With unbeatable views of Table Mountain from almost every room of this wondrous mansion, a viewing of this luxurious home will be all that’s needed for the next owner to want it, immediately.
The house is located on one of the most prestigious roads in Bishopscourt, a sought-after residential area in the Western Cape province. You may spot a celeb or two around the local amenities..
Leaving this fabulous property, however, will be tricky, as it is complete with all the spaces and facilities you need for a truly comfortable life. It is also impressive, right from the koi pond nestled under the sweeping staircase in the grand entrance hall.
Beyond the entrance, the house expands into a vast open-plan lounge and dining areas, complete with a large fireplace for cosy winter evenings and direct access to the patio and pool for roasting summer afternoons.
Also on this floor is a modern, sleek kitchen which is, frankly, enormous. The prep and cooking area opens onto a less formal dining area wrapped around with glass for Table Mountain backdrops to each meal. Cooks will welcome a pantry and a separate utility space to keep the clutter and convenience-machines out of sight.
And the rooms keep coming…there are smaller spaces including a study and a TV room on the ground floor level and – as you’ll start to expect – everything is dominated by windows and views of the shimmering pool and the mountain beyond.
Moving upstairs, the main property contains five large bedrooms, each with an en-suite and dressing area, to give the whole household the ‘master suite’ experience.
There is also a lower ground level which serves, if needed, as a separate flatlet with a private entrance. Here can be found an open-plan living area with two bedrooms and a private double garage, which is ideal for visitors who prefer their own space.
The outside space of this property is as impressive and charming as its interiors. The swimming pool is sublime in both positioning and size, but the multi-level garden also holds treasures: a vegetable garden, bountiful fruit trees, and vibrant flora. The landscape designer has turned the whole area into a serene natural oasis, with multiples terraces and pathways leading to different spaces for dining, chatting or contemplation.
To ensure a comfortable existence whatever the weather, there is air-con in the TV room and bedrooms, with underfloor heating in all passages and the master bedroom. Security is top notch too, with a robust alarm system for both house and perimeter, CCTV, and secure parking for six cars.
The location of the property is super. Bishopscourt is close to other lovely areas, such as Constantia, Claremont, Newlands, Kenilworth, and Wynberg Upper ‘Chelsea Village’, and within easy reach of key routes, such as the M3/Edinburgh Drive. Travel time to Cape Town International Airport is just 19 minutes.
Schooling options abound for those with youngsters in tow. Within easy reach of the house are schools with good reputations, including The Grove Primary School, Bishops Preparatory & Pre-Preparatory School and Western Province Preparatory School for the little people in your life. The South African College High School and International School of Cape Town would provide a high standard of education for the older ones.
The area has plenty of high-end shopping options as well as a diverse range of quality eateries. Local attractions include Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, The Vineyard Hotel, Boschenheuvel Arboretum, and the tranquil Upper Liesbeek River Garden.
