Invest in a Lifestyle at Sardinia Bay Golf & Wildlife Estate

Submitted by: Nicola

The newly launched Sardinia Bay Golf & Wildlife Estate just south of Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape offers everyone from young families to retirees the freedom of an exciting outdoor lifestyle on a beautiful eco-estate within the comfort of a secure, gated community.

Alan Moore, broker manager at Re/Max Bay Properties in Port Elizabeth, said that the 93 hectare residential estate was unique in Port Elizabeth, offering a secure, affordable, yet upmarket development on a golf estate within a wildlife conservancy that was close to some of the best beaches in the region.

He added that the idyllic setting made this the ideal place to scuba dive, kite surf or simply stroll along the beach. For golfers, there’s a nine-hole short golf course complete with well-run clubhouse. (Residents will automatically enjoy membership status). There is also a site for a community centre and sports club.

“The Sardinia Bay Golf & Wildlife Estate provides a value for money lifestyle choice within one of Port Elizabeth’s prime residential areas. Measuring between 905 and 1 180 m², the 110 sites are priced from R545 000 to R795 000. We are excited about bringing such a good offering to the market. Complete home packages are available from R1750 000 and, together with this wonderful lifestyle opportunity, are bound to grab attention,” he said.

Moore said that although the infrastructure for the entire development is complete throughout, Sardinia Bay Golf & Wildlife Estate would be constructed in two phases – starting with the 64 plots that have been released for sale this weekend – and rolled out with the best interests of home owners in mind. He said there was already interest in the development with seven sites have already been reserved.

He added that he expected the Sardinia Bay Golf & Wildlife Estate to have an extremely wide appeal. The free standing homes offer lock-up-and-go security, making them perfect for regular travellers or as second homes. Coupled with an outdoor lifestyle, these secure homes were ideal for couples with young families and the estate provided the perfect base for professionals wishing to relocate their families from big cities whilst continuing to commute to major commercial centres.

“The architectural style at Sardinia Bay is not unduly prescriptive and investors will have a wide range of choices of modern and eco-friendly exteriors and building materials that will perfectly complement the estate’s picturesque natural setting and outdoor lifestyle. Erik Voigt Architects has embraced the challenge of creating a development which embodies sustainability and we will strive to ensure that the development, as a whole, blends in seamlessly with the environment. As we head the Design Review Committee for the estate, we have drafted architectural guidelines which promote an eco-friendly and energy efficient development whilst being sensitive to the owners’ needs and tastes,” said respected local architect Erik Voigt.

Ian Christie, chief executive of Shield Homes, which is responsible for construction of the homes and assisting buyers to obtain finance, said one of the most appealing things about the Sardinia Bay Golf & Wildlife Estate was its close proximity to key locations. The estate is a stone’s throw away from Port Elizabeth - 12 minutes away from the airport, six minutes from the nearest shops and 15 minutes from the Port Elizabeth CBD. It is close to good schools, churches, gyms, medical centres, hospitals and shops, including the Bay West Mall which is already under construction and is expected to be Port Elizabeth’s largest shopping centre. Because Sardinia Bay Golf & Wildlife Estate lies within the Port Elizabeth urban boundary, it enjoys all the facilities and benefits by an established municipality.
