6 Bedroom House in Constantia

Wake up in the clouds, with the whole of Constantia at your feet.

High on the mountainside, this is a true English Tudor-style home with real presence and real privacy. From here your gaze sweeps across the green Constantia Valley, past the coastline and all the way to Muizenberg and Silvermine. Its the kind of view you never get tired of.

The grounds are over 4,066 m2 of established, low-maintenance garden: mature trees, meandering pathways and a forest-like calm, all just minutes from the conveniences of the city. Its a country retreat that doesnt ask you to give up urban life.

Inside the 495 m2 home, the character is the real thing: solid wood beams, leaded glass windows and wooden floors. A curved wooden staircase winds up from the ground floor, and the generous reception room is warmed by a fireplace, whether youre hosting a formal dinner or curling up on a winter evening. Although built in this style, the home is not Heritage protected.

The wood-finished kitchen has matching timber countertops, an integrated fridge and freezer and dedicated pantry cupboards. A scullery and laundry make everyday life easy.

The details:

6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, plus staff accommodation

A self-contained flatlet above the double garage, ideal for guests, extended family or a work-from-home studio

Ample open parking and a shared driveway for added security

Rare water rights to a mountain spring, supplying both the home and the garden

Please note: A subdivision application is in progress and will be finalised at or before transfer, so offers will be subject to it. This will result in a standalone erf of approximately 4,066 m2. Because the home has been extended over time, it does not retain strict heritage restrictions, so future renovations follow standard municipal processes.

This is more than a house. Its a property with a story, and it is ready for its next chapter. Come and write yours.
