A RARE KOWIE RIVERFRONT DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY - PORT ALFRED

Build your vision on the banks of the Kowie River

Seize the opportunity to secure one of the last remaining vacant riverfront plots in this exclusive and peaceful enclave on the Kowie River in Port Alfred.

Set on 1427m², this exceptional property offers a rare combination of riverfront living, privacy, nature and development potential, while being only approximately five minutes from Port Alfred town centre.

Surrounded by a nature reserve, the setting is wonderfully secluded, yet conveniently close to everything you need.

A BOUTIQUE RIVERFRONT ENCLAVE

This is a very limited opportunity. The enclave comprises only nine stands, with just four homes established to date.

That means there are very few opportunities remaining to secure land in this unique riverfront setting and this particular plot is considered one of the standout positions within the development.

GROUP HOUSING APPROVAL ALREADY SECURED

One of the propertys most significant advantages is its existing Group Housing zoning and approved development rights.

The approved development plans provide for:

4 cottages

1 communal room

5 garages

This creates exciting possibilities for a purchaser looking to develop a small collection of riverfront cottages, create an income-generating accommodation opportunity, or establish a private family retreat.

The Group Housing zoning forms part of the propertys current zoning, providing valuable long-term development potential, subject to the applicable municipal and statutory requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

An Environmental Assessment was previously approved by DEDEAT in relation to the proposed development.

It is important to note that this previous environmental approval does not automatically transfer to a new owner. The purchaser would still need to apply for the required environmental approval for their proposed development.

The good news is that the Environmental Specialist who undertook the previous work is prepared to assist with the new application at a substantially reduced cost, as much of the underlying information and environmental research remains relevant.

A new floor plan and elevation drawings would, however, need to be prepared for the proposed buildings.

The exact current environmental requirements, validity periods and any extension provisions should be confirmed with the relevant authorities before development proceeds.

AND THEN THERE IS THE KOWIE RIVER

Imagine having the river as your backdrop every day.

The property offers the potential to create your own private riverfront lifestyle, with opportunities for boating, fishing, kayaking and simply enjoying the tranquility of the water.

There is also potential to install a private jetty, subject to the required approvals from the relevant authorities.

NATURE AS YOUR NEIGHBOUR

The surrounding nature reserve creates a wonderful feeling of space and privacy.

There is no dense residential development here. Instead, you have a peaceful environment where the river, trees, wildlife and natural surroundings become part of the lifestyle.

And yet, Port Alfred town centre is only approximately five minutes away.

It truly offers the best of both worlds:

Secluded riverfront living without being isolated.

SERVICES & IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION

The following should be taken into consideration by prospective purchasers:

No municipal water is available

Water storage tanks will therefore be required

Soak pits will be required

Electricity availability is provided

Building requirements must be confirmed with the relevant authorities

Any private jetty will be subject to the required approvals

Environmental approval will need to be obtained by the new owner

New floor plans and elevations will be required for the proposed development

AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE SOMETHING UNIQUE

Vacant riverfront land is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

A riverfront plot offering Group Housing zoning, approved development rights, an Environmental Assessment history, nature reserve surroundings and proximity to Port Alfred presents an unusual opportunity for the discerning buyer.

Whether your vision is to create:

A boutique riverfront accommodation retreat

Four private cottages

A unique family compound

An income-generating investment

Or your own private Kowie River lifestyle destination

the foundations are already here.

THE RIVER IS YOUR BACKDROP.

NATURE IS YOUR NEIGHBOUR.

YOUR VISION CREATES THE FUTURE.
