Set on 222 hectares of prime land between Inanda and Fischer Roads, Cotswold Downs is an up-market, low density residential golf and lifestyle estate, just 5km from the Hillcrest CBD. With the widening of Inanda Road, the development of Curro HCA High School (within walking distance of the estate) and the planned rebirth of the Waterfall Shopping Centre, this looks set to be an exciting new hub for the Upper Highway.
Development at Cotswold Downs began in 2005 and, despite a temporary slowdown, it’s back in full swing with almost 100 completed homes and more than 40 new homes scheduled to begin construction in 2013.
The estate consists of eight villages with scope for 697 residential properties, with a selection of beautiful options to buy off-plan. Cotswold Downs Real Estate is dedicated to marketing these properties, simplifying the buying process and ensuring that residents get the luxury homes they desire, with packages starting from R2.1 million.
Golfer’s paradise
Central to the Cotswold Downs Estate is a magnificent 18-hole Championship golf course, designed by Peter Matkovich. It is a model of excellent design, where golf and nature go hand in hand. The topography provides for some spectacular views from tee boxes, fairways and greens, while the wetlands, ponds and dams create outstanding natural water features. As a finishing touch, bent grass greens create a superior putting surface.
The Golf Club recently hosted the World Amateur Golf Championship competition. This underlines the rave reviews that Cotswold Downs Golf Course has received from golfers and journalists, both local and international.
The estate understands the fundamental concerns and aspirations of South African families, and has provided facilities to deliver that lifestyle to discerning families. There are more than 10km of jogging and 5km of nature trails available to residents, as well as cycling opportunities.
The Nqutu River flows through the estate and the natural wetlands and ponds it creates attract a stunning diversity of birdlife, with over 220 species documented to date. The forest can be explored at one’s leisure, with the chance of spotting forest-dwelling mammals.
Children are well catered for and a number of open parks are strategically positioned around the estate, allowing kids to congregate for a game of soccer or cricket, or just to chill and catch up on the latest news in a safe environment.
New developments
A recent initiative is the second entrance on Fischer Road. In addition, funds have been set aside for sanitation, street lighting, booms and speed control measures. These positive announcements have been welcomed by residents and the market has responded favourably, with sales enquiries increasing significantly.
“The official Cotswold Downs re-launch will take place in the near future and we expect sales volumes to increase even further as the market embraces the re-launch prices and initiatives,” says marketing manager Andrew Smith.

I trust everybody is still thinking about all the money that has been “lost” in this fine establishment? Not by the person that “lost” it but by the scores of people that were duped into thinking they were purchasing property – as long as theres a forum for people to leave comments about cotswold Downs – I will ALWAYS leave a message reminding everyone how some people get away with crime on this scale…… only in SA!
Nice to know everything is going well with the estate – perhaps you should question the people that have lost their savings because of Wakefields Estate Agency find out how well their life is after paying to help develop the course and not having anything to show for it.
