The Engel & Völkers Potchefstroom Advice Line for Property gives free advice to home buyers – and especially to home buyers relocating to Potchefstroom. 

In this third article of the series, Engel & Völkers Potchefstroom highlights three Potchefstroom suburbs.

Heilige Akker – THE suburb for young families and NWU lecturers

The Heilige Akker suburb in Potchefstroom is sought after, close to good schools, the North-West University, a hospital and the popular Bult area. Most homes on the market have 4 or more bedrooms and a significant 80% of buyers are under the age of 35 years. Engel & Völkers Potchefstroom agent Juan Badenhorst recently sold 3 homes in Heilige Akker within a short period. A remarkable feat, since the annual number of properties sold in the suburb scarcely reaches 10 homes.

Kannonierspark – conveniently close to the NWU and Army base

According to Engel & Völkers Potchefstroom’s continuous property research – just over a 100 properties were sold in Kannonierspark in 2021. These consisted of spacious family homes as well as a large number of apartments. Located close to the recently upgraded Mediclinic Hospital, the North-West University and the Army Base – Kannonierspark is home to a wide variety of residents. Home buyers over the age of 36 years as well as investors are frequent buyers in this suburb.

de Land Estate – a multi-generational estate

A great example of how an Exclusive Mandate with Engel & Völkers Potchefstroom and a great partnership with the ALS Group ended in success. The 30 Ha de Land Estate is one of Potchefstroom’s most successful and popular estates.

If you’re looking for evidence of de Land Estate’s popularity: Engel & Völkers Potchefstroom already sold 322 properties in de Land Estate and of the 135 stands,128 were sold.

If your quick calculation led you to the conclusion that there are only 7 stands left to buy in de Land Estate – you are correct! And with the large demand – they won’t be available for much longer. If you’re looking to buy a stand and build a home in de Land Estate, you can contact Engel & Völkers Potchefstroom on 0716745673.

de Land Estate is multi-generational. 25 Ha of the 30 Ha estate is for all ages, while the remaining 5 Ha is a 55+ Village. To further emphasize the multi-generational aspect, de Land Estate includes a Care Centre for  55+ AND a kindergarten (nursery) school. Other amenities include a restaurant, walkways, park, fruit orchard and excellent 24h security.

Engel & Völkers clients can choose between a variety of properties ranging from 2 bedroom studio apartments to 3 bedroom homes, retirement homes and of course stands where you can build your own home. Stands (remember – only 7 left!) are for sale from R930 000 and 3 bedroom homes are for sale from R2.11 Million.

The key to success at de Land Estate

Quintin McMaster is the chairman of the de Land Estate Home Owners Association, and Engel & Völkers Potchefstroom Marketing Manager, Helandi Moolman, asked Quintin to summarize the success of de Land Estate. His answer? “de Land Estate’s success is rooted in two very important aspects: remarkable security measures that relates to more peace of mind as well as a high quality lifestyle for the entire family.”
