Description

EXCLUSIVE MANDATE ON SHOW- STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT FROM 10:00-13:00 Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this Thesen Island canal home offers the rare combination of effortless everyday living and sound long-term investment. With a double private berth directly on the water, your mornings begin with sunlight dancing on the canal and evenings end with reflections of the sky drifting across the surface. Whether used as a primary residence, lock-up-and-go retreat, or income-producing rental asset, the property is designed for flexibility. Inside, light and volume set the tone. High ceilings, natural airflow and well-balanced proportions create an easy sense of calm. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the lounge and dining room, perfect for winter gatherings, while folding glass doors open the space entirely to the canal-facing patio in summer. Life expands outdoors. Children paddle in the canal, kayaks drift past, boats glide by. Here, the view is not just something to look at, it’s part of daily life. For investors or future-proof planners, the home comes with approved plans for a fourth bedroom, pool, and double tandem garage, allowing you to unlock capital appreciation without delays or architectural hurdles. Solar backup power ensures uninterrupted uptime, and furniture is negotiable, enabling a turnkey holiday rental setup from day one. Why Thesen Island Performs — Lifestyle & Yield Aligned Thesen Island consistently ranks among South Africa’s most desirable and secure residential estates, attracting both high-end homeowners and international rental guests. 24-hour security and pedestrian-friendly design make it ideal for families and long-stay visitors. Harbour Town is a short walk away, offering cafés, boutiques, and award-winning restaurants. Limited canal-front stock drives strong capital growth, while short-term rental demand remains high year-round. Whether it's coffee on the deck at sunrise, a paddle from your private jetty, or a sunset dinner overlooking the marina, every moment feels like a holiday and that’s exactly why the demand never fades.
