GETTING
TO THE
POINT
Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a reluctant renter or a wannabe holiday home owner
by the sea, buying property requires some thoughtful planning – and with so many
factors to consider, not least the political and economic climate of the country, it’s hard
to know where to start, but we are confident that Pinnacle Point Estate will amaze and
impress you beyond your wildest dreams.
Estate living in South Africa is on the rise, according to Lightstone,
and buying a house (or two) in a secured community is generally
considered a smart investment, particularly in estates that are
financially sound, located in a ‘property hotspot’, and home to

inviting home owners to live the lifestyle with a host of facilities that
include a gym, spa, events venue, childrens’ area, performance and
fitness centre, and – of course –the award-winning golf course, and
clubhouse with 270-degree sea views.
POINT OF SALE
Pinnacle Point continues to astound both in terms of units sold and
transaction value. With a variety of property options available to
suit every budget – from open plots to full-title homes and turnkey
apartments (villas). The estate has had a phenomenal year in terms

success story.
There has been a marked increase in the number of families from

see how convenient it would be to live the lifestyle at Pinnacle Point,
and commute to the country’s economic centres for work.

and harmony, as more and more residents opt for indigenous plants
in easy-to-maintain gardens.

succulent plants or shrubs that don’t need a lot of water,’ says Juditte
van Dyk, Landscaping Manager at Pinnacle Point Estate. ‘This trend
