Ryk Neethling, group marketing director for Val de Vie , says the
resident demographics at Val de Vie are evenly split between working
aged people, who work from home or commute within the greater
Cape Town area or even to Gauteng, and retired people, some of
whom are ‘swallows’ – intercontinental migrants who spend the
summer months in South Africa.
Offerings range from lock-up-and-go premium apartments to
nice-sized residential plot and plans for a young families or
downsizers. The freestanding plots appeal to those wanting to
create their dream home, and rounding off the offering is the
expansive gentlemen’s estates – small farms measuring up to
3.5 hectares where you can keep horses and some other
livestock. Homeowners can choose from customisable
house designs from established architects like iCON
Architects, who have a clear appreciation for the estate's
architectural
guidelines.
This
consistency
of
style
contributes immeasurably to Val de Vie’s aesthetic appeal
and property values, and the quality of design makes the
homes attractive to a range of buyers, from first-time
home owners to empty-nest retirees.
‘The buyers are discerning and come to us because
they want the best an estate has to offer, says
Neethling, ‘and they want homes that perform the
best and that will be excellent investments in the
long term.’
