Living, working & shopping all within walking distance from home is an ideal environment. The Mount Verde Village master plan aims to promote such a mixed-use development that offers the “full package” supporting a better work-life balance and increased productivity.
The Village is nestled in the existing agricultural hub, and comprises approx. 200ha. At the heart of Mount Verde, the Village Square, shall offer residents & locals a place to work, shop, eat and relax with views across the Estate, working farms & Karkloof Valley.
The Village Square shall be surrounded by little residential clustered hamlets, rolling out to the larger homesteads and then finally The Village farmettes. A system of greenways and trails surround the community and connect residents to the Village Square, Harvest Farm, parks and Ridge. A destination for an unique lifestyle experience.
A variety of housing types planned within The Village shall be acre high-end luxury homes, clustered homes with full backyards, row houses that share a common space, apartments and lifestyle hamlets catering for all ages.
Empathise, Excite and Entice
The Mount Verde Village Master Plan, reminiscent of a traditional village, envisions a high-quality public realm with a network of streets, parks, and open spaces that engage and connect surrounding areas and create new places where neighbours, residents, and workers can live, work, and recreate. The connecting trails may be alongside orchards or edible landscapes, with views of farmland, forests, wetland and natural wildlife habitat.
The Village Master Plan proposed concept connects and blends several land uses into a vibrant live, work, play environment. Arranged around a planned landscaped Harvest Farm, The Village Square shall set a welcoming tone, with a size and location that can accommodate farmers’ markets, festival events, and casual community gatherings of all kinds in planned phases. These variety of activities and events fosters community engagement and connectivity among residents and visitors.
The Village Square shall be developed by reworking the existing footprint, repurposing the original farm barns and buildings, providing charming, authentic artisanal and commercial space. The architecture shall be a mix of old and new. Detailed pitched gables, modernist frameless glass fronts, exposed raw brick and steel. With master craftsmanship and expert design elements envisaged, there are multiple lease options to choose from in both our line store and office configurations. Ranging from 35 sqm to 1000sqm your proposed use is only limited to what ideas your imagination conjures up.
Carefully planned roads and placed gateways invite residents and visitors to enter The Village and will feature distinctive public art, wayfinding signage, and other monuments that promote entry and connectivity to community amenities. The Village Square shall include crossings to ensure safe pedestrian and bike access from Mount Verde Ridge, planned hamlets, and Weir Drive directly to the Village Square. Convenient public parking will be located near all the new retail businesses and Village Square.
