Western Cape, Plettenberg Bay, South Africa

SOLE MANDATE

After rolling through the coded gate, you wind down tree-shaded roads past the synchronized white-and-green homes of Strandmeer Estate until a flower-lined driveway guides you into your two-car tandem garage. You’re warmly welcomed by the immaculate garden that wraps around the home, with vibrant blooms, mingling greens, and sweet aromas that float on the breeze. At its heart, a patio with a dining and sitting area invites you to savour the garden’s beauty all day long, before leading you through the front door.

Inside, the charm is undeniable. The open-plan living space consists of a cozy lounge, a cheerful dining room, and an adorable cottage-style kitchen with a gas hob and oven. Provisioned for all major appliances, including laundry, the kitchen flows outdoors to a sunny, enclosed drying yard.

To the right of the entry, the master bedroom enjoys peaceful garden views, built-in storage, and an en-suite bathroom, while across the lounge, two additional bedrooms share a detached bathroom.

Venturing upstairs, you pass the fourth and final bedroom on your right before arriving at a light-filled TV lounge tucked beneath the home’s distinctive roofline. It’s an inviting space—perfect as a children’s hang out or for family movie nights—and doors open to a wide southwest-facing balcony where you can soak up the sun, enjoy garden views, and even glimpse the Keurbooms River only a 50-metre stroll away, where safe waters and salty breezes invite afternoon fun within the secure confines of the estate.

Practical features include an inverter backup system, a water spike for reliable supply, and an ADT alarm system for peace of mind.

Though this rare gem offers the privilege of a tranquil riverside setting, it’s only a 10-minute drive from the conveniences of Plettenberg Bay, and for those days when the ocean calls, the infinite sands of Keurboomstrand Beach are close at hand. Ideal as a family haven, this delightful home also carries strong potential as a lock-up-and-go holiday escape, so you can savour the beauty when you’re here and earn income when you’re not.
