(S & E)
A Property with a Story… and Endless Potential.
Some properties are simply houses. Others are opportunities waiting for someone with vision. Set in the highly sought-after Chelsea area, this exceptional property offers that rare feeling of being in the country, yet still conveniently within the city. Surrounded by established trees, beautiful palms, productive fruit trees and expansive grounds, it is a property that immediately captures the imagination.
The original main home was unfortunately destroyed by the 2016 PE fires, but the solid foundations remain intact, having been inspected by engineers. Much of the rubble has already been removed, leaving a blank canvas for a new vision.
And what a canvas it is…
With its beautiful natural setting, substantial grounds, borehole, agricultural three-phase electricity, irrigation and multiple existing structures, the possibilities are extensive.
THE POTENTIAL IS HUGE
Imagine creating:
• A beautiful new family home
• An Airbnb or boutique accommodation
• A small lifestyle or touch farm
• An intimate wedding or function venue
• Equestrian facilities with horses and arenas
• A productive vegetable-growing operation
• Your own small orchard and agricultural lifestyle
• Additional cottages for family, guests or rental income
The property already has many of the ingredients needed to bring these ideas to life.

There is much more here than just the remains of the original home.
Main house
• Original solid foundation remains
• Foundations inspected by engineers
• Main home destroyed by fire in 2016
• Much of the rubble has already been removed
Accommodation
• Unfinished two-bedroom cottage
• Two bathrooms

AND THERE'S EVEN A POOL…
A chip-tiled swimming pool is already on the property. The pump has never been connected, so its current operational condition has not been confirmed.
SEE THE VISION
This is not a conventional move in ready home and that is precisely what makes it so exciting.
It is an opportunity to take an established piece of Chelsea land, with good foundations, water, electricity, agricultural potential, mature trees and multiple existing structures, and transform it into something truly unique.
For the buyer with vision, this could become a magnificent family estate, lifestyle property, income-generating venture, small events venue, Airbnb destination or equestrian retreat.
**The land is here.
