CONSTRUCTION NEWS...
As we approach the halfway mark in the construction of Phase One, so the face of the Estate rapidly changes. The new homes, along with those under construction and the completion of the Health Care Centre, clearly demonstrate the layout of the Estate and how the open space is cleverly used for best effect.
Our top of the range Show House, the Skua, is also complete and visitors are welcome to come and see what this home has to offer. It really is spectacular and will no doubt be on show for a short time only. If you are interested in a beautiful home with lagoon views, we invite you to come and take a look.

RETIRE TO KNYSNA IN LUXURY. YOU'VE EARNED IT...

JULY 2011 NEWSLETTER |
REQUIREMENTS OF A 'LIFESTYLE ESTATE'
Knysna Lifestyle Estate is exactly as its name states,
and a lifestyle estate must contain many elements in
order to label itself so.
It needs to have visual beauty in both the architecture
and natural surrounds and KLE is certainly seeing to
both.
It needs to be able to comfortably accommodate our
family and visitors, so that we are able to lead a life with
as much or as little social interaction as we desire.
It needs to offer security so that we feel free to live in an
un-caged manner and KLE has not only chosen one of
the safest areas in which to develop this ideal lifestyle
estate, but has every security measure in place that
luxurious living would demand.
A lifestyle estate also needs to offer activity and once
again KLE is ensuring that there are enough
comprehensive facilities to suit every need and mood.
Lastly, a lifestyle estate of this nature needs to offer the
luxury of assistance to all of us who are always at one
time or another in need of such care. Certainly we all
deserve some gentle loving care when we are ill or
feeling a little frail and none of us ever feel like becoming
a burden on family and friends. For this reason KLE will
have care of this nature available with assisted living
being provided within an individual's very own home.
For a nominal fee, depending on the specific
requirement, one may have the care and assistance, on
tap so to speak, through carefully chosen caregivers.
This is certainly a luxury that we all deserve and should
take full advantage of. After all, golden years are to be
enjoyed to the full, and allowing ourselves such
indulgence should be mandatory, without question.
NON-BURDEN BUILDING.
When we find ourselves living on such a glorious piece
of earth with such spectacular views overlooking the
tranquil waters of the Knysna lagoon and the
surrounding hills, the last thing we are going to want is to
have the peace disturbed with the construction of a
house next door. KLE; even though a developing estate,
has cleverly made sure that all the homeowners living
on the estate will not feel as if they are living on a
construction site.
There will be separate access points onto the property
for the construction team, 24 hour security and the
contractors will create a screening to cordon off the
building areas.
CONVENIENCE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS FROM
JOHANNESBURG...
For those currently living on the Highveld, and perhaps
wanting to live closer to the ocean, in the mild climate of
the Garden Route. For those considering the Knysna
Lifestyle Estate as a valuable enquiry, convenience has
come your way. A new agent has recently been
appointed and will be handling all enquiries from
Gauteng.

HEALTHCARE CENTRE BY EARLY 2012...
We all get ill from time to time and it is never very
pleasant. What's often worse though is to have to get
into the car and drive across town to see a doctor and
then have to find a pharmacy that is open in order to give
us our medication, when all that time wasted with
travelling would have been much nicer spent in bed
recovering. Now living within the Knysna Lifestyle Estate makes this tedious affair far more pleasant.
A health-care facility is currently under construction
within the estate with the first wing due for completion
early 2012. It will be fully equipped with 24 hour nursing.
The health-care facility will provide a service for postoperative
patients too, as well as those requiring 24 hour
attention.
AN EXCITING ALTERNATIVE...
Many of us once lived in large lavish houses where our
children ran amuck, pets scurried from one end of the
house to the other and the use of an intercom to call one
another for dinner was often desired. Nowadays, with
children who have flown the coop and fewer domestic
necessities, we simply desire a luxurious abode in which
to live that is large enough for comfort, but small enough
to feel less burdensome by extra un-necessary space.
KLE has now released an alternative for those of us who
seek more comfort with less space.
We have attached the plan of the latest release which
will offer 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and open-plan living
areas. The total extent being 155 sqm. This home will be
on offer from R2.195 Million.
SO MANY ASPECTS TO CONSIDER...
We need to make sure that we choose a safe area
where we will not be troubled by crime and to date
Knysna certainly seems to fit this necessity.
We have to make sure that we choose a place where our
children can visit us. It is common knowledge in today's
age that we should never choose a place in which to
spend our golden years, that are chosen in order to be
near our children – nowadays children spread
themselves across the world and often move, following
their career path and dreams. KLE is developed in such
a manner to encourage visitors into spending time on
the estate. We have to ensure that we have all the creature
comforts that we deserve. We have done our time
parenting and looking after our direct and indirect
community and so, when choosing a place to spend our
glorious golden years we should insist on luxury and
amenities within a stone's throw.
Knysna Lifestyle Estate fits the bill on this account too…
And so, here above are just a few examples of what we
need to consider when making the decision on where to
spend our golden years and it is rather comforting to
know that Lifestyle Estates such as this one have
thought of almost everything so that the decision
becomes easier to make. |

