Property Details
This property currently features three dwellings that are income-generating rental houses, providing an immediate revenue stream for the new owner. In addition, there are three storage sheds and a borehole on the site, offering useful supporting infrastructure.
The land measures a total of 16.08 hectares (160,851 square meters / 39.74 acres) and is historically known as Cherry Farm, which formed part of one of the original Norwegian settler farms established in 1882. Ideally positioned on the Lower South Coast, the property is located just 3 km from the Port Shepstone CBD, making it both private and conveniently central.
The site offers stunning panoramic sea and inland views and lies only 1.5 km from the beach. Accessibility is excellent, with direct connections to the N2 highway and two tarred access roads—one being a servitude and the other designated to become a public road. It adjoins sought-after residential areas, including the established suburb of Oslo Beach and the exclusive Broadview Estate, positioning it within a prime residential growth node. As one of the last remaining viable parcels of land earmarked for residential development in the region, this property represents an exceptionally rare opportunity.
Of the total land area, approximately 5.9 hectares (59,000 square meters) has been identified as developable, with a gentle gradient of 1:7, making it suitable for immediate residential projects. The remaining 10 hectares (100,000 square meters) forms part of the Boboyi River Valley greenbelt, which can be integrated into the development for eco-friendly initiatives, set aside as leisure and recreation space, or retained as a natural conservation buffer. The altitude of the developable area ranges between 34 m and 73 m above sea level, offering excellent elevation for views and layout flexibility.
The property is currently zoned for agricultural use, though rezoning for residential development is highly viable given the surrounding established and emerging residential estates. Municipal water and electricity are already supplied to the site, further supporting development potential.
The location is both strategic and convenient. Within 4 km there are English and Afrikaans pre-primary, primary, and high schools, as well as shopping centres, retail outlets, and employment hubs. Private and provincial hospitals are within easy reach, and leisure amenities such as golf courses, sports facilities, and places of worship are also nearby. The property lies just minutes from the Oribi Toll Plaza, providing direct access to the N2 South en route to Transkei and the Eastern Cape, as well as the Old South Coast Road to Margate. Key landmarks include its proximity to Durban (115 km south), the nearest protected bathing beach (2 km), Shelly Beach (8 km), Margate (15 km, a popular holiday destination), and the Wild Coast Casino (45 km).
Situated within the Hibiscus Local Municipality, this property is perfectly placed for investors and developers seeking to unlock its full potential. Combining history, natural beauty, accessibility, and strong demand for residential expansion, it offers the foundation for a highly marketable development.
