Property Description:
Portion 1 of the Farm Ladywood Estates comprises a substantial full-title landholding of approximately 5.80 hectares (57 977 m²), fronting Knysna Road in Plettenberg Bay, within the Bitou Local Municipality on South Africa’s Garden Route. The property is currently undeveloped, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a landholding of scale in a coastal node that has shown sustained residential price growth over the past decade.
Beyond its raw land value, the property carries meaningful redevelopment upside. It has previously been the subject of detailed mixed-use development planning between the current owner and a third-party developer, encompassing a proposed 812-unit residential rental scheme alongside a 10 200 m² neighbourhood retail centre, with the underlying land value assessed at R 42 690 000 under that structuring. While this sale is for the land in its current, undeveloped state, that planning work offers a useful indicator of the scale of value the site can support for a buyer with the capital and appetite to pursue development.
Plettenberg Bay is an established Garden Route town with a strong tourism economy and consistent demand for both residential and rental accommodation, making this a development opportunity well suited to developers, land bankers, or investors seeking exposure to a high-growth coastal market.
Held in full title by a single registered owner, the property carries no sectional title complexities, and — as a vacant portion — no levies are currently applicable, with rates and taxes not yet assessed against the undeveloped land. This is a straightforward acquisition for buyers seeking to secure a strategic landholding on one of the Western Cape’s most sought-after stretches of coastline. Reason for sale: urgent disposal.
