BARGAIN, and position, position, incomparable position! Where the Breede River meets the Indian Ocean, and where this immaculate retro abode is sited.
Soundly constructed in 1986, and superbly maintained over the years by the original owner, this four-bedroom home offers views, views, glorious views - from every room. The best ever in Witsand – arguably along the South African coastline.
Situated in a stretch of Fynbos - one of seven houses only - on the edge of the village - it’s akin to living on a private little island where indigenous wildlife such as small antelope and mongooses still visit the water-wise garden. It’s nothing-short-of-sensational-views include the beautiful estuary, the vast cobalt waters of the Indian Ocean, the magnificent Southern Right Whales and their offspring breaching in the Bay (July to November), a wide variety of birds on the river banks, sunrise across the ocean to the east, and sunsets over the Breede in the west. In short, pure magic on offer!
As for Witsand, known as one of the last unspoilt places on the South African coastline, the apt words of a visitor resonate:
“Witsand – a place forgotten by time where the waters of the mighty Breede River mingle with the warm Indian Ocean, this unspoilt paradise is a place of scenic wonder”. It’s a peaceful haven, and with the Breede offering 337km of navigable waters – the longest in South Africa - it’s Mecca to ALL manner of water sport enthusiasts. Find better? Well-nigh impossible!
Witsand, with the largest concentration of Whales in one Bay, is the most important Whale Nursery in South Africa, and offers 4km of white sandy beaches for walks/jogging which stretch all the way to Still Bay and the Duivenhoks River. Swimming is safe (tidal pool for the children) – as is the area as a whole. Its part of the Cape Floral Region’s World Heritage Site, and a bird-watcher’s paradise.
The area is home to the endangered Cape Mountain Zebra, Cape Vulture and South Africa’s National Bird – the Blue Crane. Witsand and surrounds present a rich diversity of fauna, flora and unspoilt nature. With over 260 bird species, the rare spectacle of scores of Blue Cranes in the fields along the way, and 3 000 hectares of pristine Fynbos on its doorstep, this century-old coastal village – once a bustling port known as Port Beaufort - is a nature lover’s dream!
And the absolutely delightful, bright and airy 80's home is the ultimate abode for those who need ‘all things water’, adventure and nature to nourish their souls. It will breathe joie de vivre into the jaded city dweller, inspire artists and authors alike, and it’s a superb holiday home.
