Peaceful oasis in Higgovale, just above Cape Town

On the slopes of Table Mountain, at the highest edge of Cape Town City Bowl, the house is nestled in a secluded green valley of Higgovale, stylish, wind protected and quiet residential neighborhood.
Set on 1000 sqm, blending with nature, the 3 levels overlook the city with spectacular panoramic views of Table Mountain, Devil’s peak, and the Hottentot-Holland Mountains in the distance.
Being minutes away from Kloof street, the city centre,waterfront and Cape Town most beautiful beaches, this sophisticated house with a zen-like feel all around is an oasis of calm, a bird paradise with multiple easy living areas and outdoor spaces to hang out (or work!) while being close enough to enjoy the vibe of Cape Town.

From every spot of the house, there is an eternal flow of natural light.
Starting in early morning watching the sunrise over the city and mountains till the end of the day when the moon rises, and the city lights come to life.

From the street entrance (in a quiet cul-de -sac) the first staircase will lead you to the spacious open living space of the main house (fully equipped kitchen, 8 seaters island, media lounge, pool table, cosy lounge). This space opens to various outside areas: a terrace with a dining table and a covered outside lounge, a sun protected patio with another table, a braai, and an herb garden.
From this level, a second staircase will lead you to 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a common work&play space with desks and lounge and a shared balcony.

The gem of the property rests on the top level that you access from the open living space through outside garden paths and wooden stairs.
This walk will lead you to the heated swimming pool (10x4) with its separate 90 sqm cottage (bedroom, bathroom, lounge, and kitchen) and its wooden deck with breathtaking views of Table Mountain, Devil’s peak, and the magical tablecloth.
