About this property

Directly above the Kariega River, with uninterrupted views towards the river mouth and the sea, this exceptional single-level home occupies one of Kenton-on-Sea's most sought-after positions. Meticulously maintained throughout, the home combines attractive exterior architecture with a design that fully capitalises on its remarkable setting. It takes in expansive views of the river, the unspoilt valley, the river mouth and the coastline beyond. The result is a private, generously proportioned home with easy access to both the beach and village. Living and Entertaining The main living areas are light and airy, with open, generous spaces designed around the view. Stacking doors open onto the balcony from both the family room and formal lounge, creating an easy flow between indoor and outdoor living and making the home well suited to entertaining and larger gatherings. The professionally designed kitchen forms the heart of the living space, with granite worktops, a gas hob, generous preparation areas and a large island with breakfast seating. Storage is excellent, with a walk-in pantry and a large separate scullery and laundry, both of which can be completely closed off from the main kitchen. A formal lounge sits to one side, with full-width picture windows, wide river views, a wood-burning fireplace and direct access to the balcony. The formal dining room can be closed off from the living area when not in use and opens onto a sheltered, private courtyard with a water feature, an established garden and a generous outdoor area well suited to braaiing and entertaining. A separate guest toilet serves the main living areas. Terracotta tiled floors and tongue-and-groove ceilings add warmth and character throughout. Bedrooms and Guest Accommodation Accommodation in the main house includes three en-suite bedrooms, two of which face the river and open directly onto the balcony. Both river-facing suites include walk-in dressing rooms, full en-suite bathrooms and beautiful water views. Wide doorways in the second suite add to the home's practical, accessible design. A large study, with its own access and the ability to be closed off from the rest of the house, offers flexibility as a fourth bedroom. Across the courtyard, a fully independent guest suite includes a reception room, bedroom and bathroom, creating a private space for guests, extended family or older children. Garages & Storage An integrated double garage with workshop area connects directly into the house via the scullery. A second double garage at road level accommodates additional vehicles, a boat or sporting equipment. Infrastructure Solar power, a 20kW lithium inverter, and 60,000 litres of water storage ensure the house runs independently of municipal supply. A drinking water filter is fitted in the kitchen. The alarm system includes perimeter beams. Additional Features A gate at the foot of the property provides direct access to the river. An outdoor shower with hot and cold water is located in the courtyard – convenient for rinsing off after a day on the beach. The main beach is accessible on foot along the river tow path below the house. High boundary walls ensure privacy from the road, and the quiet position places the house well away from the seasonal traffic and crowds.
