A

growing trend amongst savvy property
investors in South Africa is to focus on
investing in secure luxury developments, which
enhance value for homeowners in terms of infrastructure
and lifestyle by providing a ‘complete lifestyle package’.
Somerset Lakes, located in Somerset West, is an
exclusive luxury lifestyle estate that has been specifically
designed with this trend in mind. The upmarket estate
simultaneously offers excellent returns on investment
and provides residents with a living experience that
truly ‘ticks all the boxes’.
By the first quarter of 2016, the estate will feature
two top private schools (one operated by the prestigious
Reddam Group), as well as a luxury clubhouse with a
gym, spa and wellness treatment rooms, positioned on
a pristine six-hectare freshwater lake. The lake itself
is ideal for boating, kayaking, fishing, birding and
swimming. Somerset Lakes will also boast outdoor
running, walking and jogging trails, as well as an
outdoor gym set in an established stone pine forest.
These unique lifestyle add-ons differentiate Somerset
Lakes as a Western Cape’s property investment of
choice.
Since launching a mere 16 months ago, the expansive
64-hectare estate, located only 20 minutes from
Cape Town International Airport, and lying in close
proximity to many of the region’s top golf courses, wine
farms, beaches and shopping destinations, has already
achieved an impressive R240 million worth of sales.
The luxury estate offers buyers an array of stylish
home choices. It’s first residential phase, Brookdale,
