    Lifestyle estate living is on the rise in Africa, especially among the wealthy, according to the 2022 Africa Wealth Report.

    Lifestyle estate living is on the rise in Africa, especially among the wealthy, according to the 2022 Africa Wealth Report, published by UK investment consultancy Henley & Partners in partnership with South African wealth intelligence firm New World Wealth.

    South Africa: A lifestyle estate pioneer

    South Africa is a global pioneer in estate living and is home to many of the world’s best lifestyle estates, including the likes of Val de Vie, Steyn City, Fancourt, Pezula and Steenberg.

    Estate living is also very popular in Mauritius, especially among wealthy expats. Notable top-end estates in the country include Anahita Mauritius, Mont Choisy Le Parc and the One&Only Le Saint Géran Private Homes.

    Thanks to recent strong price growth, luxury estate apartments in Mauritius are now among the most valuable in Africa, with prime prices reaching as high as USD 5,000 per square meter, similar to prices in Clifton and Bantry Bay, the most exclusive property sectors in Cape Town, South Africa.

    Factors influencing the rise of lifestyle estates

    Estate living is also starting to take off in several other African countries, including Morocco and Egypt. Reasons for its rising appeal across Africa include:

    • Security and privacy: Access control, private security personnel.
    • Lifestyle and community: Large open spaces, communal leisure facilities, children’s playgrounds and schools.
    • Facilities: On-site gyms, spas, golf courses, horse riding, tennis, cycling, fishing and jogging paths.
    • Limited and controlled traffic: Greater safety for children.

    As a result, most developers are now creating small neighborhoods within their lifestyle estates, as opposed to the old model where houses were spaced evenly around the entire property. The new model allows for more parkland and open spaces in between neighborhoods, states the report.
