8 Bedroom House in Oubaai

An extraordinary coastal position where the sound of the sea becomes part of the home

R35,000,000 | 970 m² Residence | 1,200 m² Stand | 7 En-Suite Bedrooms Separate 8th Suite

Occupying what is arguably one of the finest front-row sea-facing positions in Oubaai Golf Estate, this substantial four-level residence is defined first and foremost by its relationship with the ocean.

The photographs tell only part of the story. From the moment you enter, the coastline is dramatically framed through soaring expanses of glass. Below, waves break against the rugged shoreline beyond, the Indian Ocean stretches uninterrupted towards the horizon. And throughout much of the home, you don''t simply see the sea you hear it.

Set privately within a cul-de-sac, the residence combines an exceptional coastal position with approximately 970 m² of accommodation, offering remarkable space for family life, entertaining and extended guests.

Arrival is generous and protected from the elements, with a double garage plus dedicated golf-cart garage connecting conveniently to the entrance level. An oversized front door opens into a substantial entrance hall, where the eye is immediately drawn southwards to the dramatic double-volume glazing, ocean and coastline beyond.

This entrance level incorporates two en-suite guest bedrooms, together with a spacious TV room and study, creating an ideal separate area for guests, family or work-from-home living.

Upstairs, the uppermost level is devoted predominantly to the family''s private accommodation. Here are three spacious en-suite bedrooms, all carpeted and fitted with built-in cupboards, complemented by a north-facing sunroom, two northern patios and additional office space.

The master suite takes full advantage of the extraordinary setting, with extra-high ceilings and beautiful sea views, a walk-in dressing room and generous open-plan bathroom incorporating a double vanity, bath, shower, toilet and bidet. The two additional bedroom suites on this level each have their own well-appointed bathrooms.

Descending one level from the entrance brings you into the principal entertaining heart of the home and once again, the ocean dominates.

A beautifully positioned bar and substantial wine cellar introduce this level, along with a guest cloakroom. The kitchen enjoys sea views of its own and is supported by a large pantry, Smeg oven and separate scullery.

The generous dining area, with its fireplace, opens towards that magnificent southern outlook. With the doors open, the sound of waves breaking below fills the room, creating an atmosphere that photographs simply cannot capture. An adjoining lounge with a second fireplace provides another inviting space for relaxed entertaining.

The lowest level changes the mood again, becoming an extensive leisure and entertainment zone designed for family and guests.

There is a dedicated gym with its own en-suite bathroom comprising shower, toilet and basin, as well as an additional cellar adjoining the gym. A large games and entertainment area provides space for a pool table and table tennis, together with a bar, further dining area, useful under-stair storage and an enclosed braai room.

Wide stacking doors connect this level directly with the garden, swimming pool and outdoor entertainment areas, maintaining an effortless relationship between indoors, the landscape and the ocean.

Two further en-suite bedrooms are positioned on this lower level, both enjoying direct garden access. Characterful Indonesian-style barn doors introduce warmth and texture to the bathrooms and echo the distinctive Asian-influenced pieces and detailing seen throughout the home.

In total, the main residence provides seven en-suite bedrooms three on the upper level, two on the entrance level and two on the garden level. A separate eighth bedroom suite, accessed externally, provides excellent accommodation for staff, an au pair, independent guests or extended family.

Outside, the home''s front-row position comes fully into its own.

The garden and entertainment terraces incorporate an infinity swimming pool, Jacuzzi and fire boma, with indigenous coastal vegetation and the magnificent Indian Ocean forming the natural backdrop. From various terraces and living areas, the architecture seems almost to fall away, leaving nothing between you and the coastline.

The extraordinary scale and personality of the residence are evident throughout: expansive glazing, multiple entertainment spaces, substantial wine storage, a gym, games areas, generous terraces and a home designed not around a single formal living room, but around layers of living spread across four levels.

Yet for all its size and facilities, its greatest luxury remains something much simpler:

The ocean.

The changing colour of the water. The rocky coastline immediately below. The uninterrupted horizon. And, again and again, the unmistakable sound of the waves breaking against the shore.

Oubaai''s position on South Africa''s celebrated Garden Route one of the jewels of the Western Cape adds another dimension to the offering. The estate combines secure coastal and golf-estate living with convenient access to George, its airport, beautiful beaches and the broader Garden Route lifestyle.

For a buyer seeking scale, privacy and extensive accommodation, there are many impressive homes. What is considerably harder to replicate is a true front-row position of this calibre, where the sea is not merely a distant view but an ever-present part of daily life.

Some homes can be recreated. This position cannot.
