from THE EDITOR Creativity through ambition. www.estate-living.co.za FOUNDER/CEO Jaimé-Lee Gardner PARTNER/ EDITOR IN CHIEF Louise Martin FINANCIAL MANAGER Adrienne Vorster DESIGN & LAYOUT Michele Cunningham-Scott GOLF EDITOR John Cockayne This is what I think the pay-off line for residential communities should be, and the three estates we review in this edition are testament to that. Chapman’s Bay Estate in the Western Cape had to wait 30 years before it broke ground, and now we see it becoming magnificent prime, lowdensity real estate. Cotswold Downs Golf and Lifestyle Estate in KwaZulu-Natal, married the pitched roofs and stone finishes of the Cotswolds in England with indigenous South African flora, to make a unique collection of villages that offer residents the perfect family environment. Breedezicht Estate secured the final area for residential development in Witsand, overlooking the mouth of the Breede River, where they aren’t developing just an estate – they’re developing a whole new way of life.

And as quickly as fibre to the home is being deployed, entertainment and management systems are evolving. Network providers and Internet service providers need to offer solutions that support this technological advancement. We caught up with Richard Jones, keynote speaker at the FTTH Council conference that took place in Cape Town recently, who gave us some insight into what to ask for to ensure an open access network. So sit back, relax, open two bottles of wine – now, that’s ambitious! − and wait for the creativity to follow … Group.
