Welcome to Chaceley
The peace-of-mind neighbourhood, hidden in plain sight
Think of Chaceley as a small, upscale village tucked right into the middle of everything you need. It isn't a concrete jungle or a generic modern complex. It is gated, green and genuinely friendly.
Neighbours know each other by name, children play outside until the light fades, and the loudest sound on a Sunday morning is birdsong drifting in from the forest.
Safe and outdoor-focused
A private indigenous forest inside the gates, and security so tight that children still ride their bikes in the street until sunset.
The ultimate drop-off zone
Directly opposite Curro Hillcrest, with top schools, private healthcare and the best of Hillcrest's shopping about five minutes away.

The backyard forest
Your own indigenous forest, inside the gates
Few estates can say this. Within Chaceley's secure perimeter lies a preserved patch of wild, indigenous forest, laced with walking paths and alive with birdsong. It is where morning walks begin, dogs stretch their legs and children discover the world, all without leaving home.
Walking trails
Shaded paths for an unhurried morning stroll or an easy loop after dinner.
Bird-watching
Excellent spotting along the forest edge, right on your doorstep.
Dog walks
A green escape for the four-legged members of the family.
Safe exploring
Room for children to roam and discover nature, safely inside the fence.
Family life
Old-school freedom, the way it used to be
Because security is uncompromising, life inside feels wonderfully unguarded. Children ride their bikes along the lanes until the sun goes down, friendships form over garden walls, and neighbours actually know each other.
A children's play park
Jungle gyms, swings and open playing fields for games that go on all afternoon.
Quiet, paved lanes
Low-speed tarred and brick-paved roads, built for walking, jogging and learning to ride.
A boutique community
Around 50 homes: small enough to feel close-knit, large enough to keep your privacy.
Security
Total peace of mind, around the clock
Security is the quiet foundation of everything at Chaceley. Layered protection means you can lock up and go with confidence, and your family can simply enjoy being outside.
24-hour manned security
A staffed gatehouse, day and night, every day of the year.
Strict access control
Controlled entry at the gate for residents, guests and contractors alike.
Guard patrols
Regular patrols keep a watchful eye on the lanes and the perimeter.
Electrified perimeter fence
An electric fence secures the full boundary of the estate.
The homes
Natal Colonial outside. Easy, modern living inside.
Chaceley's freestanding townhouses and cluster homes are built in the classic Natal Colonial style: deep verandahs, cottage-pane windows and clean white lines, each set in its own walled garden. Inside, layouts are open, light and made for family life.

Buying at Chaceley
Homes here rarely come up for sale
With only around 50 homes and very few owners willing to leave, demand stays high and values hold well. When a home does come onto the market, it tends to move quickly.
Once people move in, they don't want to leave.
