 For many searching for their dream home, the journey begins at Private Property. The website boasts a wide variety of estate property options, including new developments in the south of Johannesburg. Situated in the high-fold landscape of Ekenhof, Iowa Africa estate is nestled between Albertan and Krasmia. It's just 17 kilometres from the city centre and enjoys close proximity to good schools, hospitals and other amenities like horse riding. Hi, I'm Belinda Martin and I'm the owner of Penbridge Christian Centre and this is Buffon in Glovy. Buffon is one of our coaches. We live in the Alavines-Puert Valley and Penbridge has been here for 22 years. Buffon and I have lived here all our lives. I started to work here, I was a groom and now I'm a coach. And I've also got my son also riding here and I'm doing so well. I like my job and I've been here for many years, actually I was born here. Actually in the south, the south is a nice place for us. It's my home. The lovely thing about the Alavines-Puert Valley is if you have a look around, we are just outside of town with the Mall of the South, 15 minutes away, 10 minutes away, Waterston College, 6 minutes away. My daughter's grown up on a farm, we have a farm lifestyle. It's peaceful, there's still a lot of nature. We also have the Eye of Africa Golf Course right on our doorstep. And as far as the states go, if you've been in there, it's very scenic. They've kept it natural. The kids can walk over there and take part in whatever activities and we do holiday activities. So there's a lot to do in a wholesome environment. There are other estates in the area, but only Eye of Africa is home to the first Greg Norman design championship course in South Africa. The vision in this golf and residential estate is to create vibrant recreational and social community hubs, thanks to the many communal leisure areas and facilities enjoyed by all the residents. I think first and foremost what attracted us to Eye of Africa Estates is the lifestyle. You drive through the gates and it's like being in the country. It's beautiful, it's tranquil, it's a different lifestyle from the concrete jungle, you're in Stanton and it's a stone throw away from Stanton, but you really do feel like you are in the country. The estate has beautiful facilities. We've got two res fronts, the deli, and with the deli we've got a little shop. The deli has quite a nice history because it's got the oldest schoolhouse in Khateng. So it's quite unique that we have this beautiful old and new mixed together. So our little shop is actually housed in this old schoolhouse. We can buy picnic stuff and have a picnic in one of our beautiful gardens. The deli restaurant you can actually come and hire the deli and have your family and friends over. The greens grill house fits more into the golf. The golfing members, visitors that can have a meal, have a breakfast there or a luncheon. But family in the estate can also go after work and have a meal at the greens. For the more active residents we've got beautiful walking trails and you can take a walk along the estate boundary wall. We've got cycling trails in and outside of the estate. And then obviously the golf course itself is beautiful. I'm an avid golfer so golfing is a big thing in my life as well as my family's. We've got quite a big golfing community here. Beautiful facilities, the driving range, the chipping green, the putting green. Even though we're close enough to the CBD, I mean these shopping centres on our doorstep, it still feels like we're in the countryside. Once you're through the gates it's beautiful, it's tranquil, it's peaceful. It's the perfect lifestyle just to stay in this estate where everything is at your fingertips. One of the most important considerations for anyone purchasing at the Eye of Africa over and above the lifestyle is the security. We have a clear view fence surrounding the entire perimeter of the estate. The technology used on this fence is fibre optic detection and we can hone in directly to any disturbance or intrusion and the security company is immediately alerted and can react to that exact point. Purchases have a number of options when buying at the Eye of Africa. The developers have opened three new villages offering different kinds of stands. We have magnificent stands on one of the copies and we have two cluster offerings within the Eye of Africa. The stone quarter development where we have three and four-bedroomed homes, completed homes starting from 2.7 million round and Origins cluster development where we have slightly larger clusters, 320 square metres starting from 4.3 million round. They're both beautifully appointed with fully integrated SMEG appliances and lots to offer. They're proving very, very popular with purchasers who don't want to engage with an architect or a builder and are wanting to come into their estate and buy a fully completed home. Well this spot up here on Panorama Drive really captures the Eye of Africa, the magnificent mountain in the backdrop, the beautiful dams, the fairways and the magnificent bushfield. I think this is the Eye of Africa. Enjoying the tranquility of nature while also having the city on your doorstep. The Eye of Africa Gulf and Residential Estate offers a lifestyle that is the best of both worlds. Go to privateproperty.co.za, watch the neighbourhood videos and find your dream home.
