La Belle Vie ('a fine living') is an upmarket, secure cluster village with both a residential and commercial element on Welgevonden Estate in Stellenbosch. In a town awash with very basic apartments for student lets, La Belle Vie offers more upmarket finishes and great convenience for the discerning owner-occupier or investor. "La Belle Vie is an elegant development that is perfect for the modern professional who wants a quality lifestyle coupled with lock-up and go convenience," says Seeff's Mariette Bowen, who is marketing the development.
La Belle Vie's five separate clusters of three storeys each enjoy a unique character within Stellenbosch's village aesthetic, as can be seen from the architectural model depicted on the photograph. Priced at just over R800k for a two-bedroom unit of 60 m² (excluding the ± 6 m² balcony), these units can also be purchased at R50k higher if put into the rental pool, with a guaranteed rental of R4500 per month for one year from date of transfer.
Says Les Arlow, Director of Manhatten Developments: "We are able to offer this because we recognise the importance of giving our clients a secure return on their investment. The rental pool will be handled by our Stellenbosch franchise, and owners can be sure that prospective tenants will be properly screened."
The development will be completed around November 2007. A 5% deposit secures, all costs included except bond registration costs.
Says Bowen: "La Belle Vie will have a country village atmosphere. The proposed adjacent pure commercial section will house a Spar and restaurant, as well as a DVD outlet and one or two fast food outlets. Looking across the Welgevonden lake a stone's throw away, one has magnificent views of mountains, vineyards and orchards."
Every unit sells with one covered parking, with more unallocated parking on site. Finishes are of a high standard, and include granite countertops in the kitchens and stylish bathrooms. A sliding door gives access to the balconies/patios. Venetian blinds are also included.
Recently launched by Manhatten, almost 60% of the development has already been sold to a wide range of buyers and investors from all around the country. Says Arlow: "Given its location, surroundings, the high quality of the development and of course the attractive price, there can be no doubt that this is not only a fine investment but also a great place to own some property. The response to our launch and the sales that have taken place already speak for themselves."
