Build your dream home in The Ridge Estate - Cape Town’s most desired location

06 Dec 2022

Cape Town’s City Bowl is without a doubt a desirable place to live. But it lacked a secure, luxury estate that could offer homeowners access to the vibrancy of the inner city as well as the tranquillity and beauty of nature and more suburban living. That’s all changed with the building of The Ridge Estate.

Set high on the slopes of Lion’s Head, this architectural marvel offers sweeping 360-degree views of Table Bay, the city and of course, Table Mountain.

It’s the first of its kind, and demand is understandably high. There are only 25 plots in total, 50% of which have already been sold. The Ridge Estate is also the only available real estate suited for development in the city bowl.

“I have been involved in many successful security estate developments over the years and have noticed one common denominator. The first one always does the best. As the limited plots sell out and the top structures get developed, and the estate becomes more established, the values will increase,” says John Edgar, Seeff area specialist. 

“Security estates have significantly higher values than surrounding properties. There is no doubt that a completed and established Ridge Estate will become one of the most sought-after addresses in Cape Town,” he adds.

The Ridge Estate comprises two unique residential housing estates: The Ridge Estate Villas, and The Ridge Estate Residences.

 

The Villas comprise 7 exclusive plots, with enhanced views and striking architecture, while The Residences consist of 18 plots. Both sites offer the unique microclimate of Tamboerskloof and unrivalled views of the city, providing a panoramic outlook that encompasses Table Mountain, Devil’s Peak, the entire width of the City Bowl and Signal Hill; with the ocean serving as a glittering backdrop.

Buyers can select a concept home, designed with the guidance of top South African architects. Alternatively, they can also engage directly with the architect and builder to create their own dream home, following the architectural guidelines that aim to preserve and enhance the natural landscape.

Some of the first homes are nearing planning completion, and will give life to The Ridge Estate's design philosophy - using sea and mountain to inspire a sense of integration and a natural sense of calm and privacy. Already, they feel holistically considered, the landscape integrated into the planning so that these homes are anchored and settled in their surroundings. Some of these homes are likely to reach market values in excess of R50 million on completion.

 

To ensure privacy for property owners and green space, a three-metre planting corridor is provided between the plots. Individual house views are protected with a height limit imposed on each stand.

The Table Mountain range is home to an abundance of locally indigenous plants that thrive in this unique climate. In honouring the delicate balance of fynbos and the rare veld, the plants in The Ridge Estate are entirely indigenous.

The lifestyle of the Ridge Estate is one without compromise.

Direct access to Lion’s Head and Table Mountain means that one is never far from a hiking or walking trail, offering endless exploration.

The estate itself is built upon Peninsula Shale Renosterveld. This special natural heritage is honoured in the expansive gardens, shared areas and within the gardens of private homes, inviting you to enhance your relationship with the outdoors.

Security is paramount and includes strict access control in an exclusive entrance, guard houses, monitored and manned 24/7 security, electrified perimeter fencing and CCTV.

Should you choose to leave, the ever-changing delights of the city and Atlantic Seaboard are just a few minutes away. Here you might dine in some of the world’s most recognised restaurants, sip cocktails on rooftop bars, soak in art and architecture and enjoy shopping in boutiques that reflect the incredible design talent present in the city.

Education, healthcare and recreational needs are well catered for, with excellent primary and high schools, as well as doctors in the immediate area.

The Ridge Estate is a place for those looking to create their dream home in a harmonious environment, without compromise. The semigration from Joburg to Cape Town and the influx of foreign investors looking for a sure thing means that the remaining plots will soon be gone.

Plots are priced from R10,000,000 (inclusive of VAT).

Plots range from 500sqm - 1012sqm

NB: No transfer duties are applicable
