What defines a Super Estate?

A relatively new term has started cropping up in the real estate scene. One that defines the pinnacle of lifestyle estate livelihoods while also referring to modern and luxurious amenities a modern homeowner would expect from what surrounds their residence.
 

The term "Super Estate" will soon become a more popular saying. However, the concept behind this is nothing new and has existed globally for a few decades. From the perspective of a developer, a Super Estate usually encompasses 2000 residential offerings or more, and often offers facilities and amenities that work to sell the estate to the discerning homeowner.
 

You might be thinking - how is this any different from a "normal" estate?
 

Key Features
 

One of the key focus points a developer needs to accomplish is designing an estate that provides a safe haven for homeowners. Offering them the sort of lock-and-go lifestyle and security has become a vital selling point for many.
 

The function that truly sets a Super Estate apart from all others isn't necessarily the number of properties you have, but the amenities offered that make leaving your estate almost unnecessary. In essence, everything from schooling, shopping, and healthcare can be designed within as infrastructure that supports residents.
 

As such, a Super Estate MUST provide easy access to airports and all major highways as well as offer the above-mentioned amenities within their walls.
 

Satisfying a broader market
 

One might automatically assume that these nested cocoons are the domain of the very elite. And while it may be the case for some, Super Estates can also provide a cost-effective form of living for a broader market.
 

You may be expected to pay a premium price for your landscaping and security. However, when these costs are divided among a large group of homeowners those prices become more affordable. Otherwise known as an economy of scale - the larger the estate, the more people within that community are contributing to levies.
 

This also provides buyers and investors with the financial benefits of having transfer duties and bond registrations built into the price. Beyond this, developers of Super Estates are more aware of sustainability. This means that homes are built to be energy-efficient and low maintenance. They also tend to come with their own backup solar panels.
 

Practically speaking, Super Estates provides the sort of high-end lifestyle we all strive for while also factoring in affordability and accessibility for more South Africans.
