Seaside Longships Family Home Steps from the Beach with Income Potential

SOLE MANDATE

The automatic gate glides open, and you park in the extra-wide, extra-deep double garage — a space generous enough for storage, surfboards, bikes, or even a hobby workshop. Or perhaps you’ve just wandered back from the beach, sand still clinging to your toes, and slip instead through the pedestrian gate, straight into the home’s lavender-scented entry courtyard that’s wrapped in mature tropical trees and a grappa-wood boundary wall.

A welcoming porch guides you through the front door and into the open-plan living space, where a TV lounge to your right is warmed by a cozy fireplace, and a dining area ahead naturally connects to the charming kitchen. Here, an island with wood countertops hosts casual breakfast seating, while soft grey whisper-close cabinetry and a porcelain brick-tile backsplash add a warm, tasteful character. Function follows form with ease, with a gas stove, provision for a bar fridge, and a tucked-away scullery, laundry, and walk-in pantry, keeping everyday practicality out of sight.

Across the living space, the home opens into a spacious entertainment lounge, wrapped in sliding glass doors that dissolve the boundary to an expansive, sun-drenched porch and a covered dining space with a built-in braai, allowing the space to adapt to the day — closed for shelter, or drawn wide to invite in the cool sea breeze. With a west-facing orientation, dinners unfold beneath skies aglow with sunset, while steps lead down to a shimmering pool surrounded by loungers that make home feel like your own private resort.

Back inside, a guest bedroom with built-in storage is served by a detached bathroom — which also works beautifully for day guests — and a flight of stairs ascends to the home’s private quarters that enjoy double-glazed windows throughout. Whitewashed wood floors on the landing guide you left to the master bedroom with built-in storage, a charming angled roof, and an en-suite bathroom with a luxurious tub, while two additional bedrooms are served by a detached bathroom across the hall. Practical features include a backup inverter and both a gas and electric geyser, ensuring peace of mind and a reliable hot water supply.

A passage alongside the garage leads to a fully self-contained cottage, complete with a private courtyard, covered porch, open-plan living space, kitchenette, bedroom, and bathroom. On the opposite side of the house, a generous drying yard leads to a second flatlet, currently unfinished, yet already configured as a studio-style space with a bedroom, kitchenette, and bathroom. These additional spaces provide exceptional flexibility to be used for visiting family or friends, multi-generational living, or lucrative short- or long-term rentals.

The spectacular location elevates this opportunity even further — set just 200 metres from Robberg Beach, this is the kind of proximity that drives constant demand; close enough to hear the waves, wander beachward on a whim, and fully embrace Plett’s renowned coastal lifestyle. With shops and everyday amenities only a three-minute drive away, daily convenience is never far, completing a wonderful home that balances lifestyle, flexibility, and one of the town's most compelling coastal locations.
