Were excited to introduce a rare 39.9-hectare development opportunity in the sought-after Hilton area just minutes from Pietermaritzburg and positioned along the fast-growing KZN Midlands corridor.

This is not your standard residential plot. The property offers exceptional scale, a prime location, and a range of development possibilities from lifestyle estates and retirement villages to eco-living communities, wellness hubs, or secure sectional-title developments.

Bordering the Hilton village and with easy access to the N3, the site is less than 15 minutes from Pietermaritzburgs CBD and under an hour from Durban. Its ideally placed for professionals and retirees who value a peaceful setting with easy access to top schools, hospitals, and urban amenities.

Approved Development Potential

Town planning approval is already in place for 458 residential units, including 203 freestanding homes and 255 apartments.

The layout allows for flexible, phased development whether youre planning a mixed-use estate, retirement or wellness village, or smaller-scale, high-yield clusters.

Portions of the site are zoned for complementary uses that enhance community value and investor returns. These include:

Dwelling houses and apartments

Retirement or frail-care facilities

Professional offices and small enterprises

Shops, cafes, and restaurants

Laundromats and convenience services

Together, these create the foundation for a self-sustaining live-work-play community.

Strong Local Demographics

Hilton continues to attract upper-middle-income families, lifestyle buyers, and retirees relocating from major cities. The area is home to top private schools, boutique hotels, shopping centres, and the Hilton Life Hospital all of which contribute to its strong and growing demand profile.

Family homes and retirement villas
