SUMMER CLUB, SOMERSET WEST
The first phase of The Summer Club,
a 1.3 billion Rand secure eco and lifestyle
estate in Somerset West, has sold out
within just six weeks of launching at
prices between R650,000 and R1,3m.
Construction has commenced and
occupation of the first 114 apartments is
expected at the end of 2014.
The estate enjoys an ideal location
within Somerset West, being in close
proximity to all essential amenities.
Vergelegen MediClinic, as well as other
leading medical practices, are located
near the estate.
In addition, a Curro Castle Nursery
School and a convenience shopping

centre, forming part of the greater
Summer Club development precinct, is
also in the planning.

Somerset West region, the developer has
chosen to dedicate 40% of the estate’s
42ha footprint to open, recreational and
green space for its residents.
The green belt system includes 15ha of
landscaped parks, gardens and a natural
forest with hiking trails and cycling tracks,
and a 6ha dam, ideal for fishing, rowing,
