Commercial space in Glen Marais

A rare 2.1-hectare multi-structure estate in Kempton Park carrying active Business 3 zoning and an in-principle Residential 3 township approval. Operate commercially today, unlock medium-density housing development tomorrow. With approximately 1,152m² under roof across multiple buildings, boreholes, and a formal gated entrance, this is a genuine land-and-rights play priced for the strategic buyer.

Few properties in the Ekurhuleni corridor offer this calibre of zoning layering on a single title. Registered at 2.1235 hectares Portion 137 of Farm 32, Rietfontein this formally gated estate carries current Business 3 zoning, granting immediate lawful use as a conference centre, commercial facility, school, or business venue. That alone makes it income-ready from day one.

The deeper play, however, is what sits beneath the surface. A township application for Residential 3 has already received in-principle approval, with conditions of establishment attached. Once finalised, this title unlocks medium-density residential development rights: up to three storeys in height, coverage at 60 units per hectare, subject to an approved site development plan. On a 2.1-hectare land parcel, the development arithmetic is compelling.

Existing improvements estimated at approximately 1,152m² under roof span a primary building originally configured as a school or institutional facility with reception areas and multiple adaptable rooms, a second fully electrified residential home with two bedrooms, open-plan kitchen, dining area, built-in bar, and a pool area, four domestic quarters units, warehouse space with storerooms and a work area, and three ready-to-use storage units. Two boreholes, one linked to a 5,000-litre tank, provide water independence. Solar panels are visible on site.

The grounds are large and open, tree-lined with mature eucalyptus and palms, accessed via a boom-controlled gatehouse entrance the physical scale of a development site with existing infrastructure already in place.

For the developer, investor, or owner-operator seeking a dual-purpose asset with genuine township approval momentum, 62 Botes Avenue is a structured opportunity that rarely presents at this scale in this corridor.
