House for sale - Saint Lucia (South Africa)

HOUSE ANNEX GUESTHOUSE FOR SALE IN ST LUCIA ESTUARY, SOUTH AFRICA An architectural gem in a unique and very cozy village on a peninsula on the Indian Ocean, in the middle of nature and enjoying the beach and ocean. A country with peace, space and beautiful nature where the sun almost always shines. ASKING PRICE € 750,000.00 (R 15,500,000) depending on exchange rate change. Buying with multiple owners or buying on the basis of hire purchase is negotiable. You can buy the house as an investment or as a (second) home. See for description next page and our beautiful website ### .Over the years, renting out a few rooms has evolved into a boutique guesthouse (Serene-estate Boutique Guesthouse) with 7 rooms. In the early days we often closed the guesthouse and went on vacation. After a number of years, we decided to hire a manager and make extra rooms. The manager lives in the guesthouse and runs the entire guesthouse. That means we still travel a lot or go to our apartment near Ballito. Nothing is nicer to go out and meanwhile the money is earned (investment). St Lucia is located on the northeast coast directly on the Indian Ocean, 100 km from the border with Mozambique. After a busy life in big cities we wanted something different, live close to nature, more relaxed but not in the middle of nowhere. St. Lucia is actually surrounded by the large and unique iSimangaliso Wetland Park (330,000 ha) which is South Africa's first UNESCO World Heritage Site. Social contacts and basic facilities such as shops, restaurants, hospital, medical centre, airport and sports in the area are important to us. Good school facilities are also nearby. St Lucia has all this to offer. It is the most beautiful, pleasant and safest village in South Africa and is also internationally recognized as a major tourist destination. Summer and winter nice weather, subtropical, beautiful beaches and other well-known wildlife parks around us. A mecca for fish lovers with the possibility to purchase your own boat and store it next to the house. After living in our guesthouse with love and pleasure for 17 years, we have come to an age to take a new step. Not an easy step to let go of our beautiful house/guest house and really retire. We enjoy living in St. Lucia, but we realize, given our age, that it is time to change our lives and downsize. However, we are not leaving South Africa, because this has become our new homeland. Our house/guesthouse (modern architecture in an African context, Dutch design) borders directly on the Wetland Park with complete privacy and tranquility. Many birds (bird paradise), small antelopes, monkeys and other small game, but also hippos visit our garden regularly (also walk freely through the streets). With our large and deep saltwater swimming pool, it is a pleasure to enjoy peace and nature from a lounger. In the first period we lived in the big house, but because we wanted to rent out some more rooms and needed an apartment for the manager, we created our living space on the first floor in 2 large rooms (± 120 m2) with a view of the sea. If you buy the house as an investment, these rooms can be used as guest rooms. The floor plans of the ground floor and 1st floor of the high-rise building can also be easily changed to the original layout. We used to use the ground floor as a bedroom and office and the 1st floor as a large 120 m2 living room/kitchen (now split into 2 large rooms). The 2 layout options are available on photos and drawings. Other formats are also possible through adjustments. The current owner, as a former architect, is available to assist with this. The guesthouse normally has a turnover of approximately R 4.5 million. Costs of R 1 -1.5 million at 65% occupancy. The guesthouse is being sold as an ongoing business. The property is VAT registered (BV construction) and can be transferred with a VAT zero rate. But it can also be purchased as a private residence. Then the VAT must be paid (15%). Sales price excluding VAT R 15,500,000.00 / approximately € 750,00.00 (depending on currency). The price is negotiable. The fully furnished (self-supporting) house/guesthouse is sold with all the trimmings including website, 50 KVA generator, 2 water boreholes and CCTV. In other words, the new owner who wants to continue as a guesthouse can immediately continue the operation. With the help of our accountant and civil-law notary, we help you to complete the transaction. Want to know more?

wp:paragraph Een architectonische parel in een uniek en reuze gezellig dorp op een schiereiland aan de Indische oceaan. Midden in de natuur en genietend van strand en oceaan. Een land met rust, ruimte en een prachtige natuur waar bijna altijd de zon schijnt. /wp:paragraph wp:paragraph Beschrijving woonhuis / guesthouse /wp:paragraph wp:paragraph In 2005 hebben we op wat oudere leeftijd (eind 50) een nieuwe stap gezet om een modern huis te ontwerpen. Het guesthouse is gebouwd in St Lucia Estuary, KwaZulu-Natal. Het doel is om hier rustig te wonen, te reizen en een paar kamers te verhuren. In de loop der jaren is het verhuren van een paar kamers uitgelopen tot een boutique guesthouse (Serene-estate Boutique Guesthouse) met 7 kamers. In de beginperiode hebben wij vaak het guesthouse gesloten en gingen op vakantie. Na een aantal jaren hebben wij besloten om een manager in dienst te nemen en extra kamers te maken. De manager woont in het guesthouse en runt het hele guesthouse. Dat betekent dat wij nog steeds veel reizen of naar ons appartement dichtbij Ballito gaan. Niets is fijner om lekker op stap te gaan en ondertussen wordt het geld verdient (investering). /wp:paragraph wp:paragraph St Lucia ligt aan de noordoostkust direct aan de Indische Oceaan. Op 100 km van de grens met Mozambique. Na een druk leven in grote steden wilden we iets anders, dicht bij de natuur wonen. Meer ontspannen maar niet in de middle of nowhere. St. Lucia wordt eigenlijk omringd door het grote en unieke iSimangaliso Wetland Park (330.000 ha). Dat als eerste UNESCO-werelderfgoedlijst van Zuid-Afrika staat. Voor ons zijn sociale contacten en basisvoorzieningen belangrijk. Winkels, restaurants, ziekenhuis, medisch centrum, luchthaven en sporten in de buurt is belangrijk. /wp:paragraph wp:paragraph Goede schoolvoorzieningen zijn dichtbij. St Lucia heeft dit alles te bieden. Het is het mooiste, gezelligste en veiligste dorp van Zuid-Afrika. St Lucia wordt internationaal erkend als een belangrijke toeristische bestemming. Zomer en winter mooi weer, subtropisch, prachtige stranden en andere bekende wildparken om ons heen. Voor visliefhebbers een walhalla met mogelijkheid om een eigen boot aan te schaffen en naast het woonhuis te stallen. /wp:paragraph wp:paragraph Het volledig ingerichte (self-supporting) woonhuis/guesthouse wordt met alles erop en eraan inclusief website, 50 KV generator, eigen water via 2 waterputten en CCTV verkocht.
