Eagle Canyon meets the rising demand for luxury estate living

Lifestyle estates are attracting some of the highest property prices in the country as family and professional buyers look to settle in areas where they can enjoy a life in a secure setting.

According to New World Wealth, around 45% of South Africa’s high net-worth individuals either live or have homes on estates. The top ranked estates are often those that offer significant lifestyle benefits such as a golf course, clubhouse, swimming pool, spa and gymnasium and so on.

For Johannesburg buyers looking for an exclusive lifestyle in the north-west, the luxury Eagle Canyon Golf and Residential Lifestyle Estate is an increasingly attractive option. It offers over 800 freestanding homes and 500 sectional title units.

Elna Myburgh from Seeff says the estate is ideally positioned for proximity to the Lanseria Airport and several business nodes in Sandton, Randburg, Krugersdorp, Pretoria and Johannesburg. It is also close to Hartbeespoort, Magaliesburg and the Cradle of Humankind.

Aside from the top class security, the estate offers a superb environment and amenities. This includes a unique Colorado Links 18-hole golf course, clubhouse, gym, restaurant and bar. There are also children’s play areas, parks and more, all set in an all-inclusive lifestyle sanctuary setting.

A key attraction of Eagle Canyon is the superior security which includes monitored entry and 24-hour patrols.

According to Lightstone, the estate boasts a median property value of R5,2m but current listings range to around R22m for a unique, one-of-a-kind top end luxury home.

The magnificent 1000sqm Balinese-styled home, meticulously built and furnished offers astonishing attention to detail. It is being sold fully furnished.

It is a home of distinction and is situated on a double greenbelt stand with a large structured landscaped garden. You are welcomed with the sounds of tranquillity from the koi pond situated at the double volume entrance.

Features include a stylish kitchen with Gaggenau appliances, two lounges, a bespoke dining area, cinema room, inside/outside bar, wine cellar, games room and an expansive pool area, the pool being heated and salt-chlorinated.

Additional features include full home automation, solar panels, fibre, a built-in vacuum system and more. There are five bedrooms, the main suite is secluded and backs onto a private patio and features a fireplace, dressing room, jacuzzi, bath and shower for added luxury.

Each of the other en-suite bedrooms are uniquely located in an exotic space overlooking the beautiful entertainment and pool area, with their high ceilings. The fifth bedroom is a self-contained flat or guest suite. There are three garages.

The scale of the estate is amazing. Ms Myburgh says Eagle Canyon offers 40 hectares of parklands, 12kms of tree-lined avenues, an eco-wetland area, 11 dams and a variety of birdlife.
