This creates a sense of privacy that is off set by the feeling of being part of a working farm. A veritable paradise for sports enthusiasts of every degree, the estate offers mountain biking, all manner of water sports, fly fishing and bass fishing, equestrian sport and almost every other kind of activity that you can do on two legs. Elgin & Surrounds "Valley of a thousand pleasures..." Over the mountain and far away, yet near enough to reach Cape Town International Airport within 30 minutes, Elgin and surrounds is a world of peaceful farm dams, majestic mountains and fragrant orchards and vineyards. Sir Lowry's Pass offers spectacular views over False Bay, and the scenic N2 highway sweeps down into our valley, winding through the forests and the historic Houw Hoek Pass. This fertile valley has been sought after since long before the first formal road was built in 1830, with the first farmers trekking over the hazardous mountains by ox wagon to stake their claims in this then remote valley. Today the region is world famous for its fruit trees, cool-climate wines and roses and it is an integral part of the Four Passes Fruit Route. Elgin offers healthy natural entertainment for every taste: private game reserves, nature walks, birding, 4x4 routes, quad-biking, mountain-biking, waterskiing, motorised water sports, bass and trout fishing, abseiling, kloofing, hiking, canoeing and team-building and its associated activities. A variety of sports facilities, such as golf, rowing, fly-fishing, cricket, rugby, soccer, bowls, tennis and squash entice the visitor to enjoy every day in our green valley. An important social upliftment program, run by the DBSA, is being implemented in nearby Grabouw. This makes the region one of the leaders in applying a holistic approach to development.

Future growth points in the Strand property market is the so-called AECI development node across from the Somerset Mall.

George is the sixth oldest town in South Africa - the first founded under British rule - and was named after the reigning monarch in 1811, King George III. The Outeniqua forests were the reason the Dutch East India Company, in 1776, established a woodcutters outpost on the site of what became George in 1811. It was declared a drostdy by the Earl of Caledon on 23 April 1811. George gained municipal status in 1837. George is just inland from Victoria Bay on the N2 on the Cape Garden Route. The Heart of the Garden Route and capital of the Southern Cape, George is the ideal hub from which to explore the diverse scenery and natural wonders of its surrounding areas. George is located in the Cape Wildflower Floral Kingdom next to the coast at the eastern end of the Western Cape Province and has a low rainfall Mediterranean type climate with activities to keep you busy all year round. We probably have the largest number of bed-nights accommodation available in this holiday paradise with its large conference facilities and many tourist attractions.

house Stylish grandeur from the past This neat and modernized home with oregon floors have 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, formal sitting- diningroom, openplan kitchen and family room, spacious flatlet with utility room or offices for a business from home. Price: R1 270 000.00 Background Information Oudtshoorn: Property Market: Most of the property enquiries come from people who are established professionally in George but who are selling up there with a view to commuting. Most still commute. But the commercial sector is picking up as the town is growing rapidly. There’s definitely scope in Oudtshoorn for young people and families looking to relocate – and there are no burglar bars on the houses. Even though salaries might on average be lower than elsewhere because it’s a small town, the cost of living is not high. The general profile of property buyers is that of people opting for a lifestyle change and financial scaling down, rather than capital gain. Some properties in the sought-after Wesbank area are still zoned as agricultural. Riverside properties here front municipal land, which property owners often rent cheaply for extra space to raise ostriches, horses, chickens... or goats. Oudtshoorn is unique in that you can have a farm in town - but they are not “plots.” They are more like “Gentleman’s Estates.” In the older part of town the stands are a little smaller but the houses are Karoo-style sandstone homes with yellowwood floors. The historical integrity of the town has been maintained with buyers of the sandstone homes always restoring them. They are very sought after, so they are very scarce. The town boasts several good schools – some Afrikaans only and some bilingual. Most local publications feature bilingual editorial. There’s also a private hospital – the Klein Karoo Medi-Clinic – as well as a provincial hospital. Oudtshoorn is a short 45 minutes’ drive from George and Wilderness. And although George airport is close by, you could always park your bird at an airstrip in Oudtshoorn itself. History: The town built its fortune on the European fashion industry’s delight in the feathers of a huge, flightless bird found roaming wild in the area. After the collapse of the feather market during World War One, the town eventually became what it is today: the world’s foremost producer ostrich meat - ‘the healthy alternative to beef’ and ‘the Rolls-Royce of leather.’ Oudtshoorn is steeped in colonial history and one of the most notable features of the town is its architecture. Beautiful gothic-style churches were built from the abundant local sandstone, and delicate ‘broekie lace’ adorns the so-called Ostrich Palaces that were the homes of the ostrich barons of the 1900s. General: Situated along the banks of the Grobbelaars River at the foot of the Swartberg Mountains, Oudtshoorn – the ‘ostrich capital of the world’ – sprang up from the midst of a tiny farming community in the late 1800s. Many of the architectural styles in Oudtshoorn are found nowhere else. The sandstone homes have been preserved and restored, imparting a sense of gentility to the town despite the advent of modern shops. Oudtshoorn is deservedly famous for its hospitality. Small-town grace coupled with an unexpected cosmopolitan style make for both warm and interesting locals. The town’s most famous historical resident, CJ Langenhoven (1873?), is often called the Shakespeare of Afrikaans literature. He was a vociferous proponent of Afrikaans culture (he translated Omar Khayyam’s The Rubaiyat into Afrikaans), and today many things in Oudtshoorn are named after him. These days the Karoo dorpie is the venue for the biggest – and arguably the best – arts festival on the South African calendar. The KKNK (Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees, or Little Karoo National Arts Festival) has benefited the town in several ways, apart from the obvious economic benefit from the annual week-long cash injection. Art and culture is exploding in this town due to the exposure to the arts that the KKNK has given locals. The success of the KKNK has changed perceptions of Oudtshoorn, resulting in an increase in general tourism to the town. This provides employment for many of the ‘non-professional’ locals, who make a living from creative use of the by-products of the ostrich industry – mostly eggs and feathers. The Cango Caves continue to dazzle. But where Oudtshoorn was once primarily dependant on the Caves and the ostrich farms to draw tourists, increased interest in the ‘dorpie in the desert’ has created an awareness of the many other attractions of the town and the area. A variety of accommodation, from backpackers’ lodges to five-star game lodges, can be found within five minutes’ drive from the CBD. Quality restaurants and shops abound. There’s plenty to do, from lying in a swimming pool all day, horse riding and hiking to 4x4-ing in the mountains. There’s also a full range of sports facilities. The Cango Wildlife Ranch (on the outskirts of town, one minute from the CBD) has an endangered species breeding facility and hosts the oldest and biggest cheetah contact centre worldwide. A lesser known but enticing aspect of Oudtshoorn is its position as the ‘gateway’ to the R62 Wine Route – the longest wine route in the world. Oudtshoorn itself boasts 17 wineries set amongst the dramatic mountain scenery. (Try the Prins Albert Shiraz.) An important feather in the town’s cap is the fact that the crime levels are very low. It is still very rural and agricultural in character. Climate: It is sunny throughout the year and, as befits the town’s location in the semi-desert, the average maximum temperature in summer is 36.8ºC, although it can easily rise to 45ºC. Temperatures are mild in winter, though it can drop to zero at night – making Oudtshoorn the perfect place to spot the rare nocturnal iced cactus. Oudtshoorn’s water is pure spring water from the Swartberg mountain range. The air is equally pure because the limited water supply makes the area unsuitable for heavy industry.

