WHERE INVESTMENT MEETS RIVERFRONT LIVING
Imagine waking up beside the tranquil waters of the Kowie River, surrounded by nature, privacy and space — while having the convenience of Port Alfred town centre just five minutes away.
Now imagine that this extraordinary setting comes with 12 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, six independent accommodation units, a private jetty and multiple opportunities to generate income.
