7 Bed House in St Francis Bay Canals

Dual Mandate North-Facing Iconic Landmark Home . Dual Mandate - An Iconic landmark property in St Francis, standing proud above the Canals and Village, designed by Nico Vermeulen 20 years ago.

This traditional, elegant, majestic house positioned on the highest point in St Francis Bay, is on the largest plot on the canals. It could be called the Palace of St Francis as all rooms are large and stately.

Views from the entire home cover 360 degrees, so each area has its own aspect of either the Port, Santareme, Village, Links, the mountains and canals, the spit, sea, and coastal area to Port Elizabeth. No view is the same and one could sit for days enjoying the sights. This must be one of a handful of properties that experience the uninterrupted views of the sunrise over the sea and sunset over the mountains.

The atmosphere of the property exudes peacefulness and privacy and the beautiful internal atriums of greenery, bring the garden into the house.
