A love story that started with 4 walls Hello, it’s me. My family is leaving with one foot on a plane, and I am staying behind, waiting for you. When they found me, I was dark, closed off, and tired. They didn’t just fix me — they completely transformed me. They gave me a second life. They knocked down my walls and opened me up, so the sun now filters through me all day. I am light, I am bright, I am breathing. And they touched everything — truly, nothing was left untouched. My driveway has been paved — a proper welcome. My roof has been redone — I am strong and safe for many years to come. I have been repainted inside and outside — I stand so proud now. All my floors have been redone. My patio has been enclosed, so indoor and outdoor became one. My decking around the pool has been completely redone — it looks sooo good now. My kitchen has been redone — bright, cheerful, full of love. All my bathrooms have been modernised. My old timber banisters were replaced with sleek modern aluminium — I feel so elegant now. And then there is my favourite place… My entertainment area with the built-in braai. This is where the magic happened. My large windows allow the mountain and sea views to marry seamlessly with the inside, so you never feel separate from those spectacular sunsets. And in winter, ohhh — when that fireplace is on, I become the cosiest, warmest hug. That is where all the memories were made — laughter around the braai, winter stories by the fire, friends who became family. I am a 540m² split-level home on 745m² of loved land. I am ideal for a multi-generational family, a family just starting out who wants room to grow, or a clever family who wants to run an Airbnb for extra income — I can give you all of that. And yes… did I mention my views? My mountain views, my sea views, and my spectacular sunsets that paint the sky every evening just for you. I was once overlooked. Now I am loved by everyone who walks through my door. I have held so many happy memories. I am ready to hold yours.

See for description next page and our beautiful website ### Description house / guesthouse In 2005, at a somewhat older age (late 50s), we took another step to design and build a modern house in St Lucia Estuary, KwaZulu-Natal with the intention of living here quietly, traveling and renting out a few rooms.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.