HEALTHCARE CENTRE BY EARLY 2012...
Construction of the first wing of the Healthcare Centre has already begun.
We have fantastic news for residents that may require the amenities at the Healthcare Centre – Construction of the first wing of the facility has commenced and is due for completion in early 2012.
VISIT US – YOU'LL BE AMAZED AT OUR PROGRESS...
Property sales are going well, despite the current market, which tells us we've created real, relevant value for potential buyers. In addition to an extensive national advertising campaign we'll also be travelling to major cities within the Western Cape, Eastern Cape and Gauteng to showcase this one-of-a-kind luxury retirement estate. And judging from the extremely positive feedback from our three initial exhibitions we expect an exponential increase in enquiries and many new residents.
For those who have not yet visited the Knysna Lifestyle Estate, and who are planning a trip to Knysna for Easter or for the many festivals due to be held here, we'd like to extend an invitation to visit us on site. And even if you did visit us before, there has been so much impressive progress that you probably won't recognise it – so we invite you back to see what we've been up to! |

RETIRE IN LUXURY |
Launched in October 2010 the new Knysna Lifestyle Estate, consisting of 250 spacious homes, offer the epitome of comfort, style and "room to breathe". The developer has built four show houses, two of them fully furnished, in order to showcase the 35 homes available in phase 1. Additionally, vital infrastructure such as roads have already been completed, along with landscaping and the security entrance to the development.
According to developer Ian Raubenheimer only five homes per hectare are being built on this prime 52 hectare location, compared to as many as 15 homes per hectare on higher density estates in a similar price range. “This means that all of the spacious two- and three-bedroom homes will not encroach on another’s privacy, even when enjoying the outdoors. This is especially important to Knysna residents who enjoy some of the best weather South Africa has to offer.”

"The estate will also house a 20-bed healthcare facility, luxury clubhouse, restaurant and bar, gym, heated pool, sauna, bowling green, tennis courts, billiard room, library and card rooms," Raubenheimer continued. "There's also an easy 8 km walk which meanders through the fynbos and 24-hour access control and security patrol provide peace of mind within the estate."
"We realise that you've worked hard to attain the lifestyle you enjoy today," Raubenheimer concluded. "Why should you have to forfeit that tomorrow? We believe that you should be allowed to enjoy the finer things in life – always. That is why we have created Knysna Lifestyle Estate – a unique living experience."

‘CARPE DIEM’ – SEIZE THE DAY… BETTER SOONER THAN LATER |
Do you remember when only birds twittered, goats browsed, blackberries were fruit, crocs were reptilian and green was just a colour? If you’ve been around for half a century or more you will have noticed our lives have changed a great deal. Nowadays we watch world events live in our living rooms, we won’t go anywhere without a phone in our pocket, we socialise and pay bills over the internet and information is a mere google away. We also never ever get lost. And we are living longer, healthier lives. It’s difficult to even imagine the future
You’ve worked hard for several decades, weathered political upheavals and global recessions, all to achieve success and prosperity. You’ve raised a family and your children are now finding their own way in the world. So what’s next on your agenda?
If you are considering relocating to the coast, or even if you already live in the vicinity, Knysna Lifestyle Estate may be the best answer. It’s an up-market residential development geared towards mature, discerning buyers who want to live life to its fullest.
Set on undulating slopes in scenic surroundings, Knysna Lifestyle Estate boasts exceptionally low density with only five houses per hectare. This means plenty of space and privacy…. but certainly not isolation. At the heart of the 52 hectare estate lies the Clubhouse incorporating a pub, restaurant, billiards and cards rooms, library, gym and sauna. Here, residents can relax and socialise – meet friends and make new ones. For those who enjoy outdoor physical activity, there’s a wonderful walking or jogging trail, plus tennis courts, bowling green and heated swimming pool adjacent to the Clubhouse.
The homes are elegant and luxurious. There are nine design options – offering two or three bedrooms, spacious under cover patios and double garages. All have spacious living areas – there will be no need to sell off treasured furniture… unless of course you want to get rid of your mother’s gold brocaded Victorian chaise longue! Large windows and glass doors add to the sense of space and take full advantage of natural light and the splendid views. Attention to detail is evident throughout and the finish is immaculate. Kitchens come fully fitted with top range appliances – so, yes, the old stove must go! Garages are larger than average to make parking easy along with plenty of work space. All residences are free standing and the neighbours not too close. Your garden is fully maintained by the estate staff so you have the freedom to ‘lock up and go’ whenever you want to.
Within the grounds are large open areas with small picturesque dams and meandering trails through fynbos. Peace and tranquillity pervades the landscape. Nature loving residents can roam freely and safely. The estate is totally secure with 24-hour manned access plus regular security patrols. |
