Perfect multi-generational living opportunity in Upper Constantia |
This well situated property in blue-chip Constantia boasts three separate dwellings, set amidst substantial mature gardens and grounds of 11,354 m², with views all the way to False Bay and the Hottentots Holland mountains.
The property takes the form of a sizeable 'private estate', conveniently located within the Constantia Wine Route. Positioned a few minutes drive from Constantia Village Shopping Centre, as well as numerous world class restaurants and leading private schools. Within a few minutes drive there are equestrian facilities, endless hiking routes, one of the largest Virgin Active gyms, cricket and tennis clubs and easy access to surfing and the famous beaches of both the Southern Peninsula, as well as the Atlantic Seaboard of Cape Town.
The main house, built in a Provencale style, comprises 4 bedrooms as well as a perfect library, study and other indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces. There is also a double garage and ample uncovered parking. It could be sympathetically modernised to bring it up to 21st century specifications, but as it is, this much loved family home is ready to move into.
The secondary house, more recently constructed and having its own entrance and driveway, features 3 bedrooms and corresponding bathrooms, a living room and a spacious kitchen/dining room. This could be a perfect spot for parents or guests who want to be close by - but it is sufficiently detached to allow total privacy from the main house.
The third dwelling takes the form of an elevated wooden cabin overlooking a magnificent Turkey Oak tree: Quercus Cerris - thought to be up to 200 years old and one of the largest of its kind in Cape Town, lending history and grandeur to the estate. The cabin features a bathroom, bedroom and open plan living room with kitchen. A perfect hideaway - or a unique teen pad.
There are additional outbuildings on the property, as well as a good size swimming pool, providing a refreshing focal point amid the lush greenery and extensive gardens.
There is a strong working borehole producing just under 3000L per hour, with water treatment plant, as well as a full solar array, which allows the house to be largely 'off grid' for most of the year.
The potential for improvement, possible development and a variety of uses and configurations, especially given the land size, is abundantly clear. This property needs to be seen in order to understand its true potential.
