AUCTIONEER’S NOTE: WITH SPECTACULAR VIEWS OF ISLAND LAKE WITH AGRI II ZONING, THIS PARTIALLY FIRE-DAMAGED HOME, OFFERS IMMENSE POTENTIAL.

Properties alongside Island Lake rarely come onto the market. Take advantage of this rare opportunity! Sale of a serious nature due to Circumstances.

The long-established double-story home on a 4,000m2 stand was recently damaged by an electrical fire, which burnt the first floor of the property.

The property is now in need of a serious renovation or development. Around 1000m2 of the stand is relatively flat and the balance is sloped. The huge advantage to the property is the Agri II zoning this allows (under consent use) several benefits such as;

  • Operating a guest house, tourist facilities
  • Building a second dwelling
  • A shop or vet practice, etc

Idea! 

– Capture the tourist market and develop a stunning guest house, or

– Build two homes for the extended family and create a perfect family retreat.

The Stand looks in a Westerly direction and is less than 50m from the banks of Island Lake. Offering unobstructed views of the Lake and Outeniqua mountain range.

The existing home is a double story:

The ground floor: Consists of a triple garage, extra length, with three separate doors. On either side of the garages are 2 self-contained attached cottages with a kitchenette, bathroom, and bedroom/living area.

The 1st floor: consisting of a living area with a viewing deck, large kitchen, and an ensuite bedroom on either side of the living area.  The fire destroyed the first floor with the living areas, kitchen, and ensuite bedroom on the right wing completely burnt and the bedroom on the left wing damaged.

The ground floor and 1st floor are separated by a wooden floor and ceiling, the wooden floor was severely damaged by the fire.

The ground floor was saved from burning.

At face value, it appears that the house could be saved by having the 1st floor demolished and rebuilt. The Sellers have not had an engineer’s opinion on this.

Enjoy lazy Sundays watching the yachts from the yacht club. Be mesmerized every evening as you see the glowing sunset in the distance over the Outeniqua mountains.

If you are looking for an idyllic home with outstanding lake views or creating an income-generating guest house this property is ideal.

Don’t hesitate to view and be ready to see the full potential the property has to offer.

A perfect location, close enough to nearby Wilderness Village to experience the absolute best of both country and village living.

A rare opportunity is not to be missed.
