The developers have made an extra effort to design and build with the environment in mind , and homeowners can benefit from two 2,500-litre water tanks in their garden for rainwater harvesting , as well as solar geysers , and full title units will be ‘ inverter ready ’ for battery storage to help alleviate the inconvenience of loadshedding . Other energy-saving features include smart metering and the use of LED lighting throughout the home , which are welcome cost-saving measures for any homeowner .
Massive confidence boost for buyers
Homestead Views is being developed on a 5-hectare site on the corner of the R330 and is the last phase of the existing Homestead Village , which was developed 15 years ago . Once complete , the estate will have a combination of 57 full title homes and 46 two- and three-bedroom sectional title apartments . The first two sectional title blocks have been sold out . The remaining sectional title blocks are selling out fast . In addition to the units , the development offers 18 garages and 18 mini storage units for sale or rental .
As well as being competitively priced ( apartments start at just over R1 million , while a three-bedroom home can be snapped up for R2.3 million including plot , VAT and transfer costs ), all of the major banks have also approved bonds of up to 100 % for all units on the estate . Not only is this great for first-time buyers wanting a leg up on the property ladder , but it is also a huge confidence boost to investors , highlighting the exceptional value and track record of returns in St Francis , which are almost double the national average . Homestead Views Estate really does tick all the right boxes .
