Enjoy a vibrant student rental lifestyle in Scottsville, a short walk to UKZN and Scottsville Mall, with a private pool and entertainment area — eight bedrooms, six bathrooms.
Situated in the heart of Scottsville, one of Pietermaritzburg’s most sought-after investment precincts, this expansive and versatile property presents an exceptional opportunity for investors seeking strong rental demand, long-term growth, and excellent income-generating potential. Perfectly positioned just 550 metres (approximately a 10-minute walk) from the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) Main Campus Golf Road entrance, the property is ideally suited for student accommodation, while its close proximity to Scottsville Mall and surrounding commercial hubs also makes it highly attractive to working professionals and multi-let tenants. With its strategic location and flexible configuration, this property offers the ideal foundation for a thriving rental investment with consistent occupancy demand.
Set on an impressive 2,000 square metres of land, this well-maintained Scottsville residence boasts eight generously sized bedrooms and six bathrooms, offering ample accommodation capacity for student housing, multi-letting, or extended family living. The thoughtfully designed layout includes a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining room, welcoming entrance hall, and cozy lounge areas that create a seamless flow between living and entertainment spaces. Stepping outside, residents are welcomed by a charming veranda overlooking the lush garden and sparkling swimming pool, complemented by a full recreational entertainment area — perfect for relaxation, social gatherings, or communal tenant enjoyment.
Adding tremendous value to the property are three separate flatlets currently occupied by family-oriented tenants, already generating approximately R10,000 per month (R120,000 annually) in rental income. One of the flatlets is effectively a standalone home on its own, featuring two spacious bedrooms, a full bathroom with shower and jacuzzi, a comfortable lounge, and a fully fitted kitchen with built-in cupboards — making it ideal for premium rental accommodation or private living quarters.
The property’s current configuration presents the exciting potential to accommodate approximately 20 students sharing, which could generate an estimated rental income of around R70,000 per month (approximately R700,000 annually over a 10-month academic cycle) based on the 2025 NSFAS Grade-B funding rates, which continue to escalate annually. This creates a compelling opportunity for investors looking to enter or expand within the booming Scottsville student accommodation market.
