Val de Vie’s new plot-and-plan, luxury development ticks both dream home and lifestyle boxes

North Pointe Residences, the latest addition to the prestigious Val de Vie residential estate nestled along the banks of the Berg River in the Cape Winelands, enables young families and dynamic individuals alike to tick both their dream home and in-harmony-with-nature boxes, says Surina du Toit, area manager for Pam Golding Properties in Paarl.

"Comprising just 31 plots ranging in size from 450m² to 751m², North Pointe Residences follows in the footsteps of the popular ‘The Vine’s neighbourhood, offering a well-considered and beautifully curated plot-and-plan residential environment in which lifestyle hopes, dreams, and aspirations meet," says Du Toit.

North Pointe will be developed by Val de Vie Construction - the company responsible for more than 300 homes on Val de Vie Estate. Priding itself on upholding a standard of sheer luxury, superior quality, and finishes, Val de Vie Construction takes great care in partnering with top consultants and places meticulous focus on quality control and customer satisfaction.

Priced from R 5 232 500 including VAT, the plot-and-plan homes in the North Pointe development range in size from 196sqm for three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two garages, to 282sqm for four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and two garages.

Says du Toit: “Along with the empathetic layout of the development, these plot-and-plan homes are contemporary and comfortable, while taking advantage of the surrounding views to create a natural flow into the outdoors.

“And what an outdoors it is - on Val de Vie Estate, nature is everyone’s closest neighbour as sustainability has been at the heart of the estate since inception in 2004, with the focus on restoring the environment to its natural state.”

Since the first groundworks began in 2004, Val de Vie Estate has implemented environmentally sustainable solutions through innovation and development that have resulted in a flourishing ecosystem. One of these solutions is a 40-hectare biodiversity corridor and largely as a result of this, small mammals such as duiker and African porcupines still roam the estate.

Twelve large lakes, surrounded by impressive homes, are habitat for Cape clawless otters and a wide range of waterfowl and fish plus over a hundred bird species, including a thriving population of owls and other raptors including two pairs of African Fish Eagles, indicate a healthy environment.

For the active, there’s over 42km of mountain bike routes, 21km jogging and walking trails through vineyards, picnic spots next to the Berg River, the world-famous Pearl Valley Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, and stables, parks, and paddocks, while boutique farming on the Gentleman’s Estates, River Club and The Acres inspire a ‘farm-to-table' lifestyle. The organic vegetable gardens and crops provide a variety of produce that residents can purchase at the Val de Vie Wellness Farm outlet.

Adds du Toit: “There’s a comfort and serenity that comes from a natural, healthy, and sustainable way of living, from knowing that your community is committed to conserving the natural environment and implementing accountable farming practices.”

“And it doesn’t stop there. While there’s so much that’s attractive about living in the Cape Winelands, Val de Vie Estate is its rarest jewel – one that is perfectly positioned and curated to enable a lifestyle that gives you more time to spend with family and friends doing what you love, enjoying all that nature has to offer, in a safe and secure environment.

“Cape Town International, a link to the rest of Africa and international destinations, is just 35 minutes away while Cape Town, its beaches, concerts and performances, restaurants, and nightlife only 40 minutes.

“For parents and children, the school commute to some of the most prestigious and sought-after

educational facilities in the country – Paarl Gimnasium, Paarl Boys’ High, La Rochelle Girls’ Primary, Paarl Girls’ High, The Green School, and Bridge House – is effortless and over in the blink of an eye.

“A residence in North Pointe is more than a luxury home, it is the gateway to the full Val de Vie wellness and in-harmony-with-nature lifestyle experience,” concludes du Toit.
