Prospective homeowners and property investors gathered yesterday at Nkulumane 13 in Bulawayo for a show day hosted by Khayalami Estate, showcasing its latest residential stands now on sale.
The project, located near Nkulumane 12 on the Roman Catholic side, is being marketed by Guest and Tanner and is already drawing interest due to its affordability and flexible payment terms.
Speaking during the event, property consultant Bongeka Ncube highlighted the accessibility and value of the development.
“Khayalami Estate offers an affordable opportunity for individuals and families to secure land in a well-positioned area. With stand sizes ranging from 275 to 550 square metres at just $35 per square metre, this is a practical entry point into property ownership,” she said.
Ncube noted that buyers can secure a stand with a 30 percent deposit, with the balance payable over 12 months, making it easier for first-time home builders to enter the market.
“We understand the financial realities people face, which is why we have structured flexible payment terms. Additionally, all necessary documentation, including the parent title deed, subdivision permit and development permits, is in place to give buyers confidence,” she added.
The estate falls under the jurisdiction of the Bulawayo City Council (BCC) and ownership is being offered through cession. A once-off administration fee of $200 is required per stand, and house plans are included in the package.
On the ground, visible progress has already been made, with roads graded and water infrastructure installed. Sewer servicing is currently underway, while electricity access is supported by an available high-tension line.
Ncube emphasized that the development is not only suitable for residential purposes but also presents a long-term investment opportunity.
“This project is ideal for both first-time homeowners and investors looking at long-term value. The location, combined with ongoing infrastructure development, positions Khayalami Estate as a promising growth area,” she said.
Yesterday’s show day provided potential buyers with a firsthand look at the site, with many expressing optimism about the project’s prospects as Bulawayo continues to expand westwards.
As demand for affordable residential land increases, developments such as Khayalami Estate are expected to play a key role in addressing housing needs while opening up investment opportunities in the city’s growing suburbs.
