Residences with separate apartments for multi-generational living options or affording an additional income stream through rental, are always in high demand. Equally desirable is a corner lot, and on offer here is a two-storey residence comprising a 3-bed main residence upstairs with no less than two apartments on the ground floor, both 2-bed units. In all, there are 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, with most bedrooms en suite.
All three separate living areas form a huge living space, which can be used as single, multi-function residence, or main residence with rented apartments. Combined, the two lower floor apartments are 257 sqm in size and the upstairs residence 245 sqm, excluding the outside balcony spaces. In all, more than 530 sqm of space is provided for.
The entire premises is served by TWO 10kW solar systems, one serving the two apartments and the other serving the main house. An indoor pool is heated via solar from the roof. The property is further supported by three garages and three other areas for accommodating vehicles like cars, caravans, and boats.
Upstairs, the main residence offers superb sea views and two lounge areas, one with fireplace/indoor braai, open-plan kitchen/diner, and several bedrooms, one of which is a capacious master. A separate, central room could serve as study/workroom or another bedroom, while a large sunroom with direct sea views hosts the indoor pool. All bedrooms are en-suite, with a fourth bathroom serving as guest bathroom and shower room for the pool area and sandy beachgoers.
Below, the larger apartment of the two has a large central living area, sunroom-lounge with fireplace/braai, large kitchen with separate scullery, and two en-suite bedrooms, each which also has a very practical study/office nook.
The smaller of the two apartments has two bedrooms sharing one bathroom, a kitchen, and a sunroom.
Both apartments are currently fully tenanted and both apartments are linked with the upstairs via a central staircase, which can be closed off.
As a bonus, a sundeck on the roof offers a place to relax while enjoying the commanding 360-degree views of the sea and the mountains.
Accessible from both inside and outside, a walk-in workroom hosts the inverter and solar electrics.

As a popular zoom town, Kleinmond has all the amenities needed for comfortable modern living, whether you are actively working, considering slowing down, or investing in a holiday or buy-to-rent home. There are several doctor’s rooms, dentists, pharmacies, vets, filling stations, thrift stores, vehicle maintenance and repair workshops, several clinics, two primary schools, businesses catering for electronics, printing, clothing, crafts, furniture, building material and hardware, and plumbers and electricians, as well as several small shopping centres.

Kleinmond is just over an hour’s drive from the Cape Town airport, 45 minutes to Somerset West, and 30 km from Hermanus.
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 the 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.
