Aan de Wijnlanden is a new lifestyle estate located on the edge of the Stellenbosch Winelands, and the neighbour of De Wijnlanden Estate. When complete, the estate will encompass some 50 hectares comprising upward of 800 own title garden homes interspersed with open landscaped areas, walking trails and recreational facilities. The estate conveniently has two access points which lead into the highly secured residential area. The North gate provides access to Baden Powell Drive with direct connection to the N2 freeway and a short drive into Stellenbosch, past the esteemed Meerlust, Welmoed and Spier wine estates. The South gate provides access to Van Riebeeck Road which connects to Kuilsriver, Bellville and the Northern suburbs of Cape Town, or alternatively a short drive to Somerset West and the beaches of the Strand. The developers of Aan de Wijnlanden have focused on providing modern homes with modern amenities for today's highly mobile and connected society. While the homes will be built to the highest standards and quality of finishes, they are also energy efficient and "smart". Every home will be connected to a future proofed Fibre to the Home network, providing each homeowner with modern Broadband capabilities, enabling cable TV, ultra fast and reliable data (internet) connection, connection to the estate's state security system and a free inter-estate telephone system. With the Cape Town international airport less than 15 minutes away, the "smart" Aan de Wijnlanden village provides ideal homes for the new South African "flexi" worker that needs to work professionally from home, yet have easy access to other geographical areas, such as Gauteng. The estate provides equally for starter families and older "empty nesters" wishing to scale down their housing requirements. The large recreational complex will feature two squash courts, a tennis court, a swimming pool and a clubhouse / restaurant area, set on the edge of seven hectares of fynbos. In addition, a private pre-school will be provided in the complex for the benefit of the young working families that will be settling in the estate. The first phase of the development will be accessed from Baden Powell Drive at the main De Wijnlanden turnoff, opposite Meerlust Estate. A mix of 102 two and three bedroom homes are on offer from prices of R1 250 000. Upper end 3 bedroom double storey homes with swimming pool and built in braai will be on the market for under two million rand.
