“These factors, plus the fact that these properties offer investors such superb ‘bang’ for their proverbial ‘buck’, and have already shown substantial capital growth since the estate’s inception in 2011, have ensured that La Como has become a Johannesburg estate address of choice, and homes here remain highly sought after,” says Ferreira.
“Pam Golding Properties is immensely honoured to now be marketing the outstanding properties, which we believe offer a once in a lifetime investment opportunity.”
Michael Stylianou, chief executive officer of Aspen Development Company, says the resale value of properties at La Como Lifestyle Estate has shown substantial growth by an average of some 12% to 18% growth on investment year-on-year.

According to Ferreira, La Como is ideally situated in what is a bustling, fast-developing region, making it the perfect place to settle long term. Set in a lavish 80ha greenbelt, amenities within the estate include four parks, a clubhouse with restaurant, gym, heated pool and conference facilities. Some 200 homes have so far been developed on the estate’s 521 generously sized stands, ranging from 500sqm to 3 000sqm in size.
“While the estate has a country ambiance, it is centrally situated close to freeways and other arterial roads, offering easy access to OR Tambo International Airport and greater Johannesburg, as well as a number of outstanding schools, shopping, entertainment and other facilities, “ says Ferreira.
“We expect La Como to experience rapid growth over the next two years with demand continuing to be driven by factors such as its superb location and its state-of-the-art security, which enables residents to enjoy a concern-free country lifestyle.”
Ferreira says what appeals to many people when it comes to buying property in the estate is the fact that property developers, Dimension Property Group and Aspen Development Company, who also developed international property award-winning sister estate, Aspen Nature Estate, offer a full turnkey building solution.

This allows the estate to not only maintain quality standards, but also ensure that aesthetically the architecture fits in with the estate style guide,” says Ferreira.
“It also enables buyers the opportunity to personalise their dream home with the added benefit of being able to take occupation in the near future.”
Byron Caloyannis, project director at Dimension Property Group, says La Como’s lifestyle centre offers tennis and squash courts, a heated training pool and fully-equipped gym, as well as a family-friendly restaurant, while other amenities within the estate include a number of children’s playgrounds, nature trails, a bird sanctuary and even a gazebo viewing deck which overlooks the scenic lake on the estate. Residents also have access to fibre to the home, should they want this option.
As it is situated on a protected greenbelt, Caloyannis says the developers have been determined to ensure individual homes and building structures blend as seamlessly into the natural environment as possible, adhering to contemporary, bespoke South African designs throughout the estate.
“Walking around the estate grounds can be surprisingly deceptive in that it gives the impression that you have stepped out into the local countryside, and you would never think for a minute that you were in the heart of a bustling metropolis,” says Caloyannis.
This four bedroom, three bathroom home in La Como Lifestyle Estate has an undercover patio with built-in braai. It is on the market for R4.2 million - click here to view.“The indigenous plants and trees teeming with an abundance of birdlife, together with the use of natural building materials such as timber and stone, help to exude a modern ‘outdoorsy’ back-to-nature ambience. This is a look and feel we have purposely attempted to create. And in addition to the grounds and building style, the onsite nature trails and bird sanctuary make La Como a nature lover’s paradise.”
Caloyannis says when it comes to location, La Como’s proximity to major transport nodes and OR International Airport make it ideal for business people and executive commuters who may travel frequently, or the perfect investment for companies requiring accommodation for employees who travel regularly.
It is situated just ten minutes from the Rhodesfield Gautrain station, 12 minutes from the N12 highway and a mere five minutes from the R21. It is also close to a number of top-notch schools, shopping malls, hospitals and clinics allowing easy access to everything a homeowner could possibly need within a relatively small radius, he says.
“Estate living, particularly in Johannesburg, is increasingly in demand as busy families are seeking a relaxed, outdoor lifestyle close to their place of work and amenities. La Como offers all of this, and it is also of great appeal that children can play safely in public areas while riding their bikes in the streets of the estate,” says Caloyannis.

However, despite comparatively lower levies, residents still benefit from a variety of world-class amenities as well as a top-of-the-range security system.”
Ferreira says given the excellent facilities on offer, there is something for everyone at La Como. “This makes investing in an estate such as this a very popular choice for families. That being said, with La Como, property owners ranging in age from 35 to 70 years, it is also an ideal location for people to spend their retirement years.”
In addition, he says access to other forms of entertainment, amenities and services situated a stone’s throw from the estate and also conveniently located within, makes it possible for residents to access a range of added benefits and services they would not otherwise necessarily have access to.
