The Eastern Cape has taken the lead in advanced living environments with the development of the Jubilee Lakes coastal estate and golf development at Jeffreys Bay, where this week developers launched a retirement village as part of the residential mix.

The Jubilee Retirement Village is an integral part of the 800- hectare, R1,8-billion broad-based Jubilee Lakes Coastal Estate, with a magnificent Nicklaus design golf course, and spectacular residential plots, which are already 70 per cent sold out in the launch phase.

Offering a wide range of high security accommodation to suit retired residents, the retirement village is on 12ha of coastal land within the main resort, and close to the new Fountains Mall, opened earlier this year. A total of 380 homes, both freehold and at a later stage sectional title, will eventually be built in the village, which is open to buyers aged 50 and older.

The development includes gardens, dams and streams, which link the homes with the central club facility. The golf course and other facilities in the Jubilee Lakes Estate are also open to retirement village residents.

Two hundred of the retirement sites are for the construction of separate title, free-standing luxury homes, while there will later also be sectional title home opportunities on small plots, as simplex units, or apartments.
