Emberton Estate – the countdown has begun

By The Crest Magazine18/08/20154 Mins Read

After much speculation, Emberton Estate will launch this August, offering an affordable solution for young professionals and others looking to enjoy secure estate living with all the perks, with prices from R1 175 000

Picture the scene … You get home to your apartment in the heart of the Upper Highway, get changed and run along a scenic trail to the heated lap pool to burn some calories before heading to a restaurant to meet friends – all without leaving your front gate!

But that’s not all. The new Emberton Estate offers an enviable lifestyle for young professionals, families, retirees and anyone who wants the convenience of working and playing in one place. Set on the corner of Old Main Road, Hillcrest and Ashley Drive, the estate is perfectly positioned for top schools, shopping centres and golf courses. And with almost instant access to the M13, the daily commute just got a whole lot easier – no matter where you work.

After work, parents can enjoy a drink at the traditional English pub, safe in the knowledge that young children are having fun in their very own entertainment area. Meanwhile, teenagers keep in shape at the Miami Beach-inspired outdoor gym and meet at the seated fire pits to relax and socialise. Even when the weather turns sour, there’s an indoor gaming room to keep them occupied.

Facilities include:

  • An on-site crèche
  • Restaurant and pub
  • Children’s indoor gaming room
  • 3km running/walking trail
  • Heated lap pool
  • Floodlit tennis court
  • Basketball hoops
  • Cricket nets

 

With all this on offer, you might expect a hefty price tag, but Emberton Estate is well placed for first-time buyers and investors, as well as being an attractive option for parents concerned about getting their offspring on to the property ladder. The two-bed, two-bathroom units might be more appealing for investors and young families, with prices starting from R1,25-million and a likely rental income of between R8 000 and R10 000 a month. This is a sector of the market that is sorely neglected in the Upper Highway and interest is sure to be strong.

“This is truly a haven for young and old to enjoy a safe, active lifestyle in a beautiful environment,” says Andrew Smith of Smiths Property Group. “We are very excited about this development. A massive gap in the market is about to be plugged!”

The estate will include a total of 502 units, from one-bedroom apartments to two-bedroom simplexes and three-bedroom freestanding homes. All are sectional title with reasonably priced levies.

Phase one sees the launch of 140 apartments and 10 freestanding houses – a huge drawcard for those looking to downsize without losing their outdoor space. First occupations are estimated to be in November 2016.

Pre-launch reservations are open with a launch celebration scheduled for August 28, so don’t delay. Visit www.emberton.co.za to request your Buyer’s Pack, take a look around the interactive map and secure your place in the Upper Highway’s most exciting new development.

Setting up home

Newlyweds Michelle and Dylan Potgieter are looking to move to a secure community in the Upper Highway, where they grew up, staying close to family and friends.

“We’re looking for a property with 24-hour security and the added value that comes with a gated estate,” says Michelle. “Looking to the future, an on-site crèche and child-friendly facilities are essential.”

“There are a number of estates in the area, but nothing that met our criteria within our price range – until now,” says Dylan. “Emberton Estate offers everything we’re looking for and being so close to the M13 is a massive bonus.”

    Are there currently apartments available to purchase or must we wait for the roll out of the next phase? If we must wait, do you know when the next roll out might be?
