UPMARKET SECURITY VILLAGE: GREEN BUILDING PRINCIPLES
Tweespruit, affordable investment Using green building principles, established property developers Combined Developers have officially released their most recent development project to buyers. Aptly named Tweespruit, due to the two streams on the perimeter of the development site, this new up-market security village, situated in the Stellenbosch Winelands, offers exceptional value for money. “We take an active stance towards minimising our ecological footprint and strive to promote the practice of green building and sustainable architecture in the construction industry. Our develop-
ments incorporate economically viable green building practices such as recycling construction refuse, saving of energy through the use of solar geysers or heat pumps and energy efficient lighting. All homes in Tweespruit will be fitted with energy efficient lighting and water saving shower heads without compromising on comfort,” comments Japie de Vos of Combined Developers. Japie continues to say, “We believe that the keystone to a high quality of living is creating a healthy and safe environment for people to live in. With ultra modern finishes such as granite kitchen
tops and state-of-the-art security, Tweespruit Development stays true to our core business vision,” Beautifully designed by Jaco Niemann of renowned Stellenbosch based firm Dennis Moss Architects, the development comprises of 71 freehold plots which will be built in the classic Cape Vernacular style. Buyers can choose either a two or three bedroom option. All homes consist of two bathrooms and a lock-up garage with additional parking for a second vehicle on the property. With access to the estate through the established Nuutgevonden security estate, which serves to en-
hance the security, and situated just 4 km from Stellenbosch Central Business District (CBD) with easy access to the N1, Tweespruit is a development which provides a great investment. Chas Everitt, Stellenbosch have secured the mandate to sell. Elmarie van Huyssteen of Chas Everitt says “I have recently marketed the adjacent development, Nuutgevonden, and the bulk of our purchasers were young professional people buying their first homes.” An average estimated annual return on investment in excess of 9% ensures this development will be attractive for investors in the popu-
lar “Buy to Let” market, who can tap into the substantial demand for accommodation in this town. Elmarie elaborated on the benefit of this: “The marketing starts now, which means that purchasers will be paying the current asking prices, but will only take transfer of their homes at the middle to end of 2016 by which time they will have had the advantage of any increase during this period.” The sales prices of the houses vary between R1,265 million and R1,599 m, ensuring an affordable investment for those who want to attain a lifestyle in one of the country’s most beautiful towns.
