SECURITY & ESTATE SETTING ------------------------- The property is situated within a fenced estate, with most of the property already newly fenced. This provides a greater degree of privacy and security while maintaining the peaceful atmosphere associated with Bathurst country living. There is currently **no homeowners' association and no monthly levy**, providing the purchaser with greater freedom and avoiding the ongoing levy costs commonly associated with sectional title or managed estates. SOLD AS IS ---------- The property is offered **voetstoots / as is**, in its current unfinished condition. Prospective purchasers are encouraged to conduct their own inspections and satisfy themselves regarding the condition of the improvements, outstanding construction and installation work, services, water systems, electrical and plumbing requirements, and any approvals or permissions that may be required to complete or modify the property.
