Own a Slice of History With Private Beach Access for Just R16.5 Million!

Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. Situated in one of Gordon’s Bay’s most sought after beachfront positions, this historic residence was originally the first coach house built along the coastal route to Hermanus. Cherished for generations, it was purchased by a great-grandfather as his retirement cottage, it now presents a unique opportunity for a new chapter.

Whether you choose to enjoy it as is, sympathetically restore its original character, or undertake a modern renovation, this remarkable property offers unmatched potential in an irreplaceable location.

Just steps from the shoreline, the home provides direct private access to the beach while remaining within easy walking distance of the village centre, harbour, yacht club, scenic coastal paths and hiking trails.

The generous accommodation includes:

4 spacious bedrooms
4 bathrooms
A large modern kitchen with pantry and separate scullery
Elegant living and dining areas centred around a cosy fireplace
A sunroom designed to maximise the spectacular ocean views

Some original wooden floors, high ceilings and period charm evoke memories of a bygone era, while modern conveniences ensure comfortable everyday living.

During Winter, the fireplace becomes the heart of the home. In Summer, life revolves around the breathtaking sea views, outdoor entertainment areas, swimming pool, jacuzzi, expansive lawn and private pathway leading directly to the beach.

The beautifully positioned garden overlooks both beach and ocean, offering some of the most spectacular sunsets Gordon’s Bay has to offer.

Adding further value is a self-contained cottage featuring its own bedroom, lounge, kitchen and bathroom, with private access. Ideal for guest accommodation, holiday rentals or generating additional income.

Practicality is another rarity here, with:

Garage
Off-street parking for at least four additional cars
Proven history as a successful holiday rental property

Historic charm. Absolute beachfront living. Uninterrupted ocean views. Private beach access.

A truly once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Gordon’s Bay’s most distinctive coastal homes. The necessary permissions and plans for renovation or building work has to be obtained.