Strand Background Information : Beachroad Property Market : Properties on Strand’s Beach Road varies between the oldest apartments of +- R600 000 to beachfront penthouses of more than R10 million. One of the biggest property growth points in the Helderberg during the last 3 years has been the choice of new developments on Beach Road. Capital growth in the Strand has during 2008 dropped along with the rest of the country – with buyers taking control of the market. Buyers who bought into the beachfront developments on the expectations of strong capital growth & the chance to speculate, have created a fair number of “willing sellers” during the last 18 months. The surplus of available apartments on Beach during 2007 has according to some sources surpassed the 200 level, suppressing capital growth on Beach Road during the last 2 years. According to CMA Info, there had been 46 sales in Strand Beach Road during the last 12 months – that is about 4 sales per month. This data excludes new developments such as Hibernian Towers, Meridian or Topaz which has not yet been registered. Prices obtained varied between R7 600 / sq.m (Strandsig) to R24 700 / sq.m (Cape Sands). The price structure of Beach Road properties can be roughly categorized in 4 different groups according to “age & finishes”. The average price per square meter runs with some exceptions along with the 4 different complex groups. Beach front apartments were selling in 2003 from about R6000 per sq.m to about R9000 per sq.m. Beachfront property is at present selling from +-R7 600 per sq. to +- R30 000 per square meter. Group 1 : Older than 20 years = R 7600 to R13 500 per sq/m Group 2 : 10 – 20 years = R11 000 to R15 000 per sq/m Group 3 : 3 – 10 years = R11 000 to R22 500 per sq/m Group 4 : New developments = between R18 000 and R30 000 per sq.m - depending on its finishes and the units location in the apartment block. Resales are between R16 000 & R24 700 per sq/m. Group 1 : Selling prices & therefore capital growth achieved do vary greatly with the level or quality of the interior finishes & renovation inside the older complexes – creating a situation where the per sq/m. prices obtained e.g. for the small St Tropez bachelor units is R23 000 per sq.m whilst another “larger & not renovated” unit sold for R12 600 per sq.m. The older not renovated units offers the best value for money as shown in Strandsig where a 74 sq.m apartment + a garage, sold for R680 000 in October 2007. Other units were Helderberg (83sq.m for R699 000) & Cisterama (113 sq.m + garage for R1,025 million). Group 2 : This is probably the most sought after group of complexes – as the complex’s locations generally tend to be in the better spots along Beach Road, whilst it still falls into the affordable price bracket for lifestyle property. Group 3 : This group of complexes offers similar lifestyle & finishes than the new developments – but from a lower price bracket. Group 4 : The oversupply of new developments on Beach Road coupled with the 5% hike in interest rates during the last year, has led to below cost resales in new complexes like Atlantica & Ocean View, fetching between R10 300 to R16 000 per sq/m. Despite this trend, the Hibernian Towers (70% sold out) & Meridian have been selling for up to R30 000 /sq.m – differentiating themselves from the rest of the market due to the additional lifestyle offerings such as boutique shops being added to the mix (Hibernian Towers) or concentrating on the philosophy of going smaller to be more affordable (Meridian).
