farm, 26 ha With Berg River frontage and surrounded by breathtaking mountains, this 26 ha piece of land is 10 minutes drive from the buzzing tourist attraction of an exclusive private school. The farm is listed on the Berg River irrigation scheme for which 17 ha is available to irrigate the 5 ha Sauvignon Blanc and 2 ha Riesling vineyards, the 6 ha plum, the 2 ha pear and 2 ha lemon orchards. An additional water source is the mountain stream that runs through the farm. Buildings consist of an impressive 3 bedroom homestead with a swimming pool, a 3 bedroom managers house, a 2 bedroom house as well as a 1 bedroom flat. Another free standing bulding is now being used as a part time restaurant (with liquor license) but could be utilised in many ways by the entrepreneur with initiative. A certain pertion (with less agricultural value) of the farm can be regarded as suitable for some sort of development. There are 2 sheds as well as 4 labourer cottages on the property. Apart from the mentioned buildings and ample water, the fantastic location of this farm can not be overlooked and should be regarded as a real strength. Franschhoek Background Information : Franschhoek (meaning “French Corner”) has deep roots running back to the French Huguenots who planted themselves and their vineyards here in the late 17th century. Most of the old farmsteads (a few originals dating back to the 1600s) still bear French names. In 1984 that the Vignerons de Franschhoek was founded - home to around 30 wine farms which include some of South Africa’s most respected names, including Bellingham, Boschendal, Cabriere, Graham Beck, La Motte and L’Ormarins, to name but a few. The first cars arrived in 1910, the first telephone 1911. Electricity came in 1934. In 1938 the Huguenot Memorial was erected to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the arrival of the Huguenots and in 1992 the election of Mr Frank Arendse proclaimed the first non-white mayor in South Africa. However, for a true sense of local history, a visit to the Huguenot Memorial Museum is recommended. The ancestry of many famous South Africans is evident here: FW de Klerk, Beyers Naude, Charlize Theron etc. Property Background Information : Ten years ago it was still pretty much ‘Sleepy Hollow’ territory; a real get-away-from-it-all where you could pick up a cottage at around R200 000 and enjoy a true country lifestyle within a 45 minute drive of Cape Town. Property prices began to escalate about 1996, at the same time that tourism started to take off in South Africa; the rand was at an all-time low against foreign currencies, and Franschhoek had become a sought-after destination for both food and wine. And so the visitors came, “they saw, they ate, drank, fell in love and many bought property”. It’s become a place to live rather than just for a holiday. The quality of property has also improved markedly, in that old houses have been restored, new buildings complement the architectural style of the valley and are strictly monitored by a very active aesthetics committee. In South African “countryside” terms Franschhoek is expensive….. with stands selling from R750 000, and apartments from R780 000. Houses start from R1.85-million for a semi-detached house (two bedrooms with a studio apartment and double garage). In the medium range, you’ll find a home for between R2.5- to R5-million – and the top end is represented by smallholdings starting at R4.5-million.’ Franschhoek property sales totalled R176.2m for the period June 2005 to May 2006, with prices averaging R2.862m – generally 5.5 per cent lower than the average listing price. Properties in the area that had been priced in the region of under R300 000 – 10 years ago – could now easily sell in excess of R10-million. Today there is nothing free-standing available under R2.5-million – regarded as the entry level mark, and for this you could get a two-bedroom house in good condition close to the town centre. From R3.2m to about R4.5m you will have a wider variety of properties to choose from. The upper market varies from R5m upwards and includes what you would call Gentlemen’s Estates. While it is still possible to buy a small two-bedroom apartment (of approximately 60m2) from R750 000, these are few and far between. There are also a number of new developments, but these have largely occurred on the municipal boundaries of the village – former agricultural land that has been re-zoned and sub-divided. Franschhoek has managed to retain its village ambience by enfolding most of the development rather than being engulfed by it: It’s a very difficult balancing act….but the aesthetics committee performs a very valuable function, as does the Franschhoek Trust, in keeping the soul of the village intact. Regarding development in the area, the Stellenbosch municipality is actively focused on protecting the character and appeal of Franschhoek by ring-fencing the town, and agreeing that there will be no further major developments in Franschhoek. Lifetyle : With the demand for homes came the demand for a lifestyle: restaurants, art galleries, specialist retail and coffee bars mushroomed. The sleepy hollow had become hallowed space for residents seeking the best of both worlds. Franschhoek now plays home to a contingent of "swallows" who own property and enjoy only the summer months in the valley. The village is abuzz with many new locals and tourists, and traffic and parking can be a problem. During the past five years there has been a huge influx of foreign buyers – mostly European – but in the last two years, the emphasis has shifted with a lot more South Africans buying; retirees and even businesspeople whom commute on a weekly basis to Johannesburg. They all are looking