There are some homes in Somerset West that simply possess an undeniable presence – and this is one of them.
Carefully preserved during the subdivision process, this exceptional residence has been beautifully restored and thoughtfully enhanced to create a truly remarkable home on the edge of the Helderberg Nature Reserve. Perfectly positioned to embrace its natural surroundings, it offers a rare blend of grandeur, privacy and contemporary luxury.
Approached via a sweeping driveway, the home is majestically set at the end of the cul-de-sac, comfortably nestled among newly built neighbouring properties while maintaining a sense of exclusivity. Triple glass-fronted garages set the tone for what lies beyond.
The interior is nothing short of impressive. Vast open-plan living spaces flow effortlessly, anchored by a state-of-the-art kitchen with exceptional finishes, complemented by a separate scullery and dedicated laundry area. An informal breakfast nook provides an intimate counterpoint to the expansive lounge and dining area, while a second, grand lounge – reminiscent of a ballroom – boasts exquisite vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light.
Multiple wood-burning and gas fireplaces throughout the home create warmth and atmosphere, while engineered wooden flooring adds timeless elegance. Four generously proportioned ensuite bedrooms offer luxurious accommodation, each finished to an exceptional standard. A guest cloakroom is conveniently located off the entrance hall, and a climate-controlled wine cellar with ample storage will delight connoisseurs.
Upstairs, a rooftop terrace with built-in barbeque provides the perfect vantage point to soak in the breathtaking views. Almost every room in the home enjoys outlooks framed by expansive glass windows, carefully orientated to maximise the exceptional position and natural beauty of the surrounds.
Outdoor living is equally impressive, with landscaped gardens, a huge heated swimming pool and a stylish pool house ideal for summer entertaining. Practical luxury is assured with a solar and inverter electrical backup system, borehole and water storage, ensuring comfort and sustainability year-round.
This is a home that offers scale, sophistication and an extraordinary setting – a truly special property in the heart of Somerset West.
