PALM VIEW ESTATE - A NEW VISION FOR ALL

"It's an exciting new residential concept on the KZN North Coast," says Myles Wakefield, CEO of Wakefields Real Estate. "A secure gated estate accessible to everybody, with all the lifestyle amenities you would traditionally only expect from a luxury estate."

Palm View Estate on the north coast - at Etete in Shakaskraal - fills a longed-for niche for quality, contemporary freestanding and duplex homes with gardens, in a secure walled environment, on the prestigious north coast.   

This is a true village, not a development. You'll be part of a diverse community with all the leisure amenities of a wonderful north coast lifestyle, in an estate where your children are safe riding bikes and playing in the streets. That peace of mind is priceless...yet at Palm View Estate, it's affordable and real.

The properties come at a range of highly attractive prices, with no transfer costs. A two bedroomed home with private garden starts at R650,000 and a three bed, from R875,000. Wakefield reassures buyers, "Those fair prices carry absolutely no compromise on security or amenities - it's a first for the north coast."

Whether you're from Tongaat, Phoenix, Durban or Pinetown, Palm View Estate offers different types of accommodation to suit pockets and needs. A pretty village filled with attractive coastal-styled freestanding homes with their own gardens (pets welcome) - apartments and duplexes too - set in a vast 438 hectare site, with a gatehouse, trees and landscaping, biking and hiking trails, community green spaces, outdoor swimming pools, and a lifestyle centre. Fibre internet is available, and the homes are designed around sustainable living, so you'll be saving on electricity and water. 

The Palm View Estate's Lifestyle Centre will have numerous community facilities, including an indoor pool, gym and fitness studio, and medical suites. Walking distance to your whole world.

Security features at Palm View Estate include high-level CCTV cameras, biometric access control, a 24 hour manned guardhouses, and the estate is walled and gated. As they say, Safe As Houses - couldn't be truer than here.

And to make a village, you need a school. At Palm View Estate, there will eventually be two and tertiary education. There'll also be retail shops, commercial spaces and community facilities.

This is the first of three villages within Palm View. This, Palm View Eco Estate, will be followed later by Palm View Retirement Village and Palm View Country Village.

Palm View Estate is 13 years in the making - that's how long it takes to get a project of this magnitude to market. Respected developers, Derek Warren Developments acquired the Estate two years ago, redesigned the homes into stylish and contemporary coastal styled living, have built and furbished the attractive showhouse so buyers can get the precise look and feel, and the gatehouse, infrastructure and sales office is in place. They're excited about being able to bring to market superior housing and an attractive lifestyle that's accessible to all. This mixed-use model offers KZNers so many opportunities for a good life - it's the future. 

 With the all-time low interest rates, transfer duty exemption for homes under R1m, and no transfer costs for a new build, Palm View Eco Estate properties will be in high demand from both prospective homeowners and investors. As Wakefield says, "This standard of gated village, and this coastal lifestyle, a mere 15 minutes from Ballito, is going to be the address everybody wants."
