hits massive estate in South Africa"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Development rights for parts of the Kenton Eco Estate in the Eastern Cape are being sold following the liquidation of one of the developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Development rights for 129 unsold residential stands in the Kenton Eco Estate in the Eastern Cape are being sold by private tender due to the liquidation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, the estate is solvent, and only one portion is undergoing liquidation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a total of 330 stands in the private and eco-friendly nature reserve community, the estate is governed by the Kenton Eco Estate Home Owners Association NPC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The HOA is a separate legal&nbsp;entity&nbsp;from Kenton&nbsp;Eco&nbsp;Estate&nbsp;Limited, which is in&nbsp;liquidation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe sale of these development rights will suit an investor looking to develop and sell within the luxury sustainability market,&#8221; said Norman Raad, CEO of Broll Auctions and Sales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;With 200 of these stands already sold, the popularity and reputation of Kenton Eco Estate is already proven.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stands are between 800 sqm&nbsp;and 850 sqm&nbsp;each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSurrounded by pristine beaches and abundant wildlife, Kenton Eco Estate offers residents the chance to connect with the environment,&#8221; said Raad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents enjoy sustainable, modern living and access to a 2.5km beach with private access. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Homes are also designed to maximise sustainable living via the use of sustainable materials, underground rainwater storage tanks and the promotion of energy-efficient practices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The home is also designed to blend seamlessly into the landscape of indigenous vegetation using natural tones and lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A state-of-the-art waterborne sewerage system and rainwater harvesting infrastructure also ensure that there is an uninterrupted provision of critical services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 230-hectare eco estate also has walking, jogging and cycling paths through the bush and coastline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The estate also has access control and security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only 12% of the entire estate will be developed to ensure that there is a balance between nature and luxury living. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, the eco estate is set to benefit from the semigration trend to South Africa&#8217;s once sleepy seaside towns, which shows no signs of slowing down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The estate&#8217;s blend of security, luxury and environmental responsibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The estate is also differentiated from its competitors as it is just 25km from Port Alfred and 45km from Grahamstown, which <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kenton Eco Estate Home Owners Association NPC has also agreed to a two-year levy holiday&nbsp;to&nbsp;facilitate&nbsp;the&nbsp;transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The holiday expires when the transfer of the developed properties occurs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tender closing date is January 31, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter
