• Good security supported by a security plan.
• Full ownership (freehold) that allows the full benefit of capital growth and inheritance as well as sectional title schemes - for minimum financial risks.
• No age restriction on purchasers make it accessible to younger investors – planning retirement well in advance.
• A minimum living-in restriction of 45 years of age (some villages 50 years) with no cut-off age limit.
• Self-determination.
• Flexibility and freedom of choice.
• Care facilities, from occasional assistance to assisted living to full 24-hour frail care services on site. Most residents enjoying assisted living will never have to move into the 24-hour care centres as the frail are looked after in their own comfortable surroundings.
• Flexible levies according to the various levels of care needed.
• The care centre on site is privately owned and managed and is not the responsibility of the village owners. A well-established private company, Macadamia Frail Care provides care and assistance at home as well as running the frail-care facility on site.
• Guaranteed standard of living maintained by implementing a code of conduct.
• Easily accessible shopping facilities and amenities.
• An understanding of “nice to have” and “sustainability” in order to keep levies down.
• Environmental features such as indigenous trees, abundant bird life, the soothing sound of running water and scenic walkways enhance residents’ quality of life at little cost.
• A well run and maintained village. Village levies are reasonable and fair and this type of management has proved efficient and successful.
  

• In 1994 there were few (if any) secured villages. More and more secured villages have sprung up all over the country.
• People tend to live longer and the emphasis has therefore shifted to the importance of care facilities and the subsequent change to the concept of care.

How do we know that the above concept works?
Macadamia Village White River and Macadamia Village West Acres, Nelspruit have been sold out for years. The units in these villages are sought after and we have waiting lists. Macadamia Village Tzaneen, our most recent development, was completed at the end of 2008 (98% already sold).
