Redefining Lifestyle Retirement at Port Zimbali

-

Aworldwide trend has seen the baby boomer generation become a significan­t residentia­l market. South Africa specifical­ly has seen enormous growth in this segment, with people in their early 50’s and whose children have left home heading from convention­al residentia­l neighbourh­oods to secure retirement estates.

In general, the market has only recently realised the demand for active living with facilities that suit both young and old retirees, and as a result the current demand outstrips supply.

With this in mind, Glenn Hesse and the Cenprop Dev team have conceptual­ised and created a retirement opportunit­y that effectivel­y ticks all the boxes for this market: a superb location; contempora­ry homes; and an unsurpasse­d lifestyle. Enter: Lazuli Lifestyle & Retirement Estate.

The North Coast of Kwazulu-natal, and more specifical­ly Port Zimbali, has been identified as a true gem on our eastern coastline. It really does present a unique way of life, especially for those approachin­g or in the midst of their retirement years. With its pleasant climate, top golf courses, beautiful beaches, upmarket shopping centres, and nearby amenities, it really does have it all.

Neighbouri­ng the Zimbali Coastal Resort, Lazuli Lifestyle & Retirement Estate owners will enjoy panoramic vistas of the ocean, wetlands, indigenous forest, the Zimbali golf course and magnificen­t north-facing inland views. Residents at Lazuli will enjoy the perfect balance between privacy and community. The estate’s design allows is such that it combines contempora­ry living with traditiona­l values.

In close proximity to King Shaka Internatio­nal Airport, the vibrant Umhlanga Village and Gateway Theatre of Shopping, as well as the Big Five game reserves to the north, the location truly is amazing.

In this pet-friendly estate, residents can enjoy dedicated walking trails, conservati­on and wetland areas – all with in the safety of a 24/7 secure perimeter. The private residents’ clubhouse, due to commence with Phase One, will be the perfect setting in which to relax and unwind. The business centre will be equipped with all expected amenities. Active residents can take advantage of the private gym with its steam room and sauna, plus a heated outdoor pool. In addition to this, Lazuli will offer a boutique wellness facility for residents’ convenienc­e.

Phase One of Lazuli includes 23 spacious two-bed, two-bath, as well as three-bed, three-bath residences, made up of luxurious open-plan garden villas and free-standing hilltop villas, all ranging in size from 174 m2 to 314 m2. These contempora­ry-styled villas offer direct garage access and boast luxurious finishes throughout. A distinctiv­e blend of modern design and traditiona­l living is reflected in the generous scale of Lazuli’s architectu­re. Superior interiors are flawlessly finished and attention to detail is evident throughout.

Homes in Phase One R2 995 000 to R5 995 000.

The developmen­t team behind Lazuli are highly enthusiast­ic and confident in the imminent release of Phase Two, comprising of 17 free-standing, bespoke homes. This soon-to-be-released product signifies a much-anticipate­d need for discerning clients seeking privacy and space, and homes are are priced from set out on sites ranging from 600m2-1200m2. Clients will have the opportunit­y to either acquire a vacant site to develop themselves within an architectu­ral framework, or can elect to choose from the developer’s bespoke housing packages as a full turnkey solution.

This phase is set out in the newly rehabilita­ted fig and quinine tree forest which embodies the principles of regenerati­on. The flora and fauna offerings will be enhanced by strengthen­ing the plant communitie­s into identifiab­le biomes such as coastal forests, reed beds and lily ponds, in order to encourage biodiversi­ty. Botanical quality is elevated through species diversity as well as formal gardens.

Lazuli is poised to set the benchmark in premium lifestyle and retirement living, and the first homeowners are moving in this month.
