  • Just released to market, this quaint home is situated on the beautiful British Colony of Saint Helena Island, which is serviced with a modern airport, hosting direct weekly flights from South Africa, and is also a stopover for yachts and ships passing through, the colourful capital of the island being Jamestown.
  • The island is a protected heritage site offering great fishing, diving, seafood and yes, boasts the lowest crime rate in the world.
  • Imagine sleeping with your doors open, and letting your children play on the streets at all times of the day or night
  • Go for scenic walks and explore the beautiful settings of mountains, sea and wooded vistas in tranquil safety.
  • No visas required for SA residents.
  • Tour the Boer Cemetery and Napoleon’s House, go swimming with whale sharks in pristine water or visit the oldest living creature on earth, a tortoise named Jonathan.
  • Affordable for South Africans looking at safer offshore opportunities and who wish to protect their investments for the long term.
  • This property was the residence of a former governor to the island and has beautiful views as it sits on top of a large hill overlooking the sea and cliffs in the distance
  • Fully furnished, with an adjacent impressive satellite dish for international networking, and also features water, electricity and internet connections making this a ready to go ‘work from home’ environment, 
  • Very peaceful and quiet, making it the perfect lock up ‘n go, retirement homestead, or rustic holiday home which can also be run as a BnB for those seeking a more relaxed stress- free lifestyle.
