Main Residence:
The main house features four spacious bedrooms, all offering superb ocean views. The master suite includes an en-suite bathroom, a walk-in dressing room, and there are an additional two and a half bathrooms to serve the rest of the home. The large kitchen family room is outfitted with bespoke solid African mahogany units, granite work surfaces, a large center island, and a crystal chandelier. A separate office, expansive lounge dining room, large entrance hall, and ironing/utility room complete the main level. Below, a tiled basement laundry area and an extra-large double garage offer ample storage and functionality.
The Boathouse:
The second property, affectionately known as "The Boathouse," serves as an independent two-bedroom apartment with a huge undercover balcony and magnificent ocean views. The apartment features a large lounge/dining area, a fully equipped kitchen with cream units and granite surfaces, and a full bathroom. Below The Boathouse is another extra-large double garage, designed to accommodate a boat, as well as ground floor accommodation that includes two rooms/offices—one with built-in cupboards and a sink—plus a bathroom. This space was previously utilized as two offices or a studio apartment, offering flexibility for various uses.
Estate Features:
Size and Location: The properties sit on over 1,200 square meters of land, featuring lush, irrigated gardens, a sparkling swimming pool, and an integral gas barbecue area overlooking the Indian Ocean. The level driveway accommodates 15 or more vehicles, making it ideal for entertaining family, friends, or clients.
Off-Grid Capabilities: A backup water system collects and filters rainwater to hospital standards, providing enough supply to run the property "off-grid" during wetter months.

Security: Enjoy peace of mind with 2.5-meter high walls, an electric fence, and beams surrounding the estate. This secure and tranquil area is within walking distance of the beach.
Versatility: The Boathouse is perfect for a professional seeking to use it as a consulting room, or it can serve as a source of rental income from tourists or long-term tenants. The property is also ideal for extended family visits, offering privacy and comfort.
