Western Cape, Plettenberg Bay, South Africa

Tri Mandate

You arrive through the 24-hour manned gate of Boardwalk Estate, where rows of sleek monochrome homes stretch out in a uniform harmony that calms the eyes and the mind. After parking in the double garage, you approach the front door through a wood-accented porch, and step into the open-plan living space—clean, bright, and modern, with stone-tiled floors and soft ambient lighting tucked into ceiling details.

To the left, the dining space guides to the kitchen, with quartz countertops, an island with casual seating, a gas hob, and oven. The integrated fridge and freezer are expertly concealed behind sleek ash-blue cabinetry, while a scullery provisioned for major appliances, including laundry, opens to a sunny drying yard. To the right of the entry, you pass the internal access to the garage and a guest cloakroom to arrive at a spacious lounge warmed by a cozy wood-burning fireplace.

The entire living area flows outward through sliding glass doors to a private patio, where a built-in braai nook and serving counter stand at the ready. The orientation basks the home in gentle morning sunlight, while the neat green lawn and elevated garden create a private, pleasant place to enjoy the wonderful weather of Plett — and is a safe, happy hangout for your furry friend.

Back inside, a softly lit staircase with elegant glass balustrades guides you to the upper level, where you pass two well-appointed bedrooms served by a detached bathroom, and reach the master suite. The gabled ceiling soars skyward, glass doors open to a lovely private balcony with a tranquil view, and the en-suite bathroom features double vanities and a luxurious bathtub.

This modern home enjoys many thoughtful extras, including a backup inverter for peace of mind, a rainwater collection tank, and a pre-installed Wi-Fi router. A short stroll brings you to the estate’s clubhouse, where camaraderie gathers over indoor and outdoor seating, two built-in braais, and a sparkling pool.

Boardwalk Estate’s premier location makes it desirable as a family home, but also as a lucrative rental opportunity or lock up 'n go holiday home. To one side is a new shopping centre, so daily essentials are always within easy reach, while to the other, a serene boardwalk winds over a vlei alive with birdsong as it delivers you to the glorious sands of Solar Beach. Whether you choose to live here full time, lock-up-and-go for holidays, or generate income through short-term rentals, this elegant home is perfectly suited to it all.
