Welcome to your mountain oasis. Nestled 107 metres above sea level, this stunning 3- bedroom, 2-bathroom home (built in 2016) offers a serene escape with breathtaking panoramic views of the Helderberg and Hottentot Holland Mountain range, Gordon's Bay, Somerset West, False Bay, and even a glimpse of Cape Town's iconic Table Mountain in the distance.
This thoughtfully designed and considered 220 sqm home (including the wide garage and stairwell) includes an ensuite bathroom and the 3rd bedroom can be a dedicated study. The interior footprint is 156 sqm. The home faces North, which means it is warm in winter and cool in summer.

Additionally, 3000 litres of rainwater tanks and a modest vegetable and herb garden add to the 'off-grid' lifestyle.
Outdoor bliss awaits with al-fresco dining on the open patio, complete with a motorised retractable awning, overlooking the Helderberg mountain range and mesmerising sunsets over False Bay.
The backyard, covered with shade cloth, provides a comfortable area for outdoor relaxation and activities in addition to being a practical place to hang linen.
Peace of mind and tranquillity are paramount, with the property and its indigenous garden fully fenced and alarmed (alarm with armed response and exterior beams). The unique high-walled design ensures security without compromising the expansive views.
