Even the problem seems to rather defeat the purpose of a property. A
property should be very simple - why do you need to override it and
call super()? Doesn't this rather imply that you've gone beyond the
normal use of properties *already*?

Subclassing and overriding are part of the interface of a class,
albeit an interface that only a subset of other classes will use.
Think carefully about why, if this is meant to be made available, it
isn't simply a method call.
