Harbour Island attracts buyers and investors to Gordon's Bay

Harbour Island is a paradise on the ocean and a big draw-card in Gordon’s Bay for buyers and investors, says Louelle Lubbe, Seeff’s licensee for the area. It is located in the heart of Gordon’s Bay at the foot of the majestic Hottentots Holland Mountain range hugging the False Bay coastline.

The Blue Flag marina estate offers a unique opportunity to live in a fully functioning harbour with its canals, very reminiscent of Venice, she says. Unlike any other estate in the country, Harbour Island offers a unique lifestyle where luxury and nature live together in harmony.

This unique man made harbour was built 25 years ago and today boasts property worth over R2.5 billion. Harbour Island can be compared to Thesen Island in Knysna or Marina da Gama in Zandvlei, however its location with a commute of under an hour to the Cape Town CBD makes it ideal for buyers wanting to relocate to the Western Cape from any of the other provinces.

Ms Lubbe says further that when making this comparison you could also look at the incredible value for money that this estate offers regardless of the fact that the median property values have doubled over the last ten years.

The average transaction price stands at R1.8 million for a sectional title unit and R4.25 million for a full title property, however what these properties offer cannot be beaten for value, she adds. From the excellent security, landscaped gardens, semi-private beach and having your yacht moored on your doorstep not to mention living in harmony within this remarkable ecosystem.

The Marina estate covers 21.67 ha with 506 sectional title units and 213 freehold properties. A luxury apartment could be yours starting at just R1.2 million and a free standing home starting at R3.5 million, however a state of the art home that defines the word luxury could be yours for up to R25 million hugging the ocean and your mooring on your doorstep.

This secure estate is also attractive for those prudent investors looking to secure a rental income in an estate that is well maintained ensuring the increased value of their investment.

Taking a stroll along the canals you are within walking distance and private access to popular restaurants, the hotel with spa facilities and a conference centre.

This estate has so much to offer and the fisherman’s village of Gordon’s Bay is the perfect antidote to the crazy hustle and bustle of city life. She says that waking up in this estate makes even the most mundane Monday feel like magic.
