Living in a residential estate has become a dream for many South Africans. Thanks to the secure way of life on offer, an idyllic environment for kids to grow up in and a community-centred approach, estates have become one of the most-searched-for property types in the country. Since KZN's south coast is well loved for its laid-back ambience and wide array of things to do, it's not surprising that interest in residential estates on the south coast is burgeoning. The Seeff team takes a look at estates on the south coast and all that they have to offer.

Top estates on KZN's South Coast

The list of well-loved estates on KZN's South Coast includes the following:

• Larnaco Estate in Amanzimtoti
• Abrams Crest in Kelso
• Lakeview Lifestyle Retirement Village in Scottburgh
• Renishaw Hills near Scottburgh
• Selborne Golf Estate in Pennington

Everything these estates have to offer

KZN's south coast offers estates that give their residents an amazing way of life. Homes in Larnaco Estate, for example, boast spectacular sea views, lush gardens and high-quality finishes as well as 24-hour security and guards. It offers a great home for people at every stage of life.

Abrams Crest is nestled between Pennington and Scottburgh, with homes built in a style known as "Natal Colonial" or "Veranda Style". Many homes in this estate are situated on the sea-facing side of Kelso hill, offering unforgettable views. The estate is walled with eco-friendly tinted concrete palisade fencing.

Designed specifically to cater for active over-50s, Lakeview Lifestyle Retirement Village in Scottburgh offers everything from frail care facilities to a walkway where residents can enjoy an easy and safe stroll. The village's Central Complex offers an array of recreational activities and opportunities to get some exercise.

Renishaw Hills, also catering for retirees, is situated within the Mpambanyoni Conservation Development. This unique sanctuary consists of several interconnected residential and commercial estates.

Possibly the best-known estate on KwaZulu-Natal's south coast is Selborne Golf Estate, which was the first residential golf estate of its kind in South Africa. The estate offers everything from championship golf and a world-class spa to fine dining and conferencing facilities.

Generally speaking, estates have much to offer residents and investors. The peace of mind that comes from living in a secure environment cannot be overstated, and properties in estates tend to grow in value over time. Living in an estate is a way of life that encourages community interaction and people living in these environments really get to know their neighbours and build strong community relationships.

Things to do on the south coast

Yet another factor that south coast residents can love about their estate homes is that they are close to so many great things to see and do. Lake Eland Game Reserve, with its hiking, zip-lining, suspension bridge and scooter tours is a relatively short drive away. If hitting the water is more your style, head to Umzumbe Surf Camp for surfing lessons and guided surf trips. For those who prefer being under the water, the south coast boasts Aliwal Shoal, which is a world-renowned dive site.

The pristine Umdoni Park offers various opportunities for forest walks, trail runs and mountain biking in the verdant beauty of the south coast. According to World Beach Guide, a number of KwaZulu-Natal's top beaches can be found on the south coast, including Pennington Beach, Margate Beach, Scottburgh Beach and Park Rynie Beach. Whether you want to swim, soak up some sun or just watch the waves, there's a great beach close by if you're a resident of one of our south coast's top lifestyle estates.
