NicP EXCITING LIFESTYLE DEVELOPMENT AT FARMYARD · read more »

The Aloes Lifestyle Estate will be developed next to The Farmyard where the developers have come up with a unique, innovative secure living concept to blend in with the natural environment.

The effective management of Architectural and Landscaping guidelines will ensure the conservation of much of the natural environment. This together with a variety of architecture, state of the art security system and infrastructure will firmly establish this estate to be the most sought after estate in Polokwane.

For practical reasons and to create exclusivity for the most discerning buyer, it was decided to divide the estate into two entities.

The first phase release in November 2010 will be known as Macadamia @ The Aloes with a second phase hot on its heels, in The Aloes Lifestyle Estate, suited to younger families, shall be known as Mountain Ridge @ The Aloes.

The size of the estate serving various needs within the Polokwane community will ensure that the estate can afford to have only the best security, landscaping and infrastructure, but also have sufficient funds to effectively manage and maintain the Aloes.

The Aloes Lifestyle Estate will be the first multi-facet security estate of it’s kind in Polokwane. Residents will have the privilege of having their own security control point even after passing through the main gates of the estate. This will further raise the benchmark for unsurpassed levels of security, privacy and peace of mind living.

The large stands of up to 1200m² enhance the distinct characteristic of this area which ensures privacy and an uncluttered lifestyle. Clusters targeting the exclusive lock–up requirements of the Polokwane market are being considered.

The Aloes Lifestyle Estate will hold an open day on 23 November 2010 at 15:00 as well as 18:00 to introduce the development to the public. Contact Hettie 082 446 2738 or Eveleen 082 446 7377 for further information

The development will be partnered by Macadamia Villages who provided this information.

It’s all about Planning!
‘How will I spend my time?’
‘Where will I live?’
‘How much money will I have and how much will I need?’ ‘What do I want to do with the rest of my life?’
These are just some of the many questions that you might find yourself asking when you start thinking about your retirement. A bit overwhelming isn’t it? For this reason, it is vital to have a guide to help you navigate through this new terrain.

The informed choice for retirement

The need for Assisted Villages in South Africa has become a necessity rather than a luxury, with a demand so great that potential buyers often land up on a waiting list.
Very few South African towns have the privilege of any or even sufficient facilities. In most cases the elderly residents are left with no option than to relocate.

We believe it is important to find a village where you will feel “at home”.

Macadamia Villages guarantee a sustainable lifestyle with the focus on retirement priorities.

When and Where did Macadamia Villages start?

During the transition year of 1994 we took transfer of the land on which Macadamia Village White River now stands.

Since the first village, the name has now become synonymous with retirement housing. Additional Macadamia Villages have been established:
- Macadamia Village West Acres (Nelspruit),
- Macadamia Village Tzaneen, whilst more villages are being developed:
- Macadamia @ The Aloes in Polokwane,
- Macadamia Barberton and
- Macadamia Sonheuwel (2nd for Nelspruit).

The Developer

Tony Lagerwey (Pty) Ltd. has been in construction and development since 1959 - in the industry for over 50 years. We trust this is sufficient comfort for anyone considering a unit in our next Macadamia Development.
