Property description

RE/MAX Kowie is proud to be mandated to sell this unique, rare and iconic beachfront property. The property is 4.25HA in size with approximately 126m of beach frontage where the high water mark of the pristine Indian Ocean, is the boundary. Covered in thick indigenous bush, with only a small footprint cleared years ago, for each of the 9 self-catering cottages that were built at the time. The other area to be cleared was for the main family home, set on an elevated ridge, offering pristine sea and bush views. The back section of the property is undeveloped. The back boundary is the front of the homes adjoining the suburb above, some 400 odd meters away. This is an incredible opportunity to secure a prime, "on the beach" property, situated close to the western boundary of Port Alfred, on the shores of the warm Indian ocean.

The property is run as a self-catering accommodation business, with the owners having rented out the cottages for over 40 years. The owners are wishing to scale down and retire, offering the buyer a chance to secure what really is one of the finest beachfront properties along the entire Eastern Cape coastline.  There is huge potential to more actively market the accommodation business or to just enjoy the quiet, peaceful lifestyle, amazing position, and privacy this property has to offer.  The property is being sold as is, lock stock and barrel, with the cottages all fully equipped for a comfortable holiday, with various workshop items as well as maintenance and stock items included in the sale. The property is zoned RESORT, with the Primary Use being registered as HOLIDAY ACCOMMODATION, while there is Consent Use for the following: Holiday Housing, Licensed Hotel, Place of Entertainment, Resort Shop, Social/ Sport and Tourist Facility. (Consent Use doesn't automatically imply this is allowed, one would have to apply to Ndlambe Municipality for a particular consent use stated, to be granted)

The cottages are positioned in such a way for complete privacy, that one hardly sees the other cottages, offering amazing solitude, natural surroundings, and just the sound of the birds and the waves crashing in front.  Each cottage is designed to offer a relaxed and enjoyable stay, with an outside braai, and with most having breathtaking sea views and easy beach access. The cottages are fully equipped sleeping a maximum of 4 adults and 2 children.  The beach in this area is known for great rock and surf fishing, snorkelling, and there is even a tidal pool, for kids to play in. Birding on the beach or on the grounds of this natural forest, is incredible, according to many birders. Long beach walks towards Kasouga and Kenton, and swimming and surfing can also be enjoyed. A private boardwalk links the cottages to the beach.

The large main family home lies in the centre of the property and offers stunning 180 deg sea views. With an entrance hall, living room, formal living room with fireplace, dining room, office/study, 3 spacious bedrooms, a bathroom with a separate toilet, kitchen with Oregon cupboards, laundry, and separate guest flatlet with ensuite.  There is a good size swimming pool and entertainment area with braai facility on the north and sunny side of the home. A large double garage also lies beneath the main home. The garden of the home is low maintenance with various aloes, cycads and a succulent rockery.

The property is well secured with a monitored security system, beams and cameras at the main entrances. There is a vehicle security gate at the entrance and all cottages have their own security alarms. 

Extras include water tanks, a 3 KVA inverter system which offers basic back up power to certain plugs points in the house. The cottages have gas stoves and geysers.  Wifi is also available. 

This opportunity could be shared by a group of investors or like-minded people - if you are tired of the rat race, and have made your money, come and spend it wisely on a property offering the best possible position to maximize your long term investment. It simply doesn't get any better than this. It is a uniquely beautiful prime beach front property!
