house, alarm, furnished This exciting property package includes a beautiful 148ha cattle farm and a full resort with 22 chalets, one of South Africa's top caravan parks, a 100-seater restaurant, a wedding chapel, an impressive conference venue, a golf driving range and a shop, strategically located on a main route close to the popular Sunshine Coast holiday town of Port Alfred. The 148ha farm surrounds the 6ha resort property and has an impressive 600 sq m guesthouse that commands a panoramic view over the resort and the ocean, some two kilometres away. The combination of farmland and resort creates the opportunity for further expansion of the resort. The purchaser of this exciting property package will acquire three companies, respectively owning the farm, most of the resort property and the resort operational company. Here follows a brief overview of the companies' assets and income. (More detailed information is available on request to serious prospective buyers): The farm is fully fenced with 11 cattle camps with water and excellent handling facilities. Buildings on this section include a 9m x 6m shed and a 600 sq m guesthouse. Vegetation includes pristine Eastern Cape bushveld. The resort property-owning company earns income from its properties, namely: The Caravan Park: the park has 48 spacious caravan stands on 1.8ha of land. Each stand has its own ablution facilties. The park also has an office, swimming pool, children's playground and two lapas. It has a state of the art self sufficient sewerage system as well as full electrical and water reticulation. The park was recently voted by Outdoor and Caravanning readers as one of the top 20 caravan resorts in the country and carries a 4 star grading. This property is leased to a couple that stays on site in the manager's house which they own. A conference centre complex with a large conference venue, a smaller venue and several breakaway rooms. A 100-seater restaurant. Four chalets, ranging in size from 140 sq m to 262 sq m. (The company also earns rental income from a further 16 privately-owned sectional-titled chalets which are in a rental pool.The resort offers chalet accommodation for 97 guests. All of the chalets are fully-equipped for self catering. A 94 sq m chapel. A workshop, reception centre, adminstration block annd shop. A golf driving range. The operating company manages the day-to-day operations of the resort, including the rental pool, catering, marketing and administration. This company also owns a chalet. Resort occupancies are low in the current poor market but the operation nevertheless returns a modest profit. There is thus great scope to boost occupancy levels and profits. Activities in the area include golf (two superb golf courses), boating, fishing and game viewing. http://www.arkadia.com/iplx-t3019/

