Detached house, sale, zwartkop, gauteng

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.

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. Centurion was designed and planned for people to live in. The city offers a total of 40 schools for children of all ages and there are no less than six universities within 25 minutes from the city centre. An abundance of sports and recreational facilities include cricket, rugby, tennis, canoeing, karate, judo and road running. Supersport Park is the home of the Northern Titan's Cricket Team. The central business district is built around a man-made lake with its well-known musical fountain. Apart from Centurion's ideal geographic location, the city also offers an outstanding transport infrastructure. Three of the country's major highways cut through the municipal area, namely the Johannesburg-Pretoria, Krugersdorp-Pietersburg and Pretoria-Johannesburg Airport highways and it is a mere twenty minutes to the airport.

House, sale, riebeek kasteel, western cape

house Over a century old house on a corner plot in the beautiful Riebeek Kasteel in the Swartland. Zoned for business or residential, it can be changed to the best buy in that area. Oregon Pine window and door frames to give the charm of a area gone by. With a loft the same size as the house, this is a must see and renovate to see and get back the old way of life. Features : Interior Features : Fireplace, Ceiling Fan, Carpeted Floors Lot Features : Lawn, Swimming Pool, Trees / Shrubs, Corner Lot, Fenced Yard, Garden Area Exterior Finish : Brick Extra Features : Covered Parking. Background Information : Riebeek Kasteel & Riebeek West (The Riebeek Valley) Introduction : The valley and its twin towns, Riebeek Kasteel and Riebeek West, lie an hour northeast of Cape Town. The Riebeek Valley has to be one of the most picturesque spots in the Swartland. As Cape Town traffic has faded, you leave the N7 at Malmesbury. The Kasteelberg rises before you like a stone fortress. Drive over Bothmanskloof Pass, and there it is... Lifestyle : The valley became known for its eccentric artists, alternative lifestylers and genial locals. While village gossip and the ravaging summer heat are downsides, the balance of the year is great. It’s so beautiful, there’s very little crime, and the community spirit is excellent. Riebeek Kasteel is the more elegant town, with a Eurocentric square surrounded by shops and restaurants. Yet Riebeek West has its own draw cards – large Victorian houses, and more peace and quiet. The Valley has a collection of restaurants, coffee-shops and bars which struggle to exist, and it still has the commercial disadvantage of being “on a back road”. No real commercial attractions exists and the Valley certainly do not have a population to support the hostelries that began to spring up. For three centuries, the valley was the preserve of Afrikaans farmers. Fifteen years ago, things changed. The majority of the properties sold are not as holiday homes, but to people want to live in the Valley. Buyers are drawn by the scenic beauty, good schools, and the proximity to Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Tygervalley. With the property boom and the olive festival has come a different type of settler. ‘It is no longer only the “artistic types” or retirees, but now includes the mainstream people & even more younger people who have made money and don’t need to be in the city. There are no real opportunities for employment in the Riebeek Valley, so you have to be self-sufficient – work from home, commute, or have a private income. As more companies outsource and employ less, people may as well live in a beautiful place and do business with a computer. Demograpics : 88% of the population speak Afrikaans while only 2.5% speak English. 78% of the population of the Riebeek Valley is coloured, 18% white and 4% black. History : The solitary mountain was ‘discovered’ in 1661 during an expedition into the hinterland led by Corporal Pieter Cruythoff, and named ‘Riebeeck’s Kasteel’ in honour of the governor and his Cape castle. Later, Willem van der Stel offered land in the area to colonists, and the farms Allesverloren and Kloovenberg were established. Among the first farmers were Huguenots, who planted vineyards. Artisans including wagon makers joined the farming community in Riebeek Kasteel, while retired farmers settled in grander houses four kilometres away in Riebeek West. Property Market : The attraction of cheap property is no longer to be found as properties are as expensive as any in the better suburbs of Cape Town, and there is still very little infrastructure. 800m²-900m2 plots sell for R400 000; Entry-level houses start at just under R1-million The majority of properties sell between R1m- to R2m; Top-end properties - over R4m. Popularity peaked in 2004 . Property in Riebeek Kasteel is the most expensive in the Swartland district. Capital growth over the last year increased only 4% while cheaper areas were catching up fast (Malmesbury 11%, Darling 47%, & Porterville with a 37% capital growth). In Riebeek West (15.23%), the average price of property sold has risen from R557 750 to R680 351 over two years. A handful of upmarket developments are taking root in the valley. Average sale prices in the Swartland during the past year: Malmesbury (R623 000), Moorreesburg (R477 000), Riebeek West (R680 000), Riebeek Kasteel (R735 000), Porterville (R467 000), Darling (R618 000), Hopefield (R412 000), Citrusdal (R406 000), Clanwilliam (R530 000) and Piketberg (R427 000). General information : Restuarants : According to the 2007 edition of Eat Out, there are no less than seven entries for the Riebeek Valley amongst South Africa's best 800 restaurants.

house Welcoming you into a BEAUTIFUL private garden. This 3 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom (main-en-suite), diningroom & lounge laid out with carpets & tiles and a double carport is an EXCELLENT buy. This place is STUNNING and you can make it YOUR OWN! Background Information about Centurion : General : 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. 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. 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.

