About this property

Are you 50+ and yearning for a peaceful, small-town ambience, yet want the convenience of big city living? Then look no further than the Olive Grove village in historical Modderfontein’s Heritage Estate mature lifestyle community for over-50s. You’ll have easy access to shopping, dining and quality healthcare while enjoying modern facilities and community-focused living within a restored heritage site. This cottage-style one-bedroom home is perfectly positioned in the heart of Heritage Estate, within sightline and easy walking distance of the Oval, which serves as the community’s central park, home to the century-old, magnificently renovated Pavilion (circa 1925) and Heritage House (circa 1911) – with the social pulse-point, Heritage Café, mere meters from your front door. Best of all, while so many of the estate’s amenities are conveniently close, this home is decidedly set back from everything, providing you with space and privacy. An open-plan combo living-dining room, with modern kitchen, forms the heart of the home’s interior, which opens onto a covered patio that offers a great sightline onto a village-like view of a cobbled tree-lined street in the distance. The bedroom, with ample storage space, is adjacent to the bathroom, which features a walk-in shower. Peace of mind is paramount. The estate’s security is state-of-the-art, while the home features a solar system with an inverter and battery. Heritage Estate provides a safe, inspiring, and community-focused home for active lifestyle 50+ empty-nesters. It’s pet-friendly and offers a wide range of amenities and services, ranging from a wellness centre and heated pool to a lively formal social calendar that includes line dancing, massage therapy, Canasta, table tennis, snooker, croquet, happy hours and braais, knitting groups and film screenings. It also offers regular bus transport to Modderfontein’s nearby Flamingo shopping centre (Checkers, Woolworths, Dis-Chem, Starbucks, Mr Price Home, ATMs, doctors’ rooms). Greenstone Mall, Stoneridge Centre, quality medical facilities, and access to the freeway system are all within two kilometres. Laid-back Modderfontein provides a quiet, small town ambience with its tall pine trees and light traffic, an historic village (home to a dynamite museum, restaurants and a bakery), a very active heritage society, a golf club (designed by Hugh Biaocchi), the Modderfontein Nature Reserve and monthly Piston Ring vintage car gathering, South Africa’s largest – providing you with an interesting country lifestyle near (but not part of) the city.
