About this property

Positioned in the sought-after suburb of Newlands East, Durban, this substantial double-storey family home — named 'Gatsheni' — delivers generous living space, modern off-grid readiness, and excellent income potential on a single title.

The ground and upper levels are accessed via a remote-controlled double garage with decorative timber-finish sectional doors set into an exposed face-brick façade. A sliding steel security gate and perimeter boundary wall provide an additional layer of privacy and security. Upper-level balconies with stainless-steel balustrades overlook the street, while a satellite dish and two air-conditioning units are visible on the exterior.

Inside, a spacious lounge is furnished with a large leather corner suite, glass-top coffee table, and crystal pendant chandelier. Air conditioning, crown moulding, and an archway leading to the rest of the home create an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere. An adjoining formal dining room continues the refined theme with a pendant chandelier, full-height arched doorways, exposed stone feature wall detail, tile flooring, and direct access to an outdoor courtyard area.

All four bedrooms are generously sized with built-in cupboards. The home includes three bathrooms — one serving the outside unit, which has its own shower and bathroom, making it ideal for extended family, a domestic worker, or as a separate rental stream.

Practical amenities include a JoJo tank for water storage, an inverter system, and solar panels — ensuring the home is fully load-shedding and water-disruption ready. Ceiling fans (three in total) complement the two air-conditioning units.

Conveniently located within easy reach of Pedros and Munch Café (under 250 m), an Engen fuel and convenience centre (approximately 240 m), and multiple early-childhood facilities including Khulanathi Crèche and Monica's Kidz Academy within roughly 1 km. Quarry Heights Primary School and Barracuda Primary School are both within approximately 1.1 km, making this an excellent choice for young families.
