Privacy and a ticket to ride

Location is one of the most important factors in assessing the attractiveness of homes. New Territories East, one of Hong Kong’s most appealing areas, offers increasingly easy connections to the city, a good network of local, private and international schools, and access to some of the most beautiful country views to be found in the SAR.

Kao To, one of Hong Kong’s traditional luxury property belts, is home to two new major schemes. Developer Wing Tai Properties recently launched the La Vetta development, covering 318,000 sq ft, following the success of Le Cap, a previous project developed in the same area.

“La Vetta enjoys a spectacular view of Tolo Harbour and Pat Sin Leng mountain range, Sha Tin Racecourse and Shing Mun River,” says Chung Chi-lam, executive director, sales and marketing, of Wing Tai.

The 158 units at La Vetta vary from three- to four-bedroom town houses, to low-density buildings offering one- to four-bedroom flats.

“It offers a high level of privacy, but is also well-positioned at the heart of the transport links to the rest of Hong Kong and the mainland,” Chung adds.

Situated in Sha Tin, Kao Tao is close to the Lok Ma Chau border checkpoint, and easily connects to the East Rail and Ma On Shan lines. The Sha Tin-Central link, which is expected to be completed in the next few years, will reduce commute times to less than an hour.
