Golf properties have become the leading real estate phenomenon of the 21st century in South Africa. And there is good reason for their growing popularity: They offer a quiet and sheltered luxury life for you and your family, whether you are a passionate golfer or not.
A safe haven in times of crime
Golf estate ownership is an investor’s dream, as they not only offer safe havens in a turbulent ocean of crime, but the maintenance and care of the manicured gardens, fairways and greens are the responsibility of the Corporate Entity of the farm.
This community involvement in the maintenance of the golf property will generally mean 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 courses that dot the South African landscape will be a shrewd and lucrative move on your part.
Possibly, the selection of golf real estate is located in two different areas, both of which are attractive tourist destinations: the legendary Cape Garden Route and the mystical savannah in the north of the country.
Versatile range of Garden Route golf real estate
The Garden Route has a versatile range of golf properties to choose from, so if Mossel Bay, George or Plettenberg Bay is your preferred city center option, rest assured that there is a luxurious and quiet golf property nearby.
Golf estate promoters are also especially aware of their responsibility to the environment and design the golf course and surrounding homes in harmony with nature so as not to interfere too much with the sustainability of the region. This makes bird and animal life thrive, making golf course ownership a true paradise to live in.
Most golf estates are a fine mix of glorious green fairways, leading indigenous fynbos, and magnificent views of the ocean and mountains along the Garden Route, or pristine shrubbery, teeming with a wide selection of wild and woolly creatures in the case of the northern offers.
No unauthorized access
These properties are generally gated communities with 24-hour security that limit access to the entire property. Sadly, South Africans have been under the cloak of rampant crime, even since their emancipation, and we all have to think hard about the safety of our families. It doesn’t take a great scientist to realize that golf real estate is one of the safest options for you and your children.
So if you want to enjoy a life of tranquility, added security, and unlimited access to the great outdoors, consider purchasing golf real estate today.
