Lalela Estate Redefines Community Living With Nostalgic Neighbourhood Values

Nestled in the picturesque coastal town of Sheffield Beach north of Ballito, Lalela Estate is reshaping the concept of community living by embracing nostalgia and family values. This exceptional residential development captures the essence of neighbourhood living, fostering a sense of belonging and close-knit connections. Lalela Estate offers an idyllic community-centric environment with design, lifestyle, and amenities reminiscent of a quintessential neighbourhood, all at an astonishingly affordable price point.

Collins Residential – the developers of Emberton Estate – have brought their expertise to the North Coast with their latest project. Drawing on their wealth of experience in the region, Collins Residential is set to deliver another exceptional development that promises to exceed expectations.

Geoff Perkins, Head of Residential Projects at Collins Residential, says, “Lalela Estate is the perfect fusion of a traditional estate and an authentic neighbourhood experience. By implementing ‘lane architecture’ and cul-de-sacs, the development enables small communities to thrive within the greater estate, promoting a strong sense of connection while ensuring privacy and security.

Living at Lalela means being part of a vibrant neighbourhood where life revolves around family and friends.”

Residents can enjoy a wide range of activities, including walking and running trails, as well as access to a clubhouse with amenities such as a kids’ club, family pool, braai area, tennis courts, cricket nets, putt-putt, and a skate park. The adjacent Manor House Venue – with its iconic white gables – stands as a beloved centrepiece in the community and an extension of the amenities on offer to the residents of Lalela. It serves as the focal point for hosting a variety of significant community events, including bespoke dinner clubs, markets, festivals, and concerts. The venue has been the proud host of events such as ZA Fest headlined by the world-renowned Ndlovu Youth Choir, and the Jeremy Loops concert. With its rich history and versatile spaces, the Manor House Venue continues to be the go-to hub for bringing the community together in celebration and entertainment.

Lalela Estate, with its lush green hills, expansive wetlands, and coastal forests, strikes a perfect balance between sustainability and development, with about 50% of the estate dedicated to green spaces. Geoff adds, “There is an increase in demand for secure estates that prioritise sustainability and environmental consciousness. Lalela Estate addresses this demand by incorporating biodiversity into its development, ensuring ample green spaces and a low environmental footprint.

Sustainability is a core value of the development team, and each freestanding home is equipped with a rainwater harvesting tank, gas geyser, gas hob, and all units are inverter-ready for emergency back-up electricity during power outages.”

Residents can choose from five customdesigned, single-storey architectural home designs, each featuring a private garden. With prices starting at just R2 295 000, Lalela offers an incredible opportunity to own a home without the burden of transfer duty or conveyancing fees, and only a R50 000 deposit fee is required.
