a rare architectural sanctuary in one of cape town’s most prestigious enclaves
this exceptional residence, designed by the acclaimed marvin farr architects - offers a private world of bohemian luxury, tranquillity, and scale.
from the moment one passes through the secure guardhouse, the property unfolds as a sensory journey. automated gates open to reveal a lush, balinese-inspired jungle setting, complete with water features and layered greenery, immediately transporting you far beyond the ordinary.
designed for effortless entertaining and multi-purpose living, the home is equally suited as a grand family residence or a world-class boutique hotel or passion project.
the residence
the entry level exudes relaxed sophistication, where no detail has been overlooked. this floor hosts the first of nine en-suite bedrooms, each uniquely styled. bedroom one enjoys spectacular north-facing views and is complemented by a guest cloakroom and generous storage. the entire home is fully air-conditioned and centrally heated for year-round comfort.
ascending to the next level, the master suite occupies a private retreat of its own. it features expansive living space, bespoke walk-in wardrobes, and a luxurious bathroom with double vanity, victorian freestanding bath, and steam shower. a private study and lounge open onto a balcony with breathtaking vistas.
bedrooms three and four are equally impressive—one offering both bath and shower, the other enjoying ocean views, an en-suite shower, and a private balcony overlooking the sea.
living & entertaining
a striking balinese wood-finished entrance hall leads into generous formal and informal open-plan living areas, complemented by a separate television lounge. adjacent to the formal lounge is a bespoke wine cellar, widely regarded as one of the finest private collections in the country.
the dining room flows seamlessly into the well-appointed kitchen, fitted with a gas stove and separate scullery. from here, doors open onto the first of several outdoor entertainment areas—ideal for hosting on any scale.
just off the kitchen lies the fifth en-suite bedroom, featuring a skylit bathroom that allows one to shower immersed in nature. this suite opens onto an ocean-facing terrace.
additional accommodation & amenities
a fully self-contained two-bedroom staff cottage with bathroom and kitchenette is positioned nearby, with a separate laundry room discreetly located behind it.
a short stroll leads to the pool level, where bedroom six opens directly onto the swimming pool. this level also includes a playroom or poolside storeroom, a fully equipped gym and massage room with sauna and steam room, and an outdoor bar entertainment area. bedroom seven, en-suite with shower, is located just beyond.
descending further through the landscaped grounds, one arrives at the private tennis court—a true rarity and the only private court in fresnaye outside of the fresnaye tennis club.
at the lower garden level are bedrooms eight and nine, both en-suite with double vanities and showers. these suites open onto a beautifully irrigated garden sustained by a borehole system.
