For those who wish to live in a magical kingdom next to the Indian ocean, this is for you. The Noetzie Castle near Knysna are up for auction this February. Take a look:
Move aside, Marie Antoinette! if you’ve ever dreamed of living in a castle, now’s your chance to live like a King or Queen! Pezula Castle on Noetzie beach near Knysna on the Garden Route will go on auction in February in the first High Street Auctions of 2018.
The private castle is also adjacent to the exclusive Pezula Private Estate.
According to High Street lead auctioneer and director, Joff van Reenen, even though the property is marketed as a singular ‘castle’, the prospective buyer would actually gain a total of three buildings.
Arrowline reports that the entire property is made up of three ‘castles’, covering a total of 1,000 square meters. There’s the Main castle, a Honeymoon castle as well as a Little castle which completes the building.
In 2015, the property was listed for sale at R56 million, but with the difficulties of finding a suitable buyer, the castle is to be auctioned later this year.
Van Reenen said that the castles last changed hands more than seven years ago for a staggering R35 million, and have in recent years again sporadically appeared on the market through traditional real estate brokerages.
“They were also marketed abroad in countries such as the UK, but as was the case locally, brokers were unable to source a suitable buyer.”
According to auctioneering.co.za, the castle grants owners direct access to the secluded Noetzie Beach. Other features include five “ultra-luxurious suites with en-suite bathrooms in three separate castles”. The castle is said to be “fully furnished and fitted” with a “heated rim-flow pool, huge terraces with panoramic beach views, a gymnasium, underfloor heating, wood burning fireplaces, a climate control wine cellar and a chef’s kitchen fire pit in the backyard”.
auctioneering.co.zaThe auction is set to take place on 21 February at Summer Place in Hyde Park, Johannesburg. Those who are interested can sign up on the High Street Auctions website.
