Tugela River – fantastic river and sea views from this prime piece of land!

REDR-0920 – This property has fantastic river and sea views and together provide a very nice L-shaped piece of land.  Portion 1 is 4047m², and consists of vacant land only. This property is situated immediately adjacent to the Tugela River.

Portion 3 is also 4047m², and the improvements consist of a small cottage, and several outbuildings. There is a borehole and the pump has recently been renewed. Although the garden has been maintained on a daily basis by a full time gardener, the buildings have been standing empty for the last 3 years and have fallen into a state of disrepair which needs to be demolished and rebuilt. Portion 1 connects portion 3 to the Tugela river.

Ballito is situated roughly 40 kilometres north of Durban in Kwa-Zulu Natal.  It forms part of the KwaDukuza local Municipality, and iLembe District Municipality and is only 15 minutes away from King Shaka International Airport.  Dolphins are common on this stretch of the North Coast shoreline, hence the nickname Dolphin Coast.

The town was established in 1954 as a private township, by the Glen Anil Development Corporation/Investments which was headed up by Dr Edward (Eddie) Rubenstein (1903–1972).  The word “Ballito” translated from Spanish means “little ball”.  The town’s name was borrowed from a glossy advert for Ballito hosiery made by Ballito Hosiery Limited of St. Albans, England.  The area was originally portion of a sugar cane farm at Compensation Beach owned by Basil Townsend.

Today it is a thriving community of its own with ties to primary and high schools in and around Ballito, Umhlanga, Stanger and Tongaat.  Ballito has grown exponentially in recent time and has three shopping malls, Lifestyle centre, The Junction and The Ballito Bay Mall.  It is a holiday destination with hotels and self-catering accommodation, swimming (Willard) and surfing beaches (Boulder).  A promenade about 2.5 kilometres long along the beach front allows for walking and jogging.  The Gunston 500 surfing contest, renamed to the ASP PRIME Mr Price Pro, has shifted from Durban’s North Beach to Ballito where it is held annually.
