Property Details
Set on a larger-than-average stand of 700 sqm on the corner of two quiet streets at the foot of the mountain and a mere block from the nature reserve, this cosy cottage offers loads of potential.
Walled on all four sides and sporting a security system, three bedrooms, one bathroom, one garage, open-plan living, and gas-electric cooking with gas geyser, the surrounding yard is positively huge.
Plans have been drawn for an extension, which includes more bathroom space, a dressing room, a large braai/entertainment room with indoor pool and sauna, and reconfiguration of the outdoor space. These plans are available for review and add approximately 110 sqm to the approximately 140 sqm of the existing residence, or simply enjoy this home as it is. Alternatively, there is ample yard space to add a cottage for rental or to allow for multi-generational living arrangements.
Why this residence?
- Room to grow
- Serene setting on quiet streets with no through traffic.
- Direct access to the reserve

The availability of property in Kleinmond is finite. The town is situated in the heart of the Kleinmond Coastal and Mountain Reserve, itself part of the greater Kogelberg Nature Reserve. Bordered by estuaries and wetlands both east and west, a mountain range to the north and ocean to the south, the town’s borders are fixed, with no room for expansion. The result is that only existing open land can be developed, or existing structures upgraded.
