Weekend Argus (Saturday Edition)
Fonteine Village/Malmesbury
Why Malmesbury
A WAVE of development is headed for the town of Malmesbury, in the wake of the multi-billion-rand upgrade of the N7, and the town’s close proximity to increasingly popular surrounding areas, such as the Riebeek Valley, the West Coast and the Paarl Winelands.
No longer a distant outback destination, Malmesbury has become home to young families, retirees and professionals seeking a safe and relaxed country lifestyle.
The climate here is temperate, and with the commute to Cape Town, its suburban centres of industry and Cape Town International Airport now not much longer than the commute from city suburbs. However, there is a severe shortage of homes available on the market, particularly in safe and affordable group housing, and retirement developments.
The Swartland Municipality (Malmesbury) is considered one of the best municipalities in the country. It has twice won the award for cleanest town in SA and has received the VUNA-award for being the best run and best administered municipality in the country.
Municipal authorities are actively involved and committed to enabling growth and development.
Why Fonteine Village
In response to the desperate need for quality retirement homes, Fonteine Village has permission to develop 511 units in this unique, lifestyle-oriented retirement complex.
Fonteine Village offers a rare opportunity for over-50s, who want to ensure they are surrounded by all the necessary amenities they may need in future, but who are not willing to compromise on their lifestyle, to own a home in the region where markets, events and festivals are par for the course.
The beautiful Mount Royal golf course is less than 2km away, and a new upmarket shopping centre is set for construction a stone’s throw from the village.
The Fonteine Village site is elevated, which ensures unfettered views of Table Mountain from the homes and recreation areas, and glorious views of the magnificent sunsets over the town.
