Economic research indicates that estates developed in conjunction with a school result in a 10% to 15% higher property price growth, compared to residential areas with private schools. While this is an international trend, the research points out that the rule is especially true in South Africa, where superior quality schooling is valued throughout different income and cultural groups.
Part of the Estates ethos lies in the biophilic design which incorporates natural materials, natural light, vegetation, nature views & other experiences of nature into the modern built environment. Wherever you are in Somerset Lakes, the spectacular six-hectare lake creates a tranquil atmosphere. Surrounded by captivating mountains, a forest of stone pine trees, vineyards and the ocean, Somerset Lakes is a sensory indulgence.
Each housing development offers unique benefits for its residential community, as well as a unique look and feel. Many of Somerset Lakes’ architectural elements were borrowed from the basics of architecture, finding a perfect balance between texture, proportion, scale, shape and shadow.
Homes are contemporary and feel spacious with well-lit interiors, unspoiled views of the mountains, private garden areas, security and secure parking. Furthermore, all homes have access to the estate’s fibre-optic cable which offers high-speed Internet and Voice over IP (VOIP) communications.
All brought together in harmony to create a home that satisfies all your needs.
