PRESTIGE! POSITION! PRIVACY!

Built over a large double stand on millionaires mile measuring 1,674 sq m within the secure, prestigious Royal Alfred Marina, this fabulous home offers unparalleled luxury and privacy. With improvements measuring 1,050 sq m, surrounded by expansive garden areas and established trees, it presents an opportunity for owning your private estate.
Featuring stunning sea and canal views, the property includes a private slipway and boathouse. No jetty. An easy stroll to the east beach through the security gate provides access to golden dunes and inviting long beach walks and swimming in the sea.
On entering through the intricately carved front door, a grand, curved staircase leads to the living areas, dining room, double kitchen, office (complete with a walk-in strong room), and a main en suite bedroom that leads onto the expansive balcony. Each room offers breathtaking views, with patios and braai areas on both sides of the house. Generous bedrooms and bathrooms, along with a separate external guest suite, ensure comfort and luxury.
The property also boasts three large garages with high doors and a spacious adjoining workroom with a cloakroom, offering potential for conversion into extra garages or a flat. Staff accommodation and ample parking space add to the property's appeal.
24-hour access to the sea attracts boating and fishing enthusiasts, with tranquil canals ideal for cruising. A trip up the meandering Kowie River, adorned with aloes, euphorbias, and game, is a delightful experience. Water Skiing is permitted in designated areas, and jet skis can venture out to sea.
The Royal Alfred Marina, opened to the public in 1990, is one of the best-kept secrets, offering a unique lifestyle in Port Alfred. Situated midway between Port Elizabeth and East London, both with major airports approximately 150 km away, the town provides convenient access to urban amenities. 43 Air School, just 5 minutes from town, is available for smaller, private aircraft.
Port Alfred itself boasts golden sand dunes, superb beaches, and the picturesque, meandering Kowie River. It is equipped with amenities such as a high school, private and public hospitals, retirement villages, restaurants, shopping malls, and the Royal Port Alfred Golf Course. Despite some road issues (which are being regularly maintained), the town offers a vibrant community and a range of cultural and sporting activities.
Grahamstown, located 60 km inland, offers access to excellent private schools including Kingswood College, St. Andrews College, and DSG (Diocesan School for Girls), as well as public schools such as Graeme College, VGHS (Victoria Girls High School), and PJ Olivier, along with the popular Rhodes University.
Owning a property within the marina provides a safe haven and an ideal setting for spending school breaks and holidays with family. Many businessmen choose to base their families here while commuting to business in nearby cities and internationally.
