As you descend Ou Kaapse
Weg from the Constantia
side, you will see Noordhoek,
Fish Hoek and Kommetjie
spread out in front of you. On
your left is Chapman’s Bay,
and way across the valley
on the opposite hillside is
Stonehaven.
Chapman’s Bay Estate
Situated on the southern slopes of Ou Kaapse Weg, Chapman’s Bay Estate has enviable views over the Fish Hoek Valley and the Atlantic Ocean.
Measuring 45 hectares, and with only 145 homes, the estate is designed to incorporate fynbos and wetland, creating spacious corridors of
natural vegetation, and allowing birds, leopard toads and other creatures to thrive. Stands are about 700 square metres, with prices ranging
from R1 million to about R2.5 million. There are only a few stands left, and – if you’re not into doing the whole building thing – there are
three spec houses being sold by the developer at around the R5.15 million mark. Levies are R2,650 per month at present.

You’ll have to negotiate the roadworks
past the Long Beach Mall – loads of
shopping and a Virgin Active – and then
turn right into Kommetjie Road, which is
also somewhat fraught with roadworks at
the moment. And soon, on the left, you
will see the brand-new fire station, which
is almost complete, and right next door
Willow Wood Village.
Willow Wood Village
With a two-bedroom unit selling for R995,000, this relatively small estate of – ultimately – 104 townhouses on Kommetjie Road is ideal for first-
time buyers. Phase 1, which is scheduled for completion by the end of 2019, will have 54 homes, and Phase 2, which is due for completion by
the end of 2020, will have a further 50. Offering the security of a fenced and gated estate with controlled access, and lifestyle features like a
pool, and open communal space, Willow Wood Village offers security and lifestyle at an unprecedented price. A R5,000 deposit secures the
unit, first-time buyers can get 100% bonds, and qualifying buyers can get FLISP subsidies. Contact Christopher on 083 448 4858.
On the banks of the bird-rich Wildevoelvlei, and overlooking the Atlantic, this secure, scenic estate is one of the more established in the area.
Close to the gorgeous Imhoff Farm Village, a slew of beaches, existing and planned schools, and a short drive from Long Beach Mall, Simon’s
Town and Fish Hoek, it’s well positioned – but with that South Peninsular ‘far-out’ feel. The 150 units have long been sold, but resales come up
quite often with prices from about R2.5 million to R6.5 million. A huge advantage here is the surprisingly low levies of R590 per month – all as
a result of residents ‘mucking in’ and doing what they can rather than outsourcing. villagehomes.co.za
Imhoff’s Gift
Continue down Kommetjie Road, and, just before you
get to the village, you will find – in quick succession –
on your right Imhoff’s Gift, The Aviary and Bluewater
Estate, and on your left, on the mountainside, Kommetjie
Vineyards. There are about five existing schools within
a short distance here, and a few more are planned.
(It’s worth stopping for coffee, lunch or just browsing
at either Harry Goemans Garden Centre, Peach Pip
Farm Stall or the fabulous rural Imhoff Farm complex).
