Paradise Beach in Langebaan
Some history...
Paradise Beach in Langebaan , journey started in the 1990’s. Club Mykonos as a timeshare Resort, was under severe financial pressure. Its holding company, Masterbond, was liquidated and the only asset the Resort had to pay back investors, was the vast amount of vacant land. The Resort under management of GM Phil Calothi, decided to venture into residential developments.
The Waterfront residential development ,was sold out within 7 days in December 1996. This was located at the most southern part of the Resort.
Due to this massive success, Mykonos decided to create and sell the next residential development, Paradise Beach, at the most northern part of the Resort. This development was launched in 1997, selling vacant erven for R69 000 and beachfront plots for R329 000 ( transfer included).
All 239 plots were sold out in 3 months and infrastructure and transfer took 2 years to complete.
Architectural guidelines
Paradise Beach in Langebaan as an Estate, created the “Greek island” look, through the contemporary Mediterranean design style. On the natural sloping hill, you will find white, flat roofed buildings with either light blue, grey or turquoise external doors, windows or shutters.
The average erf size is 400 m2. The height restriction varies from 7,5m (double) to 4,5m single storey, creating sea views for every dwelling. Each erf has a single zero building line option and all garages must have a set back line of 4,5m, from the street boundary. Sea views are from the north and south, but reflecting glare off the water is very strong from the west.
This creates a strong aesthetic look, as all flat roofs must be concealed behind a beam or parapet. All rainwater downpipes, gutters, air conditioning units, satellite dishes and gas bottles may not be visible.
The following are not allowed:
-
Thatch, corrugated iron or transparent roof sheeting
