25 Hectares of Coastal Land Waiting for the Right Vision

This property is best suited to investors with a long-term vision who are prepared to complete the necessary environmental and planning approvals before development.

25 Hectare Coastal Peri-Urban Investment Opportunity

Positioned in a highly desirable coastal corridor of the Eastern Cape, this 25-hectare peri-urban property offers a rare opportunity for visionary investors seeking to create a distinctive destination in one of South Africa’s most naturally beautiful regions.

The property falls within Peri-Urban Zone 2 & 3 (Coastal) and Agricultural Zone 1, a zoning combination that supports a variety of rural lifestyle and tourism-based land uses. Subject to the relevant statutory approvals, the property lends itself to concepts such as eco-tourism retreats, boutique lodges, guest farms, low-density residential estates, equestrian estates, or wellness destinations designed around the “cluster and space” development principle.

Set across 25 hectares of largely untouched land, the property currently includes an older existing structure but is otherwise essentially a blank canvas, offering the freedom to design a unique development that works in harmony with the surrounding landscape.

Importantly, this is not a plug-and-play development site. Any future development will need to follow the appropriate regulatory processes, including environmental assessment procedures such as a Basic Assessment Report (BAR) as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and compliance with municipal planning frameworks and coastal management regulations.

However, once these processes are completed and approvals obtained, the zoning framework allows for low-density, high-value rural and tourism-oriented development, creating the potential for a remarkable lifestyle investment with strong long-term value.

Key planning principles include:

Minimum subdivision size of 5 hectares

Maximum density guideline of 2 residential units per 5 hectares

Promotion of clustered development with preserved open space

Strict environmental protection to maintain the natural landscape and coastal ecology

For the right investor with a clear vision and an appreciation for sustainable development, this property represents an opportunity to create something truly exceptional — a carefully curated destination that blends luxury, nature, and privacy.

This is a long-term strategic investment opportunity rather than an immediate development project, but for those willing to work through the necessary planning and environmental approvals, the rewards could be significant.

The property currently includes a simple wooden cottage positioned to take advantage of the surrounding natural landscape and distant ocean views with a balcony wrapping all around.

This older structure offers one bedroom, one bathroom and an open-plan kitchen and living area, and could be renovated into a charming retreat or utilised as a practical site office during future development.

Within a few steps of the wooden cottage, you’ll find a small splash pool and braai area, perfectly positioned to overlook the surrounding landscape. From here, you can enjoy expansive, uninterrupted sea views that stretch to the horizon, creating a peaceful setting to relax and take in the beauty of the coastline.

While modest in its current state, the structure provides a useful starting point for owners planning improvements to the property, allowing for accommodation or operational use while longer-term plans and approvals are implemented.

I am looking forward showing you this beautiful property.
