4 bedroom house for sale in Montagu Central

Opportunities like this are rare. Set on an expansive 12,371 m2 erf, this remarkable property offers the freedom and atmosphere of a farm-style retreat while being perfectly positioned within the heart of Montagu.

Bordered by three streets, stretching from the white bridge near Montagu West to directly opposite the award-winning Montagu Caravan Park and De Bos Estate, and enjoying 235 metres of river frontage, the location alone sets this property apart.

With three separate entrances from Middle Street and Brown Street, access is effortless and flexible. Despite its central position, the property feels wonderfully private, with only one quiet neighbouring residence and the gentle presence of the river and surrounding greenery.

Main Residence

The living spaces flow seamlessly outdoors to a covered patio with built-in braai, overlooking the fibreglass swimming pool, lush gardens, and a large lined pond complete with a small bridge and resident geese. Mountain views complete this tranquil setting, making it ideal for both everyday living and weekend entertaining.
