Joint mandate: Open to all offers on this unique property in Kleinmond’s mountain avenues. Comprising a fisherman’s cottage which begs for a makeover as well as two separate residential dwellings offering a total of 10 bedrooms in all and nearly as many bathrooms, it provides a clean slate for investors: As residence for a large extended family to live in, to rent out part for additional income, or use everything as long- or short-term visitor accommodation.
The various areas offer separation and privacy aplenty, and there is loads of parking and outside verandahs for entertainment space. All the bedrooms are more than generously proportioned, some even accommodating double and single beds as well as freestanding cupboards and vanities, with room to spare.
The historic fisherman's cottage sits at the street front and is separated from the other buildings. It comprises 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 3 living areas (one with a built-in braai) and a spacious kitchen. A plus is that it does not enjoy heritage status and therefore has no restriction on renovation guidelines. While the rest of the property is used for rental, this cottage could be used as your main residence and reception area should you wish to use the rest of the property for rental purposes.
The second building consists of two parts, one comprising a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence with a kitchen, its own entrance, and a patio with built-in braai. The other is a separate 1-bedroom apartment with kitchenette and shower room with its own entrance. Additionally, there is a bar room with a separate entrance and a store room for clutter.
The third building also comprises two separate units, one a 2-bedroom apartment with kitchenette and breakfast nook with its own entrance and patio, the other a 1-bedroom apartment with its own entrance, dining room, shower room, and kitchenette.
All kitchens are served by gas and electric for cooking. A double carport provides undercover for two cars, while the rest of the yard of 1 335 sqm provides ample space for additional parking and gardening.
The owner is also wishing to let go of all the additional property around the residence, such as the caravans, boats, and other miscellaneous items. The acquisition of furnishings could be discussed with the seller.
Building plans are available for review.

The availability of property in Kleinmond is finite. The town is situated in the heart of the Kleinmond Coastal and Mountain Reserve, itself part of the greater Kogelberg Nature Reserve. Bordered by estuaries and wetlands both east and west, a mountain range to the north and ocean to the south, the town’s borders are fixed, with no room for expansion. The result is that only existing open land can be developed, or existing structures upgraded.
