An exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully zoned and shovel-ready retirement development site in the most desirable retirement town in South Africa, in the Heart of the Garden Route. The property spans 5.5 hectares, ideally positioned with panoramic views of the Outeniqua Mountains and the Indian Ocean.
Current Status
• All zoning, environmental approvals, and site development plans are in place, ensuring immediate development potential.
• The frail care facility has been fully operational since 2016 and is licensed with the Department of Social Development. It provides professional nursing across assisted living, frail care, and dementia care. The scale of this facility sets the development apart from other retirement offerings.
Development Opportunity
• While construction beyond the frail care facility has not yet commenced, all planning, approvals, and designs – including individual house architectural drawings, roads, and services – are already complete. This allows a developer to step in and begin immediate rollout of the retirement estate with minimal upfront risk.
• Environmental Authorisation secured under the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) and EIA Regulations (2023). Approval covers clearance of vegetation, excavation for infrastructure, and development of:
- 57 free-standing homes
- 3 apartment blocks (±200 units)
- A Lifestyle Centre with communal amenities
- Internal roads, driveways, parking, and open spaces
- Civil services and electrical connections
• This regulatory milestone provides investors with confidence that all environmental and planning hurdles are cleared, making the project truly shovel-ready.
• Designed to meet the growing demand for integrated retirement solutions in South Africa’s coastal regions.
Infrastructure & Security
• Engineering services reports and planning completed for water, sewage, and related infrastructure – ready for implementation by the developer.
• 24-hour security provisioned in approved site plans.
• Low-maintenance building design standards ready for rollout.
Key Investment Highlights
• 5.5-hectare prime coastal property with panoramic sea and mountain views.
• Zoning, site development, and Environmental Authorisation complete.
• Operational frail care facility as a cornerstone anchor since 2016.
• Fully approved plans and infrastructure designs in place, allowing immediate development.
• Ideal for retirement and lifestyle development companies seeking turnkey opportunities in one of the most desirable geographical locations in South Africa.

The development was strategically designed to be executed in three phases, offering several advantages for both the developer and investors. By rolling out the project in stages, initial phases—such as the operational frail care facility—can generate income that supports subsequent construction, reducing upfront financial exposure. Additionally, selling the 57 free-standing plots in the early phases will generate significant cash flow, providing strong financial support for the development of the apartment blocks in later phases. Phasing also allows the developer to test market demand, refine unit types and pricing, and scale lifestyle and wellness amenities proportionally to resident occupancy. Additionally, it provides flexibility to adapt later phases based on evolving market trends or regulatory requirements, while ensuring that each stage complies with approved planning and environmental authorisations. Overall, the phased approach balances risk management, revenue generation, and operational efficiency, making the project more attractive to potential investors.

In addition to the current 5.5-hectare site, the neighbouring properties are also available for acquisition, offering developers the opportunity to significantly scale the development (this will make it 16.5 hectares in total). Importantly, the existing infrastructure planning was done with this possibility in mind, ensuring seamless integration and cost efficiency should an expansion be pursued.
