 The spectacular Padafle Lifestyle Estate by Baldwin Properties has won two international property awards and it's easy to see why. No wonder it's such a passion project for Baldwin CEO Steve Brooks. Padafle in Somerset West was a deep vision of mine. ACI first owned the land. We bought the first piece of land from them six years ago. The Padafle precinct has got deep history. I love the historic aspect of this development. I really believe in this area. The estate has a variety of property offerings to suit everyone. Freestanding homes range from lovingly restored heritage houses designed by Sir Herbert Baker to modern duplex units, each with a private garden and swimming pool. For this season, our design duos decorated three top floor penthouse apartments that not only offer stunning views over the Strand golf course and the majestic mountain ranges but have easy access to the nearby clubhouse, posting a restaurant with wood-fired pizza as well as a gym fitted with the latest high-tech exercise equipment. From the Baldwin perspective, we love our apartments. So it was quite unusual to think that people were going to come in and change our product. I was a bit nervous at first but all it has done is shown innovation, new ideas and some creativity. There's a big trend in South Africa at the moment, moving towards security estates in beautiful locations and Padafle fits that description perfectly. Apart from being a stone's throw away from many beautiful wine farms, the estate is situated adjacent to the breathtaking flay teeming with bird life. It's also directly across the road from two convenient shopping malls and less than five minutes from the family-friendly Strand beach with its refreshing warm waters. Padafle lifestyle estate, truly rich in history and natural beauty.
