Early-entry
buyers have already purchased over 180
stands at the Zilkaats Estate 2 000-hectare,
residential eco-estate that is set in
a pristine indigenous environment on the
northern slopes of the Magaliesberg, close
to Hartebeespoort Dam.
Located on an expansive
2000 hectares of land, Zilkaats
boasts abundant indigenous fauna and flora,
creating a tranquil, yet contemporary,
African recluse close to the nearby urban
delta.

Zilkaats
Estate is a wildlife
sanctuary designed
to offer its residents the
best of the outdoor Highveld.
Following the natural contours
of the land, eco friendly
walking and running trails
have been mapped out across
the Estate.
The Estate has 1000 stands
available for purchase ranging
from R770 000 to R1,
7-million, depending
on whether the stand is on
the lower, middle or upper
slope of the estate or on
the most exclusive, top-priced,
ridge of the development.
These stands are sized
at 1500m2, making
them one of the largest in
their current property market.
There will be approximately
9000m2 of land available to
each resident. A
retail centre will be situated
in the estate, making everyday
commodities easily accessible
to residents.
|
|
| With
a state-of-the-art driving
range built as an extension
to one of the clubhouses, golf enthusiasts
will be given the opportunity to
perfect their par in the midst of
this untainted lifestyle sanctuary.
Several
teeming dams are also
found on the Estate creating a
perfect place for picnics, small
scale angling
and unwinding in nature.

gated residential estate anywhere
in South Africa.

by Architects - WP Bosch &
Associates and Andre Kriel. Ambassadors
of Zilkaats Estate are Joost van
der Westhuizen and his family.

To
many, Lake Michelle is probably regarded
as one of the most beautiful places in
the world. Set amidst Noordhoek’s
tranquil wetlands, this new lakefront
development has inspired numerous investors
to create breathtakingly magnificent homes.
Lake
Michelle’s heart is a salt marsh
lake with indigenous fauna and flora.
The area is home to over 126 species of
birds and other fauna like the rare leopard
toad and an extensive variety of ducks
and fish.
Lake Michelle’s
lakefront development offers pure inspiration
for every homeowner. A peaceful atmosphere,
a breathtaking setting, a secure complex,
a convenient location for shopping and
entertainment and close to one of the
Cape's most beautiful beaches as well
as one of South Africa's most exceptional
cities.
|
 |
This
development is tailor-made for those
who want to experience a
safe and secure home, set
among an abundance of fauna
and flora, in a breathtaking
valley. All this just a stone's
throw away from the Atlantic Ocean,
and yet just 30km from the
Cape Town CBD.
Pristine
and luxury lakeside living has been
made easy with the exciting, tailored
‘plot and plan’ property
packages at one of South
Africa's largest and most responsible
eco-estates.
State-of-the-art security
has been provided in the form of
electric perimeter fencing, perimeter
beams and cameras, as well as 24-hour
security patrols and a staffed gatehouse
– all laid out with subtlety
and finesse to ensure the sense
of open-plan, communal living is
not disrupted.
Of the 224 sites available, 33%
were snapped up at the launch. There
are six uniquely designed layouts
(plots) and 11 different house type
designs to choose from. The idea
of ‘plot and plan'
product comes in response to market
demands and makes Lake
Michelle a highly attractive investment.
|
Many
buyers don't want to go through the hassle
of having to build a house after buying
their stand, especially if buyers are
not local. They are too remote to go through
the complexities of building from a distance.
The buyer quite simply chooses
his stand, the size and style of house
- with various possibilities for adaptations
- and then enters into a sale agreement
that provides for a fixed period of delivery
of around five months. The whole process
is facilitated through Pam Golding Properties.
Simple.

Tanglethorn
Estate was conceptualised
with an ideal in mind – to
recapture the gracious African farm
lifestyle that pioneer South Africans
enjoyed at the turn of the 20th
century.
The vision is to enhance
quality of life on a wildlife
estate, where families
can reside in a secure farm environment,
enjoy the benefits of a country
life, while still staying within
easy reach of the vibrant
urban centres of Hillcrest
and Pietermaritzburg.
Key
to this vision was securing
the rights of residents to go on
outrides and long hikes
in a natural environment in perpetuity,
knowing that no future urban developments
will compromise these activities.
|
Tanglethorn
Estate comprises 78
hectares of rolling
thornveld with unparalleled
views of Table Mountain (Drakensberg).
Only 19 spacious stands
available from 3400 m²
- 6500 m².
At an altitude of 800m, the
climate is temperate
and offers respite from the
coastal humidity and the inland
heat. Winters are mild, offering
the odd opportunity to curl
up beside a log fire.
The intention at Tanglethorn
is to game fence the estate
and rehabilitate the
area into a wildlife haven,
providing a secure habitat
to a variety of wildlife,
including reedbuck, zebra,
kudu, impala and grey duiker.
A small wetland and
bird hide will also
be established to encourage
birdlife to the area. |

