Ennik Estates achieves record sales prices

With the recent change of ownership of a stately residence on the top of Johannesburg’s Linksfield Ridge, luxury homes marketer Ennik Estates has now brokered the sale of four homes in Gauteng at record prices for their respective localities.

“The properties together fetched close to R60-million,” says Ronald Ennik, founder and CEO of the Christie’s-affiliated agency, which was launched 20 months ago as a Gauteng-focused top end residential real estate enterprise.

The properties are located at Cornwall Hill Country Estate in Irene, Pretoria; Linksfield Ridge in Johannesburg (on the viewsite eastern tip of the ridge); Waterstone Estate in Benmore Gardens, Sandton; and the Summerhaze cluster development in River Club, Sandton.

“The sale of the Summerhaze property was a particular milestone for our consultant Denise Bruyns, a doyenne of Gauteng’s real estate community,” says Ronald.

“Denise originally helped bring to the Sandton market what were then (early 1980s) ‘new frontier’ suburbs like Duxberry, Morningside 40, and River Club – areas in which spec building was rife at the time, and buying homes off-plan was unexceptional.

“Denise was also instrumental in the sale of the Waterstone Estate property,” adds Ronald.
