Umbono Living

Each residence has been conceived as a sophisticated retreat within nature — generous in scale, understated in character and designed around the effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle for which South Africa is renowned.

Offering approximately 240 m² of internal living space and a further 120 m² of outdoor living, the homes provide expansive spaces for entertaining, relaxing and simply taking in the surrounding landscape.

Investment opportunities begin from R4.8 million, inclusive of both the land and house package, creating an opportunity to own a beautifully considered residence within an extraordinary natural setting.

Beyond your residence lies something truly exceptional: exclusive access to approximately 800 hectares of wildlife reserve.

Immerse yourself in the landscape on game drives, explore the reserve and experience the privilege of living alongside an abundance of African wildlife.

The reserve is home to an extraordinary variety of species, including rhino, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, kudu, nyala, impala, wildebeest and warthog, together with numerous other antelope and indigenous species.

This is not simply a view of the bush.

It is a life within it.

Ownership at The Residences extends beyond the walls of your home.

Residents enjoy access to the estate’s game lodge, restaurant, bar and swimming pool, bringing together the privacy of a private residence with the atmosphere and amenities of an exclusive African lodge.

Meet friends for a drink after an afternoon in the reserve. Enjoy dinner without leaving the estate. Spend summer days beside the pool before returning to the quiet sanctuary of your own home.

Everything has been designed around a lifestyle that feels both effortless and exceptional.

The Residences at Umbono occupy a rare position between two of the Eastern Cape’s greatest treasures — the wilderness of the bush and the beauty of the coast.

Within minutes, exchange game trails for beaches, river mouths and relaxed coastal villages. Return home as the sun begins to fall behind the valley and wildlife emerges into the evening light.

It is a place for weekends that become longer stays.

For families to gather.

For mornings without schedules and evenings without noise.

For those who value space, privacy and a deeper connection with the natural world.