Tanglethorn
Estate uniquely caters
to the needs of equestrians
and horse lovers,
offering stabling and outstanding
outrides in an unspoilt natural
environment.
To facilitate your passion
for horse riding,
the estate will provide
stabling, management services,
paddocks, arenas and a lunge
ring.
A maximum of 20 horses
will be accommodated on the
estate. Horse owners will
be required to purchase a
stable and paddock lease at
R60 000 per horse.
This capital investment will
allow for the establishment
of 16m2 stables, a shared
tack room, a feed room, overnight
accommodation facilities for
grooms and the creation of
paddocks.
Those horse owners with properties
adjoining the paddocks may
choose to build stables on
their stands. In
these instances, the owners
would need to purchase a paddock
lease for R25 000, which will
cover the proportionate share
of the paddock costs, lunge
ring and arena.
A monthly levy will be charged
to owners of horse concessions
and stable leases to cover
the estimated R900 cost of
keeping a horse for a month. |
|
 |
This
will include the following:
• Shavings
• Fence maintenance
• Hay
• Watering points
• Management time
• The upkeep of
paddocks and pastures
• Grooms’
costs
This levy will exclude
the cost of food concentrates
and the irrigation of
paddocks.
Where horses are maintained
on owners’ stands,
the monthly levy will
be reduced to an estimated
R250 per month, per
horse. |

Home
Design Theme
Situated in a uniquely elevated
position, surrounded by natural
grasslands, thornveld and
farmlands, Tanglethorn Estate
combines the advantages of
a modern lifestyle with the
ambience of 19th century farm
living.
Drawing inspiration from the
early colonial farmhouses
of Natal, the Planning
and Design Code is aimed at
enhancing your country lifestyle
through its architecture and
ensuring that each home is
built to blend in with the
Tanglethorn style.
This still allows the owner
room to maintain the individuality
of their home while
creating a harmonious, visually
pleasing environment. |

Here
are some things to help you understand mortgage
basics:
1. Length Of The Mortgage
The size of a mortgage makes the length
necessarily longer. Common lengths of mortgages
can fall anywhere between ten and thirty
years. This means, that if you pay according
to the terms of the mortgage, that you will
have it entirely paid off at the end of
that time. Generally, the lower amount of
payment you can afford, the longer the time
you will need to pay off.
2. Interest On A Mortgage
The interest rates on buying a house or
property change every day - sometimes even
more than once a day. It depends on the
economy, and the area you live in. You need
to shop around and get the lowest amount
of interest that you can because even one
percent over 30 years means a difference
of over tens of thousands of Rands. |
|
3.
Main Types of Interest Rate
3. Options
Most mortgages will fall into one of these
choices -
A fixed rate mortgage
The fixed rate is one where the interest
and payment amounts are "fixed."
That means it is always the same until the
mortgage is paid in full.
A Variable Rate Mortgage
This means that the amount of your payments
changes in an unpredictable way - according
to the economy. If the economy is doing
well, then your interest rates on the mortgage
are lower - and so are your payments.
Step-down / Reducing rate mortgage
Regardless of whether the home loan interest
rate rises or falls, the reducing rate option
will apply for the agreed period (usually
less than 5 years). This facility agrees
that your interest rate will decrease by
a set percentage every three to six months
for the agreed period
BA Linked Rate mortgage
If the outstanding balance of your home
loan is over R100 000 and you are financing
an existing residential property, you can
apply for this interest rate option. Your
monthly home loan repayments cannot exceed
25% of your gross monthly salary (individual
or joint). |
|
4.
Paying Off The Mortgage
The best type of mortgage will enable you
to increase your payments, or make additional
payments in order to reduce the amount you
owe. This means that you will be able to
pay off the mortgage early, and save a lot
of money.
When going for your mortgage, the best thing
you can do to help yourself is to understand
as much as possible about mortgages. |
