Completed just in time for the summer of all summers in 1969, this property has enjoyed the sight of every sunrise, every whale spout, every crashing wave onto the Hobie shores for just over 5 decades. Built for a tugboat captain working in the Bay at the time, many a storied afternoon and evening were surely spent within these walls, regaling all-comers with tales of sea-salted and landlubberly adventures alike.
And why did Captain Anonymous choose this particular perch? Well, due to it's perfect positioning of course! No self-respecting sea captain would tolerate more than a handful of minutes ambling downward to the beach, or upward to Mellvilles merchant on Main, taking care to preserve precious energy for potentially life-threatening forays into the bold blue waters. And so it remains, 53 years later, that this positioning still affords its owners mild flip-flopping commutes between shell-sprinkled beaches below, and sun-crinkled shopfronts and restaurants above.
With ample bedrooms, bathrooms, lounges, garden nooks and vantage points, this is a home for the multitude, the throng of family feasts and friendly get-togethers, the planned holidays en-masse and the last-minute layovers. A fireplace for the chillier, mid-winter nights, and a sprawling patio for those all too frequent balmy Plett nights, where the wind lays to rest and the ocean mirrors the stars.
If you dream of owning a true-to-its-core, quintessential Plett property, and are ecstatic with the opportunity to re-imagine and re-purpose a wonderfully positioned older home, you are sure to reap the rewards, both emotional and financial, until the 21st century's version of the summer of '69.
