KwaZulu-Natal, Ballito, South Africa

This property presents a unique opportunity with two first-class residences located on a single stand, offering a combined 820 square meters of living space under one roof. Boasting exceptional sea views, design excellence, and high curb appeal, the homes were built 15 years ago by an award-winning British builder for his own family. Constructed to the highest European standards, the properties showcase meticulous attention to detail, premium materials, and robust maintenance.

Despite the harsh weather conditions in KZN, the properties remain in impeccable condition, free from dampness, cracks, or even a single dislodged tile. The main residence features a spacious four-bedroom layout, with a luxurious master bedroom that includes an en-suite bathroom and dressing room. There are two and a half additional bathrooms, a lounge, a dining room, a large kitchen, and a family room, as well as a separate office, a large entrance hall, and an ironing/utility room. Below, the home offers a tiled basement laundry and an extra-large double garage.

The second property, "The Boathouse," is a fully separate two-bedroom apartment with a vast undercover balcony offering splendid ocean views. Located above another extra-large double garage, the Boathouse also includes a ground-floor area with two rooms/offices, one featuring built-in cupboards and a sink, as well as a bathroom. Previously used as offices or a studio apartment, this area offers versatile potential.

Situated on over 1200 square meters of land, the properties feature extensively irrigated gardens, a swimming pool, and a built-in gas braai with a view of the Indian Ocean. The driveway can accommodate over 15 vehicles, providing ample space for family, friends, or clients. Additionally, the property is equipped with a backup water system that filters rainwater to hospital standards, ensuring "off-grid" capability during the wetter months.

The property is fully secure with high walls, electric fencing, and beams and is located within walking distance of the beach. The Boathouse offers various uses, from a professional consulting space to rental income opportunities. Additionally, the property is air-conditioned and boasts solid mahogany doors, ornate cornices, 3-meter-high ceilings, and sea-view patios. Located 20 minutes from King Shaka International Airport and two hours from both Umfolozi National Park and the Drakensberg mountains, this property presents an exceptional living experience with flexibility for family, business, or investment purposes. The owners are downsizing and offer the property fully furnished if desired.