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. Although family buyers feature prominently in the area, 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.

Building plot, sale, george, western cape

building plot, 613 m² Vacant erf in the Le Grand George Golf Estate which includes 2 memberships to the Greg Norman golf course valued at R150,000. Background Information Le Grand : Situated just outside George, located on a pristine natural peninsula between the Indian Ocean and the Gwaing River, Le Grand George presents the ideal mix of natural elements for the making of a world class Greg Norman-designed golf course. The residential golf estate will enjoy spectacular sea and mountain views and include a nature reserve. The rural atmosphere and natural bush and fynbos will be retained as the natural habitat for local wildlife. The estate will have its own hiking and bird trails. Le Grand George is set in the heart of a golfing paradise, with Fancourt, Oubaai and George Golf Club nearby. It is a mere 10 minutes’ drive from George Airport. The climate is more stable than that of Cape Town – making the area perfect for year-round golfing. Other sporting facilities at Le Grand George provide entertainment for the entire family. The estate will have its own tennis courts and driving range. Boating, fishing, water skiing, surfing, mountain biking and hiking are all enjoyed within the surrounding areas. The Garden Route is renowned throughout the world for its immense natural beauty. Winding along the edge of the warm Indian Ocean, it encompasses all of nature's wonders – from huge mountain ranges to small lakes and the country's largest remaining indigenous forest, the Tsitsikamma, which is home to a kaleidoscope of flora and fauna and a multitude of rare bird species. A major attraction in the Garden Route area is the Outeniqua Choo Tjoe, the historic steam train which travels between George and the town of Knysna Background Information George : George is rapidly being transformed from a sleepy Garden Route town into a relocation and retirement option for up-country folk attracted by the Garden Route landscape and a small town lifestyle with big town infrastructure. George, already home to 160 000 residents, is likely to see its population swell by 6 000 a year, which is underpinning rising demand for affordable housing in the area. There is a constant flow of new buyers looking for property in the area and this has been stimulated by improvements to the N2 road linking Cape Town and the Garden Route. New lifestyle estates are being constructed and marketed throughout the country and general improvements in infrastructure and amenities are underway. The demand for affordable property is coming predominantly from local residents whose affordability levels are pitched from R400 000 to R800 000. George has also experience strong commercial expansion as of late. The new R400-million, 125-stored Garden Route Mall in George is yet another feather in the development cap of this booming area where increasing numbers of South African’s are relocating. This growth is manifesting in excellent take-up of space in both office blocks and houses that are fast being converted from residential to commercial zoning. Despite relatively high rentals of as much as R50/m2, there is little untenanted space in the area, which is also supporting good growth in its industrial and retail sectors. The award winning George airport, the only airport on the Garden Route suited to big planes, experienced a big increase in airport traffic over the past few years. It has added to the area’s accessibility and affordable flights from Cape Town and Gauteng are spurring the influx. George is an “all-season town” unlike Knysna and Plettenberg Bay, making it an ideal choice for people who are eager to settle down on the Garden Route. George offers an array of amenities including restaurants, cinemas and some of the best schools in the province. The rapid growth of George’s capital budget, from R13,6 million in 1986/87 to R229, 6 million for the 2006/7 period, supports the town’s claim to fame as not only a residential and holiday destination of choice but also as one of the Western Cape’s most significant economic growth points. The town’s well-balanced economy, which spans a wide range of sectors, including agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, trade, business and financial services, has ensured steady urban growth. Accordingly aware of the need to support its existing central infrastructure as well as its urban progress, the department of Planning and Development has allocated R2 million of its R30 million-plus capital budget for the 2006/2007 period for upgrading and maintaining the CBD. The balance will be spent on housing projects and the development of economically viable sites. Surrounded by the Outeniqua Mountains and the sea, the region flaunts its natural beauty. Buyers have also commented on the abundance of water relative to other areas in the Western Cape as a draw card. This has elevated it into the league of one of a few dozen “secondary towns” in South Africa, comparable with Paarl and Worcester in the Western Cape & Port Shepstone in KwaZulu-Natal. George represents a sustainable property market. “Real” residents are buying and it is not a destination attractive to aggressive speculators. In the long term this will result in a smoother capital growth trend. The trend of people relocating to the Garden Route from the metropolitan areas of Gauteng, Cape Town and Durban is in its infancy. The region is fast being transformed from a holiday destination into a sought after residential area. Although most of the investment along the Garden Route is local, new security estates have made “lock-up and go” properties more accessible and many foreigners are taking advantage of these opportunities.

