FOREST HIDEAWAY NEAR AN ENDLESS BEACH

SOLE MANDATE

Tucked into the forested valley of Dolphin Waves Eco Estate, this untouched corner stand offers 500 square metres of creative potential, framed by leafy trees and the gentle hush of nature. While the entire estate is home to 62 plots, this side of the private access road boasts a well-considered layout of only 11, generously spaced for a truly secluded feel—with water, electricity, and a fire point already in place. Architectural guidelines help preserve the raw beauty of the estate, which remains in its early stages of development. It’s primed for someone with the vision to create a nature-integrated haven—whether that’s a quaint cottage for weekend escapes, a long-term eco home, or a tranquil rental guests return to again and again.

From your doorstep, the estate roads weave out of the forest and into flowering fynbos rich with fragrance and birdsong. The sound of waves grows steadily louder until you crest the final rise and the view opens: the shimmering sea, with Keurboomstrand beach stretching toward the misty mountains. At its far end sits one of Plett’s most beloved restaurants—Enrico’s—where you can dine to the rhythm of the tides. Robberg Peninsula sweeps across the bay, and after a sun-soaked beach day, the lights of Plett begin to twinkle—a perfect backdrop for a starlit picnic. Though it feels like a world apart, the centre of Plettenberg Bay is just a 10-minute drive—far enough for stillness, close enough for convenience.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it—your blank canvas to build the dream nature retreat you’ve always imagined.
