Property Details
Exclusive Sole Mandate
An exceptional heritage offering in pristine condition.
Striking in its monochrome elegance, this immaculately preserved 1920s Cape Dutch residence pays homage to its storied past while offering all the luxuries of contemporary living.
Set in the heart of the charming village of Napier, this home is an ode to craftsmanship and refined country living -- a rare opportunity to acquire a heritage property of such scale and calibre.
At first glance, one is welcomed by two stately Cape Dutch gables flanking a stained-glass entrance, framed by a wide verandah and lush, well-established gardens alive with indigenous flora. Flamboyant wrought iron gates open onto a gravelled path, leading past romantic water features that echo softly across the grounds. Double-glazed windows, a rare and thoughtful feature, ensure absolute serenity throughout the home.
Stepping inside, the interiors are both generous and graceful. On the left, you are welcomed into the formal lounge with high ceilings and original detailing with fireplace, wooden blinds and lush curtains with double glazing throughout. Opposite is the large central formal dining room --an exquisite setting for entertaining. An adjacent home office and private lounge offers a quiet retreat or professional space, with a separate front entrance.
The bespoke kitchen is a symphony of form and function, complete with fitted fridge, gas hob and oven, and high-end finishes, all designed with a cook's precision in mind. The informal dining area is warmed by a wood-burning fireplace in winter, while in summer, expansive glass sliding doors welcome the gentle breeze and tranquil sounds of water features just outside. Alongside the kitchen is the scullery & laundry.
The master suite is a sanctuary unto itself --grand in proportion, with a luxurious dressing room and full en-suite bathroom, as well as direct garden access through glass doors. A second generous en-suite bedroom is also situated on the ground floor, offering guests or family members equal comfort and privacy. The second double bedroom is also en-suite with garden access.
Upstairs, the dormer windows capture expansive views of Napier's rolling hills, flooding the large third bedroom, bathroom and living space with natural light. From here, direct access to the garden -- complete with automated irrigation -- creates a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
A charming private garden suite with en-suite bathroom offers further accommodation, ideal for guests or as an exclusive letting option. This suite opens onto a sunny, secluded garden path that leads to a thoughtfully designed fire pit --perfect for relaxed evenings under the stars.
Impeccably maintained and endlessly versatile, this remarkable home lends itself to luxurious family living, a guesthouse enterprise, or a sophisticated country retreat. Whether you are drawn to its heritage credentials, architectural beauty, or modern comforts, this residence stands as one of Napier's finest.
There is a subdivision in process to subdivide this property from the Barn which is situated on High Str. The Barn is on the market and can be purchased together with the main house.
Location & Lifestyle
Napier, with its rich history and strong community spirit, is a gem within the Overberg region. Ideally situated en-route to Cape Agulhas, and close to the coastal splendour of Arniston and Struisbaai, as well as renowned wine estates, this tranquil village offers an idyllic blend of country calm and coastal proximity --all within two hours of Cape Town.
This is not simply a home; it is a legacy property, awaiting a discerning custodian.
