Rare Position. Prime Land. Your St Francis Story Starts Here.

I am so excited to list this amazing parcel of prime land!

996m² of prime vacant land in one of St Francis Bay’s most sought-after coastal positions — just moments from Granny’s Pool and Bruce’s.

If you know St Francis, you’ll know that position is everything. This stand puts you close to the beach, close to the surf and within easy reach of the Village, offering the relaxed coastal lifestyle that makes this part of St Francis so special.

For surfers and ocean lovers, the location is hard to beat. For those looking to create their own coastal home, opportunities like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Large, well-positioned vacant land this close to the beach is a rare commodity.

The original thatch home was destroyed in the 2017 fires, however, the existing foundations remain in place. This provides a valuable starting point for a future rebuild, subject to the necessary municipal approvals.

The property is already walled and secured, with two separate entrance gates and white galvanised, plastic-coated gates. Approximately 20,000 bricks remain on site, together with an existing French drain, water connection and electrical connection.

The location is exceptional. The opportunity is rare. Now it’s time to build what comes next.

St. Francis Bay and Cape St. Francis became internationally renowned in 1969 with the release of the legendary surf film The Endless Summer, which showcased the region’s perfect waves.

For golf enthusiasts, the region offers two prestigious golf courses, including The St. Francis Links, ranked among South Africa’s top 10, offering a world-class challenge amid breathtaking coastal scenery.

Beyond its natural attractions, St. Francis Bay offers a warm and vibrant community.
From canal-side dining at the Big-Time Taverna to local favourites like Chokka Block, 22 Eatery, The Quays Restaurant and The Brewery, the town is rich in culinary experiences. Quaint shops, art galleries, and friendly locals add to the village-like charm.

Port St. Francis, a gem within the bay, offers an exclusive lifestyle where residents enjoy private beaches, waterfront properties, and serene ocean views. Life here moves to the rhythm of the tide, with yachts bobbing in the marina and sunsets lighting up the harbour—a daily reminder of just how special this place is.

St Francis Bay is ideally located - just 90 minutes from Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) – gateway to the Garden Route and major airport access and 35 km from Jeffreys Bay – another iconic surf destination with a laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere, shopping, and entertainment.
