Unique sophisticated home on Admiral Island

The Cape West Coast is attracting increasing international attention as a pristine seaside playground, offering luxury homes in an unspoilt setting renowned for its spectacular spring-flower superbloom, excellent sailing waters and ocean-fresh seafood.

And along this coast one of the most desirable locations is the Port Owen Marina at the mouth of the Berg River in St Helena Bay. This cold-water bay offers calm and sheltered ocean-sailing and fishing conditions while for water sports enthusiasts, the river is navigable for small craft for almost 40km upstream. Sightings of the African Fish Eagle are also quite common here.

Situated between the town of Velddrif and the fishing harbour of Laaiplek, the marina is also surrounded by protected wetlands that are home to some 350 species of land, sea and river birds and underline the natural beauty of this whole coastline.

This is nowhere more evident than on Admiral Island, a private enclave within the marina that is accessible only via a bridge with 24-hour security monitoring and boasts exceptional homes.

Chas Everitt International is thus very proud to be able to offer one of these outstanding properties to prospective buyers.

This beautifully-located residence at the south-eastern side of the island offers unparalleled safety and exclusivity while living off grid with 18 Solar panels, 8.5KW Inverter, 2 Hubble batteries and three backup water tanks. The nearby ocean, river, canals and wetlands definitely offers the best aspects of a small-town, coastal lifestyle combined with easy access to shops and other amenities. It is also only 90 minutes by road from the Cape Town international airport.

Designed with family holidays and relaxed entertaining in mind, this home has four spacious bedrooms (all with en-suite bathrooms); an expansive loft with en-suite bathroom and balcony; a modern open-plan kitchen with a separate laundry/scullery/utility room; light-filled double volume living area with sliding doors leading to a braai and games room; which in turns opens onto the sheltered swimming pool and the outdoor firepit area; as well as an oversized double garage with built in cupboards and shelves.

Notable additional features include an interesting garden carefully landscaped to showcase indigenous, water-wise plants, a large fireplace in the central living room, and quality sophisticated finishes throughout the home.

The seamless indoor-outdoor transitions really capture the attention here. You have the opportunity to take in the peaceful ambiance of this special island with ever-changing views of the wetlands within easy walking distance where one can marvel at the flocks of flamingos and waders serenely feeding nearby, thousands of cormorants taking off to go fishing and the mullet schooling in the water of the nearby canal.
