s Ridge Eco Estate.
