Owner's Comments
This rustic cottage retreat ,“Stonetops Cottage’”, is situated on the unique protected British Colony of Saint Helena Island, Atlantic Ocean, offshore of South Africa.
No visa’s required for EU, South African and many other countries!
This property was the residence of a former governor to the island who recently built it to high specifications, 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.
Ideal to run as a BnB or a home to escape the hustle and bustle of the world.
St Helena is serviced with an airport, hosting direct weekly flights from South Africa, and is also a stop over for yachts and ships passing through.
The island noticeably has the lowest crime rate in the world, which makes this an attractive destination, especially those seeking safety and peace, including those who work from home/ in retirement.
Due to the remoteness, the waters are clean, warm, and usually have excellent visibility.
Of course, this makes it a diving & fisherman’s paradise, and seafood is impressively top notch and fresh.
Very peaceful and quiet, making it the perfect lock up 'n go, or holiday home.
A website and premium domain name is included in the sale.
