R4,200,000 | 4 Bedroom Townhouse For Sale in Hillcrest Central

On the hillside of Gillitts, a new vision for residential living has arrived. Forbes Estate is a boutique community of just ten architect-crafted homes, shaped with intention rather than excess, creating an exclusive community that values design, security, and simplicity.

Unlike large gated communities that sprawl into the hundreds, Forbes Estate is intentionally intimate. With only ten newly built residences, it provides exclusivity without congestion or inflated levies. Homes range from three-bedroom duplexes to four-bedroom triplexes, spanning 220 to 264 square metres under roof, each designed with contemporary families and professionals in mind.

Inside, natural light defines the spaces. The kitchen, dining, and lounge areas flow together seamlessly, anchored by a striking staircase that frames double-volume windows. Kitchens are appointed with quartz countertops, a central island, and premium Elba appliances, creating both functionality and beauty. Private patios and gardens extend the living environment outdoors, ideal for entertaining or enjoying treetop views.

The location offers the best of both worlds. Set in a peaceful, elevated neighbourhood, the estate is only minutes from top Hillcrest schools, shopping centres, and the M13 freeway. This central convenience is matched by a secure living environment, with a smart access control system, electrified fencing, and the option for 24-hour protection.

“The developer’s vision has always been to create something distinctive for Hillcrest,” says Scott Allnatt of Shelley Residential. “A boutique estate that feels both modern and timeless, where families can enjoy security, style, and convenience without compromise. Forbes Estate reflects that vision perfectly.”

That sense of exclusivity is highlighted by Josh Buitendach of Shelley Residential, who adds: “With only ten homes available, priced from R3.5 million, this is a rare opportunity to secure a brand-new, architect-designed residence in a tree-lined setting just minutes from Hillcrest Central. Homes that combine immediate value with enduring lifestyle appeal are seldom found.”

With no transfer duty, savings of up to R240,000, and a limited number of residences, Forbes Estate is more than a development. It is an exclusive community carefully designed around the needs of modern living, where architectural boldness meets practical simplicity.
