A Rare Opportunity On The South Bank Of The Swakop River

Properties in the Swakop River Plots are already special, but this one occupies an even more unusual position. Only four plots are situated on the southern side of the river, making this an exceptionally scarce opportunity to own more than 10 hectares in this unique part of Swakopmund.

Set on approximately 10.09 hectares, the property offers an incredible sense of space and privacy, yet has been developed in a way that keeps everyday living refreshingly simple.
At its heart is a comfortable three-bedroom home, deliberately modest in size and easy to maintain. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the centre of the home, with a fireplace adding warmth and character. The living space extends onto a generous covered terrace, creating an inviting place to sit outside and enjoy the quiet surroundings and open landscape.

The main bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, with two additional bedrooms and a second bathroom serving the rest of the home. A double garage completes the residence.
What makes the property particularly appealing is that you can enjoy the freedom of a large river plot without the maintenance demands of an oversized house or extensively developed grounds.

The area immediately around the home has been enclosed with a brick wall. This was not done to separate the residence from its natural surroundings, but rather for a very practical reason: the owner wanted to keep her pets safely separated from the animals on the property. Beyond the residential enclosure, the larger property remains game fenced.

The home is also well equipped for this lifestyle, with a borehole and submersible pump, municipal water connection, solar geyser and solar power system with panels, inverter and batteries. Paved walkways and the paved area in front of the garage further contribute to the property’s low-maintenance nature.
And there is still room to create more.
Despite the existing residence, the sheer size of the land leaves exciting possibilities for the future. The property can still be subdivided, creating the opportunity for an additional residence to be developed on a separate portion, subject to the necessary approvals.
This makes the property equally interesting for someone who simply wants to preserve the space and privacy for themselves, as it does for a buyer thinking ahead — perhaps a second home for family, a separate residence for the next generation, or the future subdivision of part of the property.

The Swakop River Plots offer a lifestyle that is difficult to reproduce elsewhere: wide open land, riverine surroundings, privacy and space, while still being connected to Swakopmund. With only four properties occupying this side of the river, opportunities here are particularly limited.

This is a property for someone who doesn’t necessarily want more house.
They want more land, more privacy, more freedom and more possibilities — with a home that is comfortable enough to enjoy and simple enough to maintain.
