Casa Ballito

First-to-market frontline home on Milkwood Drive, Zimbali Estate

**VAT Payable at 15% - No Transfer Duty - VAT inclusive price R28,750,000**

Offered for sale for the first time since it was built, this home holds a frontline position on Milkwood Drive, elevated above a natural greenbelt that separates the property from the ocean and keeps its sea view uninterrupted. The two-level home is generously proportioned at 530m², freehold, and in very good, well-maintained condition throughout.

A spacious entrance hall introduces the scale of the home, with a staircase and lift connecting the two levels. On the entrance level, two air-conditioned king-sized bedroom suites open directly onto the garden and pool deck, each with direct sea views, built-in cupboards and carpeted floors — giving guests or family members a genuine sense of independence while remaining close to the main living areas. The entrance-level lounge leads out onto the pool terrace.

The upper level opens into a substantial run of open-plan living and entertaining space: a second lounge, a family/TV room and a separate dining area, all opening onto a sea-facing deck and covered pergola. The kitchen on this level shares the same outlook, fitted with granite worktops, a centre island, eye-level oven, extractor fan and generous built-in storage, with a separate scullery and laundry handling the practical side of the home. Laminated flooring and air-conditioning run throughout, and a fitted bar with indoor braai room extends the entertaining space regardless of season.

The main bedroom sits on the upper level with its own sea-facing deck, a walk-in dressing room, and a full en-suite bathroom with bath, shower, double basin, bidet and separate toilet.

Across both levels, the living spaces open onto decks, garden terraces and the gunite pool, keeping the sea view part of daily life rather than something viewed from a single vantage point. Garden lighting extends the outdoor spaces into the evening.

Set on a 1,228m² stand, the property includes two automated garages with direct internal access, dedicated golf-cart parking, secure visitor parking and staff accommodation. Its scale, condition and first-to-market status suit use as a permanent residence, a holiday home, or a secure lock-up-and-go base, and are likely to appeal to executives, semigration buyers and investors, alongside international purchasers drawn to the estate.

As a Zimbali Estate resident, the home has access to an 18-hole championship golf course, tennis, squash, padel and basketball courts, cricket nets, a five-star gymnasium free to owners and long-term tenants, an Astroturf soccer pitch, communal pools, and direct access to Zimbali’s 3.5km stretch of beach. Walking trails wind through the estate’s conservation areas, home to over 200 bird species, with viewing decks positioned to take in the waterfall, lake birdlife and — in season — migrating humpback whales.

Zimbali is widely regarded as a benchmark coastal estate on the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast, a short drive from Ballito and King Shaka International Airport.
