Coastal South African Real Estate Developments Satisfy The Need For Sun And Sea
Why is there such a never ending demand for coastal South African real estate developments? On the one hand we know this has to do with the prime investment opportunities locked into these properties. This is especially true along the Cape Town coast, with breathtaking examples such as The Glen in Camps Bay and Laguna Lifestyle Village in Langebaan. But deep down we know that it is about much more than that. Owning a piece of coastal South African real estate in the Western Cape, surrounded by majestic mountains and crashing waves, can satisfy some of our deepest needs.
Why do we all have this fascination with summer holidays at the ocean? Is it only because it is the middle of summer and the raging sun tries it’s utmost best to drain the last remnant of moisture out of thirsty bodies? A necessity to cool down that overheated body in the waves adhered to as a daily ritual? Or could it be that we remember carefree childhood days where adults for a while also became engaged in frivolous play?
That, and more. It all started with the flow of water, as the old Greek philosophers proclaimed. As we ourselves consist mostly of water, there is most likely that ageless remembrance of being part of the totality of existence.
At the ocean we contemplate the past and how the future will in time flow away to become part of the past again. A mystic reunion with our essence.
Is it not interesting how many people nearing retirement have this urge to relocate to a South African real estate development near the ocean? When we are young we adhere instinctively to the conquering energy. We fight, do business, make love, accumulate assets greedily, partake in sport, have roaring party times and life is fast and furious. We just do not have the time to contemplate the great flow of life.
Time is a real spoil sport. It strips everybody of pretense. There is nothing more beautiful than the inflated ego of the human species evolving into something that has the capacity for kindness and wisdom. And the ocean beckons us to become that kind of human being. This is one of the main benefits of investing in coastal South African real estate developments.
So we take our children to have a ball at the ocean. We watch them from the verandahs of our Camps Bay beach properties, and their joys are ours. We go for long walks along the periphery of land and sea, not really knowing why it is so comforting to do just that. But when we get home again and settle with a glass of wine and the barbeque fire starts to crackle, the smokey smell of burning wood in our nostrils, it is not too difficult to be happy. Another ritual, and as another difficult old Greek had said, everything began and begins with fire.
Two meaningful rituals on one day, against the backdrop of Cape Town’s scenic mountains and beaches. How much joy can the human spirit take!
Friends coming to visit at the ocean are a different cup of tea to the ones visiting on the home ground far from the sea. They suddenly become more mellow. I can’t believe it, but even the most aggressive barons of commerce will put more wood on the fire or go so far as to get you another glass of wine whilst caringly stepping over your dog. The same dog he usually and routinely trampled on at an inland home. Amazing.
The soothing sounds of Camps Bay Cape Town’s mothering ocean. To lie in bed and to be whispered into a deep, relaxing sleep. To be woken by the roaring ocean promising you another great day. To go driving and find different displays of sand and foam in mortal combat. Those are some of the joys of living you could experience daily if you manage to grab one of the smart South African real estate investment opportunities.
Only some. One will also find that long forgotten friends, books, music, hobbies and even that one they call the better half becoming more intriguing and multi-facetted. Color blindness changes into a capacity to view nature, architecture, the shades of day acutely again as it was in the days before adulthood struck.
So, apart from having great holidays at the ocean, even balancing a working life with an after five life on the shores, there comes a time when one can really get into the full variety of life as the laid-back phase finally and timely approaches.
Isn’t it about time that you come and share in the daily and long-term pleasures South African real estate developments have to offer?
