Vacant Land Residential for sale
Create a private riverfront retreat on the Kowie River in Port Alfred, minutes from town and a nature reserve — approved group-housing zoning offers development potential on 1,427m².
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 property`s most significant advantages is its existing Group Housing zoning and approved development rights.
The approved development plans provide for:
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 property`s 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.
