Unmatched Views, Modern Living & Income Potential — A Rare Village Trio!
This is a property that truly has it all. A contemporary main home, spectacular sought-after views, a fully separate income-generating cottage, and—rarely seen—the adjacent plot included in the sale. Opportunities like this don’t come around often, and it’s an absolute privilege to present a property of this calibre.
Positioned on level land and capturing an extraordinary 180-degree panorama—from the Humansdorp mountains across to the iconic Huletts wave—this home enjoys what many consider the most desirable, irreplaceable views in St Francis Bay Village. The main residence, beautifully modernised, features a tiled roof (no thatch) and a stunning contemporary kitchen that flows seamlessly into the open-plan living area, complete with a cosy fireplace. Large doors open onto the level lawn, swimming pool, and an inviting undercover patio that links to the dining area. It’s the perfect spot for relaxed living and memorable gatherings around the built-in braai.
The main bedroom suite spills out to the garden and makes the most of those exceptional views. Updated with fresh modern finishes, it offers a double vanity, bath, shower, and a smartly designed walk-in wardrobe.
Two additional en-suite bedrooms sit on the opposite wing, both renovated with the same contemporary attention to detail. One of these also opens onto the lawn and enjoys its own ocean outlook.
The spacious garden allows room for future extension or development—carefully planned to take full advantage of the magnificent views beyond. A separate laundry, generous storage, and an outdoor shower (ideal for rinsing off after a day at the beach) complete this practical, thoughtfully designed home.
The separate cottage, accessed via its own private driveway from a different road, is an income-generating gem with complete privacy from the main house. Regularly rented for weekends, holidays, and peak seasons, it includes a modern kitchen, a renovated en-suite bedroom, and a generous covered patio where guests can relax in their own dedicated space. An outdoor shower adds to the beach-holiday charm.
And then—what truly elevates this offering—the adjacent plot is included in the price. With 1 267m² of prime land, it presents endless opportunity. Design a second dwelling with separate access down the existing driveway, create a multi-home family estate, or simply secure long-term value while protecting your views.
In terms of value, versatility, and future potential, this property stands in a class of its own. With a proven income stream, a spectacular view line, and land for future development, you’ll struggle to find anything that matches this incredible opportunity in St Francis Bay Village.
ST FRANCIS BAY - Discover the Coastal Charm of St. Francis Bay and Cape St. Francis
Nestled along the stunning Sunshine Coast of South Africa’s Eastern Cape, St. Francis Bay and Cape St. Francis are coastal jewels celebrated for their natural beauty, relaxed lifestyle, and world-class property offerings.
With its pristine white beaches, scenic canals, iconic lighthouse, and vibrant community, the region offers a lifestyle that effortlessly blends laid-back coastal living with outdoor adventure.
Named in 1575 by a Portuguese sailor in honour of St. Francis, the Patron Saint of Sailors, the area has a rich maritime heritage. In 1954, sugar magnate Leighton Hulett transformed the landscape by developing the St. Francis Bay Canals—a unique man-made waterway system connecting the Kromme River to the Indian Ocean.
Today, these tranquil canals are home to some of South Africa’s most desirable real estate, offering luxury living with panoramic views of the ocean, mountains, and indigenous flora.
The area is made up of three distinct sections:
The Bay – Known for its canals, white-walled homes with thatched roofs, and relaxed coastal vibe.
The Port (Port St. Francis) – A working harbour and residential enclave offering private beaches, a marina, and stunning sea views.
The Cape (Cape St. Francis) – Home to the historic Cape St. Francis Lighthouse, built in 1878, and known for its windswept beaches and excellent surf.
St. Francis Bay and Cape St. Francis became internationally renowned in 1969 with the release of the legendary surf film The Endless Summer, which showcased the region’s perfect waves.
Today, it's still a mecca for surfers, but offers so much more:
Water sports: Windsurfing, kitesurfing, kayaking, and deep-sea fishing
Land adventures: Horseback riding on the beach, mountain biking, and scenic hikes
Wildlife: Dolphins, whales, and over 200 bird species delight nature lovers year-round
Nature reserves: Explore indigenous fynbos and fauna in the Irma Booysen Flora Reserve and other protected areas
River cruises: Enjoy peaceful boat trips along the picturesque Kromme River
For golf enthusiasts, the region offers two prestigious golf courses, including The St. Francis Links, ranked among South Africa’s top 10, offering a world-class challenge amid breathtaking coastal scenery.
Beyond its natural attractions, St. Francis Bay offers a warm and vibrant community.
From canal-side dining at the Big-Time Taverna to local favourites like Chokka Block, 22 Eatery, The Quays Restaurant and The Brewery, the town is rich in culinary experiences. Quaint shops, art galleries, and friendly locals add to the village-like charm.
Port St. Francis, a gem within the bay, offers an exclusive lifestyle where residents enjoy private beaches, waterfront properties, and serene ocean views. Life here moves to the rhythm of the tide, with yachts bobbing in the marina and sunsets lighting up the harbour—a daily reminder of just how special this place is.
St Francis Bay is ideally located - just 90 minutes from Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) – gateway to the Garden Route and major airport access and 35 km from Jeffreys Bay – another iconic surf destination with a laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere, shopping, and entertainment.
