PREPARATIONS are now at a advanced stage for the ground-breaking ceremony of the Hills Luxury Golf Estate which is expected to take place early next month.
The Hills Luxury Golf Estate is set to change the face of Harare and, precisely Harare West, and will be used as the signature feature in destination marketing and city branding.
Just across Solomon Mujuru Drive (formerly Kirkman) is the Liberation City, which is under development, which is also expected to bring a lot of traffic to the area.
The Hills Luxury Golf Estate comes with a PGA standard golf course that will be used as the main course for tours and championship matches.
The golf course will put relief to congestion at the major courses and reduce travelling times for golfers in suburbs like Mabelreign, Tynwald, Dzivaresekwa, Warren Park, Belvedere and Milton Park among other nearby suburbs.
Bounded by Sherwood and Harare Drive, the Hills Golf Estate promises to be one of the best features in the city.
Punctuating the green fairways, lined by giant baobab trees and other indigenous tree species, will be exquisite tailored villas, premium apartments and penthouses.
It will become the second Golf Estate in Harare after the Brooke.
Modern architecture decorates the built up landscape that constitutes two palatial double story penthouses that come with rooftop swimming pools, affording the owners a bird’s eye view of the undulating 18-hole golf course.
The lifestyle estate, which combines the live, work, shop and play concept, has a shopping mall, medical centre and an old people’s home and different sporting activities like tennis and swimming.
Property developer and WestProp chief executive, Ken Sharpe, is upbeat with the development and reckons Harare will never be the same with the picturesque signature development.
“We have used the best architects and designers and married the designs with our local environment. Our aim is to ensure quality is not compromised, we are bringing the best,” he said.
“We are a lifestyle developer. We do not develop and abandon the estate. We stay to ensure standards are always maintained.”