for a better, more relaxing lifestyle to what the city has to offer and Franschhoek fits the bill. Affluent families are tired of hiding behind electric fences and dealing with traffic that leaves you demented. Franschhoek is not without crime or problems - but it certainly has a lot less compared to what metropolitan areas have to deal with Acting on the need for a private school in the valley, the highly acclaimed Bridge House Independent School was established, opening up the valley to investors who would otherwise not necessarily have considered it. The demographics naturally changed to accommodate the ever-increasing demand. Apart from living among the vineyards, the region is also popular with golfers looking to buy in estates; for example, Pearl Valley Signature Gold Estate and Spa offers a variety of premium property opportunities including golf lodges, houses and residential erven. At Boschemeer Golf and Country Estate only 30ha of a 140ha site have been set aside for low density development. Restaurants : Franschhoek boasts eight of South Africa’s ‘Top 100’ restaurants, which has earned it the title of the gastronomic capital of South Africa. Twenty-five per cent of the five-star chefs in the country live here - including Reuben Riffel who achieved top honours in the 2005 Eat Out Johnnie Walker Restaurant Awards for both Chef of the Year as well as Restaurant of the Year. Further Eat Out Johnnie Walker award winners include Five-Star Chefs Matthew Gordon (Haute Cabrière, The French Connection and Piccata); Margot Janse (seen top left, of Le Quartier Français, The Tasting Room and iCi); and Vanie Padayachee (Grande Provence Estate – The Restaurant); and Lifetime Award achiever Topsi Venter (Topsi & Co).

detached house Zwartkop Duplex for sale...you can't help but fall in love. 2 Bedrooms, 1 bathroom and garage. Lounge, kitchen and patio with built in braai. Paved garden and sprinklers. Security lights and security gate. Background Information about Centurion : Introduction : The combination of a "country" atmosphere and excellent access to highways leading to Pretoria and Johannesburg continues to attract both homebuyers and property investors to Centurion, transforming it into one of the fastest growing areas in the country & including between 20 to 30 suburbs. Centurion’s boundaries are a bit unclear but loosely it extends from Midrand in the south to (and including) Valhalla in the north and extends from (and including) Hennopsrivier in the west to the R21 (and to the OR Tambo International Airport) in the east. Property Market : The Centurion property market offers a healthy mixture of different priced homes, ranging from basic, entry level units to luxury, top-end family homes. Entry level townhouses are priced from R460 000 and entry level freestanding homes are priced at around R900 000. Mid-level townhouses are priced at around R680 000, while mid-level prices for freestanding homes range between R1m and R1,3m. Upper-level townhouses start at R1m and top-end freestanding homes sell for around R5m. The most exclusive homes are in Cornwall Hill where properties are a few hectares in size and start at about the R7-million mark. Townhouses especially are in great demand among owner-buyers and investors alike, but supply is still limited and units that do come on to the market usually sell very fast. Duets also sell well at prices starting at R700 000 although lately there has been a measure of buyers' resistance to properties above the R1,5m mark. Top properties in the area carry price tags of more than R5m. On the whole however the property market do represent good value. Generally, vacant land in Centurion is scarce but there are a number of plots available for purchase on the south western boundary which are priced from R450 000. There is still strong demand for residential property across the full spectrum, but especially in the price range between R500 000 and R1,5m. This is supporting prices despite large-scale development in the area in recent years and the recent market slow-down which is said to be discouraging buy-to-let owners. The buyer profile in Centurion is not only made up of family-oriented purchasers. The number of local investors and speculators in the Centurion property market is only further evidence that there is confidence in the value of properties here. . Buyers are also attracted by the fact that Centurion offers different areas, each with distinct characteristics - and prices to match. The “town” is also self-contained. It has several private schools as well as good English and Afrikaans medium government schools. Several large complexes, such as the Centurion Mall and the Mall at Reds, cater for shoppers while a large new complex near Irene will open soon. Residents also have access to the local Unitas Hospital. Residential development in Centurion is characterised by low-rise sectional title units that contribute to a country feel, which is in particular demand among people working in stressful city environments. What makes the Centurion property market so unique from other areas is the small town ambience that the area has, even though it still offers all of the urban amenities, attractions and central, halfway location to Pretoria and Johannesburg. Centurion is like a little bit of Platteland in an urban area – everyone knows each other and there is a family-oriented, friendly atmosphere. The biggest challenge facing the area is traffic congestion. There is talk of tolling Ben Schoeman, as well as plans afoot to link a new highway to run west between Johannesburg and Pretoria. The Gautrain will also have a station in Centurion and it is hoped that this will help to alleviate traffic congestion in the area.

