Seaside Longships, Plettenberg Bay

JOINT MANDATE

In Plettenberg Bay, it’s all about location, and this property certainly has a great one. It lies only 500 metres from the glorious sands of Robberg Beach—a seven-kilometre stretch of Blue Flag coastline—and just 700 metres from a sparkling new shopping centre. Its main-road presence also unlocks a unique opportunity to create a business frontage with excellent exposure, subject to municipal approval.

The two-bedroom, one-bathroom home features an open-plan living space with a fire-warmed lounge, dining area and kitchen, yet has solid bones to be renovated into something magnificent. Set upon a level 782-square-metre stand, with walls enclosing the generous, east-facing backyard, there is plenty of space to let your creative vision come to life.

Certain renovation plans are already in motion, including the addition of a pool, continuing the wall so that it encloses the front of the property, and repurposing one of the two garages into a self-contained flatlet primed for rental in this high-demand holiday area.

Set within a steadily appreciating suburb and surrounded by substantial, beautifully finished homes that set a strong benchmark for value, a property you can improve is certainly a smart investment. Fewer and fewer opportunities of this kind remain available as buyers snap up renovation-worthy homes and transform them into grand, modern residences to either live in or flip, so don’t miss your chance to purchase this blank canvas in an unbeatable location.
