Golf estates have become the main real estate phenomenon of the 21st century in South Africa. And there’s a good reason for their growing popularity: they offer quiet, sheltered luxury living for you and your family, whether you’re a passionate golfer or not.
A safe haven in times of crime
Golf real estate is an investor’s dream, as not only does it offer safe havens in a turbulent ocean of crime, but the maintenance and upkeep of the manicured gardens, fairways and greens are the responsibility of the property’s corporate entity.
This community involvement in golf property maintenance generally means that your golf property is likely to improve in value by leaps and bounds over time. There is no doubt that investing in one of the hundreds of golf properties that dot the South African landscape will be a shrewd and lucrative move on your part.
Possibly the selection of golf real estate is found in two distinct areas, both of which are attractive tourist destinations: the legendary Garden Route of the Cape and the mystical bushveld in the north of the country.
Versatile range of golf real estate on the Garden Route
Garden Route has a versatile range of golf real estate to choose from, so if Mossel Bay, George or Plettenberg Bay is your preferred choice of urban center, rest assured there is a luxurious and tranquil golf course nearby.
Golf course developers are also particularly aware of their responsibility towards the environment and design the golf course and adjoining houses in harmony with nature so as not to interfere too much with the sustainability of the region. This allows animal and bird life to thrive, making the golf course property a true paradise to live in.
Most of the leading golf properties are a fine blend of glorious fairway greens, indigenous fynbos, and magnificent ocean and mountain views along the Garden Route, or pristine bush, teeming with a wide selection of wild and woolly creatures in the case of northern offers.
No unauthorized access
These developments are generally gated communities with 24-hour security that limits access to the entire property. Sadly, South Africans have been under the threat of rampant crime even since their emancipation, and we all have to think long and hard about the safety of our family. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that golf real estate is one of the safest options for you and your kids.
So if you are interested in enjoying a life of tranquility, added security and unlimited access to the outdoors, consider purchasing golf real estate today.
