FULL OWNERSHIP AT DE PLATTEKLOOF ESTATE

Ticks all the right boxes for a luxurious retirement lifestyle

DE PLATTEKLOOF Lifestyle Estate is located in the most exclusive suburb in the Cape’s Northern Suburbs and offers a five-star lifestyle for the over-fifties.

De Plattekloof is celebrating its fifth birthday and is close to completion, with only a few of its full title ownership opportunities available.

These include Independent Living Apartments, Assisted Living Apartments and Independent Homes.

Three of the Independent Living Apartment options –Bloemendal, Lebenstijn, and Diemerskuijl – are sold out and complete.

Launched in the fourth quarter of 2022, De Hoogekraal is under construction and 60% is sold out. It is set for delivery in the first quarter of next year, and offers one- and two-bedroom Independent Living Apartments priced from R2.387 million (including transfer duty and a parking bay).

De Hoogekraal has an excellent setting within the estate, fronting and overlooking The Manor House Garden.

The Tijgerzicht Assisted Living Apartments are complete, with 75% of them sold. The remaining available 27 units include studio and one- and two-bedroom suites priced from R1.406m (including transfer duty).

Forty-five modern and spacious two- and three-bedroom Independent Homes have been constructed and released to market, with only 22 homes still for sale. These are priced from R4.995m (including transfer duty) and are the perfect choice for retirees who are self-sufficient and wish to continue living an expansive and luxurious lifestyle.

Phase 1 of The Manor House Garden is also complete. It includes an outdoor recreational area, covered seating, a bowling green and numerous trees, forming a centralised green zone within the estate where residents can enjoy the facilities or simply relax and take in the views and peaceful gardens.

De Plattekloof Lifestyle Estate is a full-ownership, sectional title development, which means that you own the property and benefit from its future capital growth. This is different from life rights schemes, where units are merely “sold” to you for the remaining years of your life.

Johan Laubscher, from Arun Holdings (Pty) Ltd which partnered with Old Mutual Alternative Investments on the estate, explains: “Calculated over a 10-year period, this capital growth on your fully owned property at De Plattekloof could entail a significant component that could be added to your estate. It could also be kept as an investment by your children and be rented out, again, unlike with life rights schemes. In this way, it continues to create generational wealth, which can be carried forward.”

The estate has a first-class Care Centre on site, which is housed in Tijgerzicht and is complete.

Laubscher adds that De Plattekloof Lifestyle Estate is one of the “few lifestyle-orientated retirement schemes in the Western Cape that makes provision for age-appropriate care” with its Assisted Living Units and Care Centre, which is run by Medwell SA.

Situated adjacent to Baronetcy Estate and sharing the same developer, De Plattekloof offers proximity to the city. It is within 10 minutes’ drive of Panorama Mediclinic with its world-class facilities, and offers comprehensive, state-of-the-art security.

The elevated position of the estate means that many apartments and homes offer iconic, panoramic views of Table Mountain, Table Bay and Robben Island.

Other amenities that residents enjoy include a restaurant, lounge and bar, braai and function facilities, a coffee shop, library, hair and beauty salon, a soon-to-be-completed heated pool and treatment room and future clubhouse.

Activities range from a bridge club, music club and choir to a reading club and cinema and theatre nights.
