A rare opportunity to secure a 521m² fully serviced stand in sought-after Karindal, Stellenbosch — just steps from Lanzerac Wine Estate. The property offers mountain views and a prime location near top schools, Stellenbosch University, restaurants, and trails.
Currently, there are still structures on the plot which are in use. Once a sales agreement is reached, the buyer and seller will come to an agreement as to the date on which the plot should be vacant. The cost of demolition will be carried by the seller. That agreement will form part of the sales contract. The buyer will receive a fully serviced (water, electricity and sewage) empty plot, walled on 3 sides with brick walls. Wifi is easily accessible, as the connection point is close to the property.
Although the title deed
currently includes standard building line restrictions, these can be relaxed under the new Municipal Zoning Scheme Regulations. A simple application, along with basic building plans, can allow for building line adjustments to the permissible zoning setbacks—2.5m from the rear and sides, 4.0m from the street, and even 0m for outbuildings with neighbour consent.
The seller already has approved building plans for their adjacent erf (a mirror image of the one on offer), based on these relaxed zoning parameters—demonstrating that the municipality is open to such concessions. There’s every reason to expect the same approval process would apply here.
The erf allows for a building footprint of approximately 260m² (50% coverage), and double-volume construction is possible should a buyer wishes to maximise the floor area.
