Set on more than 2,400 sqm of landscaped gardens, this recently renovated single-level residence in sought-after Helena Heights offers a rare combination of luxury, privacy and central convenience. Located only 30 minutes from Cape Town International Airport and minutes from world-class wine estates, golf courses and pristine beaches, it is perfectly positioned for both full-time living and a holiday retreat.

Main Residence

With 716 sqm under roof, the home’s design flows around a solar-heated pool and generous entertainment areas. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by soaring ceilings with exposed wooden beams, the gentle warmth of a wood burning fireplace, and light filling the room through large sliding doors. The open-plan lounge and sleek, modern kitchen feature a striking black accent palette. A scullery and separate laundry room keep the workspaces discreet.

Three spacious en suite bedrooms all open directly onto the pool terrace through large sliding doors. Between them, a comfortable pajama lounge creates a private family living area.

The master suite is a private retreat with a generous dressing area, a lounge space, a luxurious full bathroom and provision for a fireplace, offering both scale and a warm, intimate feel. Large and airy, it remains cozy and inviting, with sliding doors opening onto the pool terrace for seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Additional rooms include a guest toilet, a sewing or hobby room, and a large office with its own lounge and patio near the entrance, ideal as a work-from-home space or an additional bedroom suite.

Every corner of this home has been lovingly renovated, expanded, and styled with a designer’s eye. Rich colour palettes, modern finishes, and thoughtful architecture create a mood that’s both sophisticated and welcoming.

Guest Apartment

Across the pool, a two-bedroom flatlet with its own lounge, kitchen and double garage offers total independence for extended family, visitors or short-term rental income. It includes an indoor braai and a private entrance, ensuring separation from the main residence when needed.

Outdoor Living

Enjoy a large outdoor braai area, multiple patios, and lush greenery that shields the property from view, creating a serene, resort-like atmosphere. Evening lighting around the pool transforms the garden into an entertainer’s paradise.

Security and Potential

The property is secured with electric fencing, perimeter beams, burglar bars and a remote-controlled gate. A full inverter system ensures uninterrupted living during potential power outages. There is also the option to add a second floor, which would provide panoramic views of False Bay and the surrounding mountains.

Location

Helena Heights offers quick access to the N2 towards Cape Town, the airport and the Whale Coast, as well as the R44 towards Stellenbosch. Excellent schools, golf courses, shopping centres and wine farms are all close by.

This is a rare opportunity to own a modern, private residence in one of Somerset West’s most prestigious neighbourhood, ideal as a luxury family home, a multi-generational property or a secure holiday retreat. Get in touch with our agents to arrange an exclusive, private showing.
