Welcome to La’Mare – Coastal Living Redefined in Hout Bay
Situated at 43 Bayview Road, Hout Bay, La’Mare presents an exceptional coastal lifestyle crafted by LYT Architecture and developed by Merelava Property Developments. This exclusive sectional title estate features seven boutique blocks, each comprising 12 thoughtfully designed apartments.
Ideally located just 100 meters from the Table Mountain National Park hiking trails and minutes from Hout Bay Harbour, Hout Bay Beach, and Chapman’s Peak Drive, La’Mare offers unparalleled access to nature and vibrant coastal amenities.
Key Development & Investment Highlights
The project is slated for completion and occupation in April 2028. Buyers benefit from zero transfer duty by purchasing directly off-plan from the developer (VAT inclusive), resulting in significant upfront capital savings compared to existing property transfers. A low initial capital outlay requires only a 10% deposit held securely in trust with STBB Attorneys, with bond repayments and the final balance payable upon transfer at project completion.
La’Mare is fully registered with the National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC), providing a 5-year structural warranty alongside developer guarantees on appliances and finishes. The estate prioritizes security with 24-hour manned access control, high-voltage perimeter electric fencing, gate intercoms, and comprehensive CCTV coverage including vehicular monitoring.
Interiors showcase a modern beachside aesthetic with soft sandy tones, high-speed fibre connectivity, and a full baseline suite of kitchen appliances. Optional upgrades include premium kitchen specifications, engineered timber flooring, and back-up power solutions. Secure parking bays and private storage units are available on request at an additional cost. The community is pet-friendly (subject to Body Corporate approval) and offers direct access to mountain trails just a 2-minute walk away.
