New residential area for Bonza Bay

10 Oct 2006
A new residential area is being launched in October above the popular Bonza Bay beach in East London. The 20 hectare site also borders the northern bank of the Quenera River. Future plans for the area include a townhouse complex, a church and a shopping centre.

The area will comprise 206 freehold erven at Bonza Views that will be released in three phases. The first phase of 49 sites is now selling at prices ranging from R280k to R650k, says local agent Hanlie Bassingthwaighte.

The sites are located within a pristine coastal dune forest area. The developers have paid attention to the preservation of the environment, and environmental compliance has been a critical factor. The continued sensitivity and care taken in developing the site will also be assured through the application of a lifestyle architectural design manual, providing for a harmonious visual character for the built environment.

Buyers will be able to design their homes to suit their own requirements and employ builders of their choice, however, all plans must be approved by the developers' nominated architect to ensure architectural design manual compliance.

Comments Bassingthwaighte: "With all amenities close by and the prospect of a new municipal link road in the pipeline, accessible and affordable country coastal living is now within reach. Primary and high schools in nearby Gonubie also make this a perfect family paradise."

The Quenera River estuary is a popular fishing spot and important breeding ground for numerous fish species. This wetland area is well-known by birding enthusiasts as home to fish eagles, kingfishers and egrets. The variety of birdlife includes heron, Knysna loerie, crowned hornbill and red-billed wood hoepoe. Small antelope are also found in the area. The coastal dune forest is home to a number of indigenous tree species including red and white Milkwoods, Silver Oak, Wild Fig, Clivia and Gwenia.