House, sale, swellendam, western cape

house Neat house in central area of the Overberg town of Swellendam. Beautiful condition three bedroom with single bathroom house in the central area of town with asbestos roof, steel windows and wooden and tile floor covering. Open plan sitting and dining room with fireplace form a cozy entertainment or family room area. Kitchen with wooden cupboards near the zinc and tiles on the floor. Handy outdoor stone built barbeque and single garage. Well kept garden with lots of lawn this property is compact and convenient near the primary school and walking distance from the nearest Supermarket. This is the property to suit a young family and with the Owner relocating this is the answer to a good buy to own a property that is expansive but not expensive. The price R800,000 Swellendam Background Information : Nestling at the foot of the picturesque Langeberg Mountains, Swellendam has much to offer people who have an interest in history, nature and outdoor activities. It is situated on the N2, approximately 240 km from both Cape Town and George. In addition to serving its local and surrounding community, Swellendam glories in its past by continuing to offer travellers the services they require for rest and relaxation on their travels. Property : Swellendam, the third oldest town in SA, draws many buyers in their fifties who are looking for a quieter, country lifestyle. Historic homes in the Cape Dutch and Victorian styles add great charm to the town. Strong demand from lifestyle buyers has pushed property prices beyond the reach of many local buyers. Although the new National Credit Act has put a slight damper on sales, demand from lifestyle buyers is still strong. The real need is now in the affordable market and there is great scope for developers who can bring units to the market at less than R600 000. Developers were quick to act on the demand for lifestyle units and are buying large stands, sub-dividing them and building full-title units with security features. These units sell fast among buyers from Gauteng and Cape Town and demand is pushing up prices. For instance, a two-bedroom unit of about 130sqm that sold for R650 000 a mere 16 months ago is now valued at more than R800 000. Most sales are taking place in the R800 000 to R1,3m range. Such prices are out of reach for many locals who are thus forced to rent accommodation. The new Act has further dimmed their hopes of entering the market and although rentals are low to suit their budgets, cheaper units would also create opportunities for investors who are prepared to wait for value growth. There are a big need for sectional title units in the market. All property in Swellendam is currently full title and sectional title developments could lower unit costs. History : The first known sketch of Swellendam was of the Drostdy, by Johannes Schumacher in 1776, when he accompanied the son of Governor Swellengrebel to the town. Swellendam has been an important travel centre for centuries. Early travellers and explorers who visited the Cape in the 1500's traded with the Khoikhoi people who lived on these shores. When the Dutch East India Company established a refreshment centre at the Cape in 1652, trade continued inland as far as Swellendam. In 1743 Swellendam was declared a magisterial district, the third oldest in South Africa. A landdrost was appointed and a Drostdy and other buildings were erected. The district was named after Governor Hendrik Swellengrebel and his wife, Ten Damme. In time, a village was established opposite the Drostdy, across the Koornlands River, where artisans, including numerous wainwrights, and traders settled. To travellers and explorers, the service of these village folk were indispensable, as Swellendam was the last outpost of civilization on the eastern frontier. By the middle of the 19th century, the eastern districts had been colonized by British settlers and Swellendam was a thriving metropolis. The town served as a useful refreshment station on the long, slow journey up the coast. Outdoor Activities : All the usual sporting facilities are available and visitors are welcome to join the members at the various clubs. In addition, horse-riding, canoeing and other water sports can be arranged. There are also mountain bike trails in the area and bikes are available for hire. Hermitage Liquor Farm Swellendam is the largest Youngberry growing area in the country and a farm just 3km out of town may be visited for liqueur tasting. Other Youngberry products are also for sale. Call Kosie or Natalie van Zyl at Tel +27-291-43132 Artists Several well-known artists have settled in Swellendam and their studios may be visited.

The new Act has further dimmed their hopes of entering the market and although rentals are low to suit their budgets, cheaper units would also create opportunities for investors who are prepared to wait for value growth. There are a big need for sectional title units in the market. All property in Swellendam is currently full title and sectional title developments could lower unit costs. History : The first known sketch of Swellendam was of the Drostdy, by Johannes Schumacher in 1776, when he accompanied the son of Governor Swellengrebel to the town. Swellendam has been an important travel centre for centuries. Early travellers and explorers who visited the Cape in the 1500's traded with the Khoikhoi people who lived on these shores. When the Dutch East India Company established a refreshment centre at the Cape in 1652, trade continued inland as far as Swellendam. In 1743 Swellendam was declared a magisterial district, the third oldest in South Africa. A landdrost was appointed and a Drostdy and other buildings were erected. The district was named after Governor Hendrik Swellengrebel and his wife, Ten Damme. In time, a village was established opposite the Drostdy, across the Koornlands River, where artisans, including numerous wainwrights, and traders settled. To travellers and explorers, the service of these village folk were indispensable, as Swellendam was the last outpost of civilization on the eastern frontier. By the middle of the 19th century, the eastern districts had been colonized by British settlers and Swellendam was a thriving metropolis. The town served as a useful refreshment station on the long, slow journey up the coast. Outdoor Activities : All the usual sporting facilities are available and visitors are welcome to join the members at the various clubs. In addition, horse-riding, canoeing and other water sports can be arranged. There are also mountain bike trails in the area and bikes are available for hire. Hermitage Liquor Farm Swellendam is the largest Youngberry growing area in the country and a farm just 3km out of town may be visited for liqueur tasting. Other Youngberry products are also for sale.
