The Hawaan Forest Estate is arguably one of the finest gated estates in the country. It not only boasts one of the best lifestyles, but excellent investment value as well, says Brett Botsis, Licensee for Seeff Umhlanga.
The location is prime with the estate straddled by the Hawaan Forest to the north, Indian Ocean to the east and rolling hills to the west. The forest is a protected coastal dune forest, the last of its kind and dates back some 18 000 years.
Umhlanga is one of the country’s top wealthy neighbourhoods and lies on the KwaZulu Natal Northcoast, offering easy access to the King Shaka Airport. It is home to the large Gateway Shopping Centre and a bustling business and commercial sector. Nearby, is the Mount Edgecombe Country Club for golfing enthusiasts.
The estate is 63ha in extent, 42ha of which is the forest reserve. It is home to 100 luxury homes with several vacant plots still available.
The median selling price now stands at around R13 million, 37% up over the last five years. Vacant land sells from around R3,7 million. The houses on offer are quite spectacular and can range to about R50 million at the top end.
Generally, prices range from around R8 million to R26 million for one of the estate’s finest homes. The ultra-luxurious architectural masterpiece integrates with the forest with earthy colours and natural materials and a blend of forest and ocean views. It offers many unique architectural and design features and finishes.
At over 900sqm, the home offers scale, space and seamless flow with several living rooms and five bedroom suites. The living areas open to an outdoor entertainment patio and swimming pool. A Jacuzzi and sauna add to the home’s unique offering while a wine tasting cellar, with views of the swimming pool, will have guests leaving with an adventurous spirit. The all-imported, gourmet kitchen is ultra-modern and the open-plan kitchen has left nothing out for aspiring chefs including concealed appliances.
The home is surrounded by beautiful landscaping that blends with the forest surroundings. Additional features include garaging for eight vehicles and staff accommodation. The estate features excellent security with a guardhouse, 24-hour guards and patrols, electric fencing and CCTV.
