Price disclosed on application to serious buyers only.

Nestled amidst lush greenery and beautiful beaches, this residence embodies timeless architecture in a pristine setting. The cigar-smoke building offers a stark yet refined contrast, captivating viewers with spectacular sunsets over Mzingazi Lake and the adjoining green belt. Designed by local architects Chris and Louise Boshoff, the home showcases their masterful understanding of space, order, and transformation. This immaculate spatial design reflects authentic placemaking in the small town of Richards Bay, once inhabited by the owners and their guests.

The residence features a seamless merger of interior and exterior spaces, with well-designed ''third spaces'' or semi-public thresholds offering captivating views and memorable experiences. Situated on a consolidated double lot of 2902 sqm, the 778.28 sqm double-storey main house includes two additional flatlets, four enclosed garages, a woodworking workshop, swimming pool, and a spacious open grass area to the west.

The First Flatlet is a 62 sqm single-bedroom unit with a kitchen, en-suite bathroom, small living room, and private northern courtyard. It has its own garage and street access.

The Second Flatlet, situated below the main house, is a 117 sqm unit with private access. It features two en-suite bedrooms, a large living room, dining room, kitchen, pantry, and service quarters, opening onto a spectacular garden bordering a lush green belt.

If there is a purpose to architecture beyond providing shelter, it is to work in spatial cohesion with nature. The 27 Shad Shoal residence achieves this perfectly. Understanding Richards Bays climatic and social environments, the architects used brick, concrete, and timber to create a representation of the locality on the plot. As you drive towards the house, it becomes an artwork within the green landscape of Meerensee. The welcoming atmosphere, strong geometry, and open entrance catch your attention immediately. Walking into the residence, a sense of togetherness and tranquility pulls you in, juxtaposing nature with the built environment.

This residence truly becomes a space embedded in the user''s memory, transforming daily life into a natural and harmonious experience.