house Mossel Bay Background Information : Location : Mossel Bay is situated along the Garden Route between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth ± 400km from Cape Town and ± 400km from Port Elizabeth. History : Mossel Bay cultural history dates back to approximately 350 000 years. Bartholomeu Dias anchored in the Bay of St Blaize in 1488. The town exported ostrich feathers, wool and ochre. The Dutch navigator Paulus van Caerden renamed the town Mossel Bay due to the abundance of mussels. The town boast many museums and a life size replica of Bartholomeu Diaz's Caravel ship, that he sailed into Mossel Bay and can be seen at the Diaz Museum. Climate : Mossel Bay is a bustling holiday resort in summer and an ideal retreat in winter - being listed in the Guinness Book of Records as having the second most temperate climate next to Hawaii. The sea temperature is a comfortable 20 to 24 degrees Celsius during the summer months and 13 to 14 degrees in winter. Hartenbos has the longest beach, approximately 5km with two safe swimming areas. Infrastructure : . Mossel Bay is the fastest growing town along the Garden route with a population of ± 70 000. There are two provincial hospitals as well as Bayview private hospital with excellent care facilities. The Mossel Bay harbour is a quiet but active fishing harbour that has been thrown a lifeline with the emerging PETROSA oil industry (Mossgas), which began in the late 1980s. The harbour has two offshore mooring buoys inside port limits, of which one is a marine tanker terminal single point mooring buoy used by feeder vessels from Durban and Cape Town. Commercial Facilities : Mossel Bay also has numerous shopping centre's, restaurants and accommodation. The town has a thriving business center.

Vacant land is commanding premium prices, with a sea-front stand in the upmarket suburb of Bayview recently selling for more than R5 million. The present wave of new residential development is however ensuring that not only the well-heeled are able to enjoy living within easy access of the sea, spectacular views and an enviably low crime rate. While many new developments undoubtedly command hefty price tags, some developers have not lost sight of the affordability limitations of retirees and investors, who tend to shop in the R800 000 price range. New developments (mainly security estates and apartments) in Diaz Beach is coming on to the market from R795 000 to R3,5m. Although initial sales of these properties were rapid, re-sales have slowed as a result of buyers having an abundance of choice. Movement in the re-sale sector is being driven by quality of building work, finishes and the location of the development. The economy of the Mossel Bay area is with the exception of Mossgas, largely driven by tourism. The whole area’s commerce, including real estate, is linked to the seasonal influx of holiday visitors. The property market is therefore much busier during the summer months, although the ratio of winter buying, especially among overseas holiday makers, has picked up steadily in the last 24 months. Although property market activity in the Mossel Bay area is according to local estate agents still “healthy”, sales volumes have nevertheless shown a slight decline from the start of the 2007 due to buyers resisting “exorbitant prices”. The over-riding feeling among buyers, many of whom come from inland, is that properties are overpriced when they consider what they are getting for their money. The result is that these properties are remaining unsold for months. Best value for money is to be found in the area between hilly Hartenbos Heuwels and Hartenbos proper, which overlooks the Hartenbos River mouth, the mountains and the ocean. Jut below Hartenbos Heuwels, buyers – who tend to be holiday home purchasers and investors - can still find townhouses from R800 000, flats from R700 000 and houses or duettes from R1 15m. Best rand-for-rand value is currently available in Rheebok, Fraaiuitsig and Danabaai.

While many new developments undoubtedly command hefty price tags, some developers have not lost sight of the affordability limitations of retirees and investors, who tend to shop in the R800 000 price range. New developments (mainly security estates and apartments) in Diaz Beach is coming on to the market from R795 000 to R3,5m. Although initial sales of these properties were rapid, re-sales have slowed as a result of buyers having an abundance of choice. Movement in the re-sale sector is being driven by quality of building work, finishes and the location of the development. The economy of the Mossel Bay area is with the exception of Mossgas, largely driven by tourism. The whole area’s commerce, including real estate, is linked to the seasonal influx of holiday visitors. The property market is therefore much busier during the summer months, although the ratio of winter buying, especially among overseas holiday makers, has picked up steadily in the last 24 months. Although property market activity in the Mossel Bay area is according to local estate agents still “healthy”, sales volumes have nevertheless shown a slight decline from the start of the 2007 due to buyers resisting “exorbitant prices”. The over-riding feeling among buyers, many of whom come from inland, is that properties are overpriced when they consider what they are getting for their money. The result is that these properties are remaining unsold for months. Best value for money is to be found in the area between hilly Hartenbos Heuwels and Hartenbos proper, which overlooks the Hartenbos River mouth, the mountains and the ocean. Jut below Hartenbos Heuwels, buyers – who tend to be holiday home purchasers and investors - can still find townhouses from R800 000, flats from R700 000 and houses or duettes from R1 15m. Best rand-for-rand value is currently available in Rheebok, Fraaiuitsig and Danabaai. “For the family with flair” Immaculate and modern double storey house in prime environment.
