Riverfront Gem with Built-In Tenants — A Prime Investment in River Club’s Rising Market

SOLE MANDATE

Beyond the 24-hour manned gate, River Club unfolds as a harmonious estate of light-coloured homes with green roofs, its quiet roads winding through immaculately kept gardens with mature trees and vibrant blooms. Residents enjoy a resort-like lifestyle, complete with a clubhouse, a huge sun-dappled pool, tennis and squash courts, and a cheerful children’s playground, all stitched together with a natural holiday-at-home atmosphere. The estate runs along the beautiful Piesang River, where timber boardwalks curl through rustling reeds and wetlands alive with birdsong. Across the shimmering water, a greenveld cliff rises in a sweep of lush forest, creating a secluded, nature-rich world for morning strolls and sunset wanders — all within easy walking distance of shops, cafés, and Plettenberg Bay’s famous beaches.

Homes in River Club have become synonymous with exceptional capital growth, with values rising year after year as demand intensifies for secure, central, resort-style living — both for full-time residents and for short- and long-term rentals. Any property purchased here offers strong capital returns, yet this riverside home comes with an even more advantageous scenario. The current owners’ ideal sale is one in which they remain as long-term tenants: a rare situation that, for the right buyer, comes with enormous advantages. This arrangement offers stable rental income from the day of transfer, with no vacancy periods, no advertising costs, and no uncertainty about tenant quality. You inherit a reliable occupant who knows and loves the home, ensuring it remains exceptionally well cared for. Combine that with River Club’s consistent upward trajectory and strong demand, and this low-maintenance, low-risk investment becomes a premium capital-growth prospect in one of Plettenberg Bay’s most dependable estates.

Set along the coveted riverside strip enjoyed by only a handful of homes, this charming cottage-style residence revels in its rare front-row position. Overlooking the serene landscape is a northeast-facing porch with a built-in braai, pull-out awning, and space for dining or lounging, where you can savour the idyllic view. Inside, the air-conditioned open-plan living space features a cozy lounge with a wood-burning fireplace, and a dining area — both set beneath elegant crystal chandeliers. The kitchen is fitted with a curved counter peninsula with casual seating, black granite countertops, white cabinetry, an induction hob and oven, full appliance provisioning including laundry, and a door that leads to the drying yard. All three bedrooms feature built-in storage and ceiling fans, with the master enjoying peaceful river views and an ensuite bathroom, and the two additional bedrooms sharing a detached bathroom between them. Stairs by the entry rise to a bright mezzanine with lookout windows and a gently pitched ceiling, creating a versatile space that works wonderfully as an office, creative studio, or perhaps a children’s lounge. A two-car detached garage completes this charming home — an uncommon and attractive feature in the estate.

Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to secure this gorgeous riverfront home in Plett’s most reliably appreciating estate.
