About the estate

It consists of 31 large stands, is very quiet and many owners have wildlife roaming around.

The property for sale has significant additional security consisting of another fence, a 2.5m wall, another electric fence and another 2 meter wall. Ostriches roam in between the first wall and electric fence perimeter area. There has not even been an attempt in 12 years by intruders to enter the property for sale.

Levies and rates
Mogale rates: R 2500
Estate levies: R 4200 per month

Nature of property
The property for sale is one of two properties on the 2 hectare stand, which is divided into two approximately one hectare stands, and with a 700m² beautiful house in the process of being built on the other stand. The two properties are divided in terms of a sectional title scheme. 6m high walls block any view between the two houses and both face on opposite directions, providing complete privacy between the two properties. The other neighbours are around 70–100m away, ensuring sufficient privacy but also not remote living in case of an emergency.

The benefit of the properties being sold in terms of a Sectional title scheme is that certain costs, such as the levies and rates set out above, can be split 50/50, resulting in a significant monthly saving. Currently sub division is not allowed due to the estate falling within the Cradle of human kind heritage area. However, should this be allowed in future, as anticipated, and should it be the wish of the owners to do so, the property can merely be sub divided on the same basis as the sectional title scheme. This would, however, potentially mean that the sharing of costs benefit would be lost.
