Set majestically against the St. James mountainside above the magnificent stretch of False Bay coastline, this exquisite home, designed by South African architect Tessa van Schaik, is something to behold. Built with the focus on nature, adventure and family life, using natural materials from the area and some patiently sourced from afar.

Floor-to-ceiling windows allow in the natural light and ocean views from every room magically bring the outdoors in, creating a seamless flow throughout the home. The open-plan kitchen, living and dining area are an entertainers dream, with solid timber floors, soft white sofas, wicker chairs and seashell chandeliers to compliment the space. A cosy bar with leather barstools, copper lampshades, an old oak counter and unique historical art pieces surely have a story to tell.

Enjoy leisurely swims in the crystal clear pool whilst taking in the views across the bay to the mountains beyond. It will be hard to leave this haven but there is plenty of entertainment on your doorstep. Danger Beach is just in front of the house, a lovely swimming beach with great waves to surf. On the mountain behind the property, you will find walking trails and waterfalls. The quaint village of Kalk Bay, just a 20-minute walk away, is home to some of the quirkiest shops, delis, bakeries, antique stores, book shops and restaurants on the Cape Peninsula. Kalk Bay Harbour has a fresh fish market to get your very own catch of the day.
