Exquisite Riverfront Property in Colchester – A Hidden Gem!

SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE MANDATE

Presenting a PRIME real estate opportunity situated in the heart of Colchester, along the breathtaking Sunday’s River. Renowned for offering one of the most captivating locations, this property is a once-in-a-lifetime investment that truly exemplifies the adage: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. With unparalleled views stretching across the Addo Elephant National Park hills and just a 5-minute boat ride to the serene Sunday’s River Mouth, this home offers an idyllic setting where you can enjoy beachside strolls with your pets.

This property boasts private riverfront access with two boundary markers extending into the Sunday’s River, ensuring exclusive use of your own jetty. This means uninterrupted, pedestrian-free access between your home and the river. Imagine witnessing kudu gracefully wandering across the riverbank or pink flamingos gracing the waters, while the majestic call of the Fish Eagle echoes from its nest in the nearby trees. This is the essence of living in what locals affectionately call their hidden paradise.

In the current South African market, building costs range from R8,000 to R13,000 per square meter for high-end homes, with premium builds exceeding R20,000 per square meter. Given these costs, replicating a 512m2 home of this quality and riverside location would be a costly endeavor. Yet, rivers like this are rare and irreplaceable, making this property a unique investment opportunity that cannot be missed.

For those seeking a lock-up-and-go holiday retreat, this home is perfection. The current owners' meticulous care ensures everything is in perfect working order. Its face brick finish promises low maintenance and an aesthetically pleasing view from the river.

Inside, discover a warm, cozy ambiance with an open-plan design that flows seamlessly, offering spectacular views at every turn. The kitchen features stacking doors and windows opening onto a deck and braai area for sunny, wind-free days, while also providing access to a sheltered back patio by the swimming pool for windy days. The lounge, also with stacking doors, extends to the deck and features an adjacent open-plan TV room and study—ideal for remote work.

The ground floor houses two bedrooms sharing a bathroom and separate toilet, with a private lounge and kitchen area that can be independently rented out thanks to its own entrance. Upstairs, three riverfront bedrooms offer stunning vistas, with two rooms sharing a bathroom. The main bedroom includes an ensuite and dressing room. The second floor boasts two additional bedrooms sharing a bathroom, one of which offers beautiful river views.

A spacious double garage with a separate workspace provides potential for conversion into an additional bedroom if desired. This property is filled with too many features to list and must be seen to be truly appreciated. It represents incredible value for your investment, as all the furniture is also included with the asking price.