terraced house, 280 m² A neat and cozy townhouse with a huge loft! 2 Bedrooms, 1 bathroom. Building Size: 120sqm Stand size: +-280 Open plan kitchen and lounge. 2 carports. Security estate. Spacious Kitchen Background Information Brits Property Market : Brits is since 2006 one of South Africa’s fastest growing towns, mainly due to the mines expanding and its workers needing to purchase a residential property or properties, stands, plots, farms, game farms or various investment properties. While there are buyers aplenty, properties are scarce. This has led to selling prices vaulting up to the point where they are now in line with Absa’s national average of around R900 000. Freestanding properties with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a swimming pool and double garage on 1000sqm in the suburbs of Voeltjiedorp and Boomdorp are now selling for R950 000. At the top end of the market, properties in the Brits area are being bought for as much as R2,5m, predominantly by company directors moving into the area due to its industrial and mining activities. In the older suburb of Central Brits, freestanding houses on 1500sqm have become popular with developers who are demolishing them to make way for blocks of flats. Two years ago, these were entry-level properties that sold for between R500 000 and R700 000. They are now selling for upwards of R750 000 and stock is in short supply Meanwhile, owners of large stands have cottoned on to the area’s widespread demand for accommodation and are building second dwellings on their properties to let. The rental market is booming to the point where they cannot accommodate demand. Currently, the average rental for a standard three bedroom home - most sought after by workers in the mining industry - is R3 800 a month. Future of Property Market : Housing trends in future will reflect a "tale of 2 plattelands", with mineral rich platteland areas and those nearer to the large metros fairing far better than the far-flung towns. As the large metros grow, some of the platteland areas will gradually be partly or fully "absorbed" by the metros. Areas northwest of Pretoria / Tshwane, such as Brits and Hartebeespoort Dam may be good examples. Platteland towns such as Brits which is nearer to the metros have got a lot going for them in future, being able to capitalise on economic activity flowing out from the metros. As they "burst at the seams", cashing in on some urban commuters, as well as the growing metro "getaway" market. The Rustenberg / Brits is benefiting from a commodities boom (especially Platinum), and Eskom is expanding electricity generation capacity around it. As Gauteng runs out of space, and as the existing space becomes more pricey, so new industrial and commercial activity will look for “new places to happen”, which will benefit Brits. General : Brits is a fertile, citrus-producing area irrigated by the waters of the Hartebeespoort Dam. The area is very safe with a good infrastructure including good schools, medical facilities and shopping and entertainment. Improved access to Pretoria, along with the expansion of its mining and industrial sectors, has transformed Brits from a sleepy little town into a residential, investment and holiday destination of choice. Within a radius of 50km, holidaymakers are spoilt for top destination choices, ranging from bushveld game lodges to award-winning resorts. Brits is not only an important agricultural irrigation area, it also has an adjacent industrial growth point, GaRankuwa. However, it’s the area’s ever-expanding mining activities that remain the major draw card for buyers. The biggest platinum mine in the world, Barplats Crocodile River Mine, is situated on the outskirts of the town. There is also the Brits-based Hernic Ferrochrome smelter, which happens to be the world’s fourth-largest ferrochrome producer. 94% of South Africa's platinum comes from the Rustenburg and Brits districts, which together produce more platinum than any other single area in the world. In addition, there is a large vanadium mine in the district. Commuting to work from one province to another every day might sound like a lot of driving, but Brits residents who work in Pretoria are spending far less time on the road than many people who both live and work in Gauteng. Since the construction of the Platinum Highway, it takes 35 minutes to travel from the North West province to Pretoria East. It’s also a relatively quick journey to Pretoria’s industrial suburb of Rosslyn, taking on average just 25 minutes. This, along with Brits’ proximity to some of the country’s most scenic bushveld, has become a draw card for a growing number of end-user and holiday-home buyers as well as a sizeable following of investors. History : Founded in 1924 on the farm Roode Kopjes, it was named after the owner Gert Brits. The First Boer War armistice treaty was signed in 1864 beneath a karee tree just to the south of Brits. A speech by General Hertzog in 1912 at the nearby De Wildt railway station led to the formation of the National Party. Climate : Temperatures in Brits range from 17º to 31º C (62º to 88º F) in the summer and from 3º to 21º C (37º to 70º F) in the winter. Annual rainfall measured on properties in Brits totals about 360mm (approx 14in), with almost all of it falling during the summer months, between October and April. Location : Location is one of Brits greatest natural advantages, especially for its farms and game farms properties as well as new developments offering stands for sale. Brits is located close to the Magaliesberg mountain range, which extends in the northeast about 130km (about 80 miles) from Pretoria to Rustenburg. Brits is also en route to the well known Pilanesberg Game reserve, located in the crater of an extinct volcano that features some of South Africa’s most unique holiday properties. Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, Brits offers an escape route to the real Africa. Destination Direction Route Distance Hartbeespoort southeast R511 21Km Beestekraal northwest R511 36Km Akasia east R566 37Km Assen northwest R511 61Km Rustenburg west R512 65Km Pretoria east R512 52Km Thabazimbi north R511 121km Pilanesberg/Sun City 120km Sporting Facilities : There are five golf courses to choose from and four of them are within 10 minutes drive from each other. The Pecanwood golf estate next to Hartebeespoort Dam is a very high-end development that boasts a Jack Nicklaus signature course. Water sports predominate due to the Hartbeespoort Dam, which offers great boating and yachting as well as canoeing, windsurfing and swimming. Attractions : Atractions include the De Wildt Cheetah Research Centre (specializes in breeding and studying cheetah, king cheetah, brown hyena, suni, blue duiker and wild dogs), Granite Works (the larges diamond saws in the world are used to cut the blocks), Vaalkop Nature Reserve, Le Croc Tours, Rainbow Cultural Village, Margaret Roberts Herbal Centre, Arendsnes Sports Academy and Adventure centre. Brits is also the birthplace of the first cloned animal in Africa, a cow.

South Africa's North West Province is strategically located between Botswana in the west and the economic powerhouse and industrial heartland of Gauteng in the east. The province offers vast mineral resources, a sophisticated tourist industry and agricultural abundance. The province is home to bases for a number of international companies such as BMW, Samsung, Tiger Wheels, Shanghai Video and Audio, Lear Corporation, Kromberg and Schubert, Nestle, HJ Heinz, Hong Kong's Universal Enamelware, Firestone Tyres and Robert Bosch, to name a few. For property In the northern areas, the city of Rustenburg represents the major industrial and residential centre of the North West Province, boasting well developed industrial and mining infrastructures as well as world famous tourist resorts. In the densely populated far eastern areas you will find property in Mabopane, Brits, Ga-Rankuwa and Temba. These towns are residential, agricultural and industrial centres and the economy of the area is closely linked to that of neighbouring Gauteng. The North West Province offers a year round, sunny temperate climate with hot summers and mild winters. This is a summer-rainfall region and the weather is usually dry with a short rainy season from December to March. The hottest months are usually February and March and the coldest, July and August.

other ELGIN COUNTRY ESTATE Elgin Country Estate is the ultimate in luxury country living.

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 kind of activity that you can do on two legs, four legs and two or four wheels. Elgin Country Estate is a green development: a vermiculture worm farm will turn biodegradable waste into compost; solar radiation will supply hot water; indigenous trees and plants will replace alien flora and urban design will be eco friendly e.g. street lights will generate low light pollution with long life bulbs and garden benches will be from recycled material, to name but two features. The overall aesthetic design is to have low visual impact, with buildings in line with local historical design blending in with the environment in style and colour. Low noise maintenance equipment reduces sound pollution with minimal noise disturbance in this peaceful setting, i.e. golf cart type lawn mowers. A permanent on site nursery is planned to facilitate beautification of the estate and surrounds. The management company will appoint and support local BEE companies to supply most of the labour required on the estate, e.g. maid and nanny services, gardeners, security etc. A special feature is the management and concierge service that will be available to residents and guests. The management company will handle all property sales on behalf of the owners, and will in turn appoint or work with agents. The revenue of the management services business will subsidize levies. The concierge service will perform tasks such as taking care of the external bookings of activities.
