Valley of the Rainbow Country Estate & Nature Reserve is an incredible place to be all year’ round. The private estate near Dullstroom, is only two hours drive from Johannesburg and offers
visitors the experience of trout fishing in lakes and rivers surrounded by indigenous forest
abundant with game and bird life.
Valley of the Rainbow is currently
undergoing an exclusive new lifestlye and leisure development which will be built and developed
around the current resort. The property is situated on the premier tourist route from Gauteng to
major tourist attractions of the Mpungalanga escarpment and the lowveld regions of Mpungalanga.
The diversity of the fauna and flora in the catchment of the perennial
Witpoort River, which is the major source of water for trout fishing activities, is exceptional
for the area, and a wide variety of birds, indigenous trees and wildlife species
abound
DEVELOPMENT
The development includes three low density nodes: Lake Estate, Park
Estate and Mountain Estate, all surrounded by mountains, indigenous forests, lakes and a Water
Park, designed by Patrick Watson (known for the design of The Palace and Sun City Gardens).
Recreation facilities include a Boutique Country Hotel, The Manor Restaurant, The Water Mill
Restaurant and Tea Garden and a Natural Wellness Centre.
During the first
phase of the development ten nature studios in indigenous forests on mountain slopes and
overlooking the lakes and forests in the valley will be available during 2007. Each studio will
have one or two bedroom(s), one or two bathroom(s), open plan living, dining room and kitchen and
will be built according to environmental sensitive construction methods. The design will include
design elements of Glenn Murcutt, the acclaimed Australian architect. Each studio will be set in
a forest, on a mountain slope with floating decks and living areas that will open to nature
through sliding glass doors and secured with motorised roller shutters. Design will be
ecologically blended into the environment.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS
Options are ownership of a home
(sectional title) or a share in a home company. Each home company has 13 shares, meaning each
share guarantees the owner a flexible 28 days usage annually, available any time of the year.
Each home company owns a sectional title in the development.
The investment
entry level for a thirteenth share in a holiday home is R250,000 and sectional title R2,5 million
(all homes furnished).
The main advantage of joint ownership is the attainability element, in
that investors can now gain access to up market developments previously out of their reach.
