Some homes are all about polished finishes and modern perfection. Others have something rather more difficult to manufacture: character, a sense of history and the promise of becoming something truly special. This delightful old-fashioned cottage in De Kelders has all three.
Within easy reach of the sea and the famous Klipgat Caves, swimming beach and beautiful coastal trails, this is a property that puts the very best of seaside living within walking distance. Whether you're dreaming of a laid-back holiday home, a weekend escape or an investment on the ever-popular Whale Coast, there's plenty here to capture the imagination.
An enclosed, sun-filled porch provides a welcoming introduction, flowing into adjoining living and dining areas that lend themselves to easy, informal living. Think slow breakfasts, afternoons with a book and relaxed gatherings with family and friends. The cottage-style kitchen, three bedrooms and two bathrooms offer comfortable accommodation, while outside, a beautifully established garden provides a generous splash of greenery and colour. Add a sheltered entertaining area with built-in braai and a partial sea view, and you have all the ingredients for an appealing coastal retreat.
De Kelders, adjoining Gansbaai and approximately 30 minutes from Hermanus, has earned a loyal following among those who prefer their seaside living a little quieter and closer to nature. From seasonal whale watching and indigenous fynbos to scenic coastal walks, swimming spots and the remarkable Klipgat Caves, this is a corner of the Overstrand with plenty to explore.
Well-priced and brimming with old-fashioned appeal, this is an opportunity to put your own stamp on a property in a particularly desirable stretch of coastline. It may need a little love and imagination, but the foundations for something rather lovely are already here.
Bring your ideas, your paintbrush and your seaside dreams. This little cottage could be the beginning of something special.
