De Plattekloof Lifestyle Estate is located in the most exclusive suburb in the Cape’s Northern Suburbs and offers a five-star lifestyle for the over-fifties. De Plattekloof now celebrates its fifth birthday and is close to completion, with only a few of its full title ownership opportunities still available. These include Independent Living Apartments, Assisted Living Apartments, and Independent Homes.
Three of the Independent Living Apartment options – Bloemendal, Lebenstijn, and Diemerskuijl – are sold out and fully complete.
Launched in the fourth quarter of 2022, De Hoogekraal is 60% sold out and already under construction. It is set for delivery in the first quarter of next year, and offers one- and two-bedroom Independent Living Apartments priced from R2.387m (including transfer duty and a parking bay). De Hoogekraal has an excellent setting within the estate, fronting onto and overlooking The Manor House Garden.
The Tijgerzicht Assisted Living Apartments are fully complete, with 75% of them sold to date. The remaining 27 units available include studio and one- and two-bedroom suites and are priced from R1.406m (including transfer duty).
In terms of Independent Homes, 45 modern and spacious 2- and 3-bedroom Independent Homes have been constructed and released to market, with only 22 homes still for sale. These are priced from R4.995m (including transfer duty) and are the perfect choice for retirees who are still completely self-sufficient and wish to continue living an expansive and luxurious lifestyle.
Phase 1 of The Manor House Garden is also fully complete. This includes an outdoor recreational area, covered seating, bowling green, and numerous trees, forming a centralised green zone within the estate where residents can enjoy the facilities or simply relax and take in the views and peaceful gardens.
De Plattekloof Lifestyle Estate is a full-ownership, sectional title development, which means that you actually own the property and benefit from its future capital growth. This is very different from life rights schemes, where units are merely ‘sold’ to you for the remaining years of your life.
Johan Laubscher from Arun Holdings (Pty) Ltd, which partnered with Old Mutual Alternative Investments on the estate, explains: “Calculated over a 10-year period, this capital growth on your fully owned property at De Plattekloof could entail a significant component that could be added to your estate. It could also be kept as an investment by your children and be rented out, again, unlike with life rights schemes. In this way it continues to create generational wealth, which can be carried forward.”
The estate has a first-class Care Centre on site, which is housed in Tijgerzicht and is fully complete. Adds Laubscher: “De Plattekloof Lifestyle Estate is one of the very few lifestyle-orientated retirement schemes in the Western Cape that actually makes provision for age-appropriate care with its Assisted Living Units and Care Centre, which is run by Medwell SA.”
Situated adjacent to Baronetcy Estate and sharing the same developer, De Plattekloof offers close proximity to the city. It is within 10 minutes’ drive of Panorama Mediclinic with its world-class facilities, and offers comprehensive, state-of-the-art security.
The elevated position of the estate means that many apartments and homes offer iconic, panoramic views of Table Mountain, Table Bay and Robben Island.
Other amenities which residents enjoy include a restaurant, lounge and bar, braai and function facilities, a coffee shop, library, hair and beauty salon, soon to be completed heated pool and treatment room and future clubhouse. Activities range from a bridge club, music club and choir to a reading club and cinema and theatre nights.
