The Alphenvale Trust has installed a PV System on the Clubhouse roof, which provides back-up power to the Clubhouse and common areas of Alphenvale during power outages.
The Alphenvale Trust has also installed a borehole system, which besides irrigating the garden, provides treated drinkable water to the Clubhouse and Kitchen. This water can also be collected and used by all Residents in the case of Municipal failures or drought.

Primary Health care is provided during office hours by two qualified nursing sisters at our clinic, or at your
cottage when necessary. After hours and over weekends one of the sisters is on call for emergencies. Call out's
are charged at a nominal rate. Under the supervision of the nursing Sister in charge, private nursing services
may be contracted by residents post operatively or if ongoing care is required. Being a small community,
logistic and financial constraints rule out the provision of frail care. The policy is to enable residents to
remain in their homes for as long as possible by arranging outside medical support which is paid for by the
resident.
Each cottage is equipped with a AidCall 24/7 Emergency Unit and Panic Button, giving Residents peace of mind in
case of a medical emergency.
Security includes 24 hour guards, controlled access, regular internal perimeter patrols and monitored
electrified fences. In addition to the AidCall 24/7 medical emergency unit, each cottage has a panic button located
on a keypad which is linked to our Security Company, who will respond in the case of an emergency.
Each cottage has heat and smoke detectors installed, which are also monitored by our Security service provider.
Cottages remain the property of the Alphenvale Trust which is overseen by 4 Trustees, all of whom are residents. Occupation of each cottage is offered on a Life Right basis. The daily management and control of the village is in the hands of the General Manager under the guidance of the Alphenvale Trust and a Management Committee, elected each year by the Management Association, which consists of all the Life Right owners.
On the resale of a Life Right, the original purchase price, plus 65% of the growth, less 3.5% sales commission of the transfer price and basic refurbishment costs, accrues to the seller. The 35% balance of the growth, the sales commission and the refurbishment costs, accrues to the Alphenvale Trust. The Trust uses these funds for the Village developments and to stabilise levies.
The Alphenvale Trust undertakes certain upgrades to the cottage, at their expense, when a Life Right is sold. The Purchaser of a Life Right is entitled to make additional upgrades to the cottage, provided these are approved by the Trustees, and paid for by the Purchaser. Refurbished cottages have an inverter and battery installed, providing back-up power when there is loadshedding.
The cottages available at Alphenvale are two and three bedroom units. A three bedroom cottage is typically about 180 square meters including the double garage, and a two bedroom cottage is about 160 square meters.
Currently a three bedroom unit sells for +- R9.5 million and two bedroom unit for R8.5 million (APRIL 2025). The price will depend on position, refurbishments required, market trends and what similar cottages on the Estate were recently sold for.
Levies cover insurance of the buildings, access to primary health care, municipal rates, services and taxes, maintenance of grounds and exteriors of cottages, electricity for common areas, security and village management.
The current cottage levy is approximately R6 000 per month. In addition, the levy for meals is currently R1 496 per month per occupant.
