LUXURY PERCH IN CAPE

This mansion in Hout Bay takes exclusivity to a new level

THIS architect-designed house, perched high on a hill above iconic Chapman’s Peak Drive in Hout Bay, Cape Town, delivers the ultimate in exclusivity and chic Cape lifestyle.

Situated on one of the most sought-after and secure private estates on the Atlantic seaboard, this home – Hanging Meadows – has all it takes to accommodate a family and staff, either as a luxury permanent residence, or as a sumptuous holiday house.

All floors are served by an elevator, with access to a garage and self-contained apartment at the top of the house. There is also a marble staircase and a gallery.

Long, capacious terraces and balconies wrap around the front of the house, from where amazing views of Hout Bay beach to Mariner’s Wharf may be enjoyed.

There are also gorgeous views towards Chapman’s Peak to the left and the beautiful Hout Bay valley to the right.

The views have to be enjoyed first-hand to savour the full experience – it’s a privilege to have a natural canvas of this magnitude on one’s doorstep.

Magical vistas open via picture windows in bedrooms, bathrooms, pools (there are two) and generous terraces. You will want to share these perfectly framed living pictures with family and friends.

To say the house lends itself to entertaining is something of an understatement.

There are five spacious en-suite bedrooms and several entertaining rooms, and the outside areas are mostly well-protected from wind.

The pools include one warm social pool and a cooler lap pool.

Among other attractive features are an internal speaker system and indoor braai and bar area.

The house adjoins protected and undeveloped land on one side – a valuable feature for both enjoyment and security – while it has its own excellent internal security.

The property is flanked by neighbours with top security inside and out, giving extra peace of mind.

Shops, restaurants and the beach are a few minutes’ drive away.

It is a 20-minute drive to Camps Bay, 25 minutes to the southern suburbs and about 30-35 minutes to the CBD, making this one of the most easily commutable spots on the Atlantic seaboard.

Viewings of the property are by arrangement.
