BUILT TO LAST, READY FOR THE FUTURE: CHARACTER HOME WITH DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY

Description

Discover a charming piece of history with this solidly built 88-year-old home. Retaining many original period features, including suspended wooden floors (some with intriguing trapdoors!), wooden sash windows, high ceilings, beautiful fireplaces and picture rails, this property offers a unique opportunity. While requiring a fair amount of tender loving care, it promises to be a true treasure for those who appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of older buildings. This property offers a wealth of accommodation, including: • Six bedrooms • Two bathrooms • Entrance hall • Dining room • Comfortable lounge • Pantry • Kitchen • Two convenient internal storerooms • A single garage, complemented by two additional storerooms • A separate and self-contained two-bedroom flat featuring an open-plan lounge and kitchen area, plus a bathroom. POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT The second part of the property has huge potential for development and is conveniently located to provide access to essential amenities, major shopping centers in nearby Shelly Beach and Port Shepstone, and a variety of tourist attractions along the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast. Residents can enjoy the proximity to beautiful beaches while still being within easy reach of retail and leisure activities. While Umtentweni has basic medical services, residents can rely on the more extensive facilities available in nearby Port Shepstone and Shelly Beach for hospital care, specialist services, and a wider range of clinics. Umtentweni and its surrounding areas boast several attractions such as the Umtentweni and numerous other nearby public beaches and Oribi Gorge Nature Reserve (21-25 km), to name a few. The South Coast is a golfer's paradise with several courses in the vicinity, including Port Shepstone Golf Course within a few kilometers of Umtentweni. 3 Water tanks provide backup during water outages. PROPERTIES OF THE STAND Offering significant development potential, this 2.425 ha stand has already undergone initial preparation with clearing and partial terracing. The existing young vegetation allows for straightforward further clearing. The property is three-side fenced and features the convenience of three separate access points. A key asset is the direct access from Rethman Drive, facilitating easy entry for heavy machinery required for construction. Furthermore, a road servitude on the southern boundary will transition to municipal responsibility as the property is developed. The stand is currently zoned as residential medium density. This is a blank canvas for a visionary investor to create something out of the ordinary and we are calling all Property Developers, Renovation Enthusiasts, and Savvy Investors!
