STONE FISH STUDIO & ART GALLERY FOR SALE
There are commercial ventures that generate revenue, and then there are cultural landmarks that define a destination. For the past 21 years, Stone Fish Studio & Gallery has been the artistic heartbeat of Paternoster—one of South Africa’s most exclusive and sought-after coastal villages.
Now, as founder and celebrated artist Dianne Heesom-Green prepares to retire, this highly profitable, beautifully established creative enterprise is available to a discerning buyer looking to step into a prestigious lifestyle business from day one.
Unlike traditional retail setups, Stone Fish operates as a multi-layered commercial ecosystem, ensuring consistent, diversified revenue throughout the year:
• Primary Gallery Sales: An esteemed portfolio of relationships with leading South African contemporary artists.
• The Working Studio: A fully operational hub for creative workshops, classes, and interactive artist-in-residence experiences.
• Ancillary Revenue: Profitable secondary streams including an on-site artisanal nursery and high-volume seasonal tourism trade.
The business occupies a beautifully adapted, character-filled heritage site designed to optimize both the viewing and creation of fine art. In alignment with Paternoster’s strict architectural conservation policies, the physical heritage building is retained by the landlords and is not for sale. However, they are fully onboard with the transition, offering the incoming owner a secure, 3-year recurring lease with an exclusive right of first refusal.
Stone Fish enjoys an international reputation and a deeply loyal collector database that would take decades to replicate. To protect this rich legacy, Dianne Heesom-Green will provide a comprehensive, structured mentorship and handover period, offering the new owner full access to historical data, supplier networks, and community goodwill.
"Creating a welcoming atmosphere... has always been my vision," notes Dianne. "The foundations have been laid. The opportunity now exists for someone new to write the next chapter."
The foundations have been laid. The reputation is flawless. The community is waiting.
