The region has shown remarkable growth, with homes selling upwards of R10 million. Prices have increased 110% over the past ten years, making purchasing property in Franschhoek a long-term, sustainable investment with significant potential.
There has been a significant shift in investment attitude among the 55+ age group – people with financial freedom want spaces where they can live without restrictions. Today, those about to retire or planning for retirement want premium properties in well-maintained estates that perfectly blend privacy with community.
La Luc Estate, nestled a short walk from the thriving Franschhoek village, prioritises this shift in thinking. A lifestyle-oriented estate for semi-retired, retired, or working remotely individuals who are seeking a sense of freedom and tranquillity, it delivers both sophistication and connections.
One of the Estate’s strongest selling points is the freedom it offers potential buyers. The freehold homes are offered on the plot and plan model, which is unusual for retirement estates. Prospective residents and investors can choose from several different home styles and stands developed to create a homestead manor appeal with exceptional finishes but without the upkeep. Unlike many other retirement-focused properties in the area, La Luc Estate doesn’t expect people to step down or offer life rights in exchange for a retirement space.
It is premium living for people who don’t see retirement – they see only another milestone, a new opportunity, and a chance to explore life in a fresh and vibrant environment.
“La Luc Estate is a pedigree retirement offering that is lifestyle oriented for those young at heart, promising owners the feel of a homestead manor house, but without the hassle of maintenance. Our properties are priced between R6.25 and R8.5 million and offer extraordinary views of the remarkable landscape,” says Emanuel Germanis, CEO of Revo Property. “Developed in partnership with top-tier property developer Staytus, La Luc Estate continues our investment into high-end properties within the region.”
STAYTUS is a boutique-style developer with more than 50 years of experience, founded by Werner Roux and Handre Basson. The company has a strong presence in the vibrant town of Stellenbosch and is bringing a wealth of expertise and a proven commitment to quality to the La Luc Franschhoek Estate.
“Our vision is driven by the joy of creating beautiful, enduring properties. Embracing innovation and thoughtful design, STAYTUS crafts homes and lifestyles that stand the test of time,” notes Dr Werner Roux, Staytus co-founder.
It presents a rare opportunity for an investor or buyer wanting to invest in Franschhoek’s extensive offering with a property that makes financial sense. Every home is equipped with modern comforts, including air conditioning, a wood-burning fireplace, Oggie hardwood floors throughout, double-glazed windows for optimised insulation, and quiet and sophisticated bathrooms with underfloor heating and heated towel rails.
The Estate features 24-hour guarded security, sophisticated security systems, and high-speed fibre connectivity, ensuring a tranquil sanctuary where seamless living meets unparalleled amenities. For investors, local or abroad, this opportunity is seamless and holistic, with the Revo team available to offer a full management solution should buyers be interested in securing their future with this attractive investment.
Revo Property is proud to launch this development under its Winelands office, working with Andre Burger and his team, which specialises in this area. The Estate will delight buyers and attract more locals, increase community, and drive economic prosperity in the region. Thanks to the relationships between Revo Property, Staytus, and the relevant organisations, all of the approvals are in place.
La Luc Estate is a holistic purchase into a dynamic future for those who want to live to their full potential while enjoying the stunning natural beauty and a thriving community.
