Found just over an hour from Cape Town this thoughtfully designed new build lies on a farm a mere stone’s throw from Churchhaven, in Schrywershoek, in the West Coast National Park. Nestled into the rich fynbos, a short meander from the startling turquoise lagoon, it is one of just six dwellings that offer a unique existence in an area that is deemed one of the most beautiful places on earth and is even dog friendly!

Rise early and head to your private patio, coffee in hand, to get ahead on workday demands. After a late breakfast wander to the lagoon to wade in the warm blue, or maybe go paddle boarding. As the sun rises overhead, settle in the shade and complete the day’s tasks before clocking off. Prepare a quick salad, pour a crisp Chenin and take some time to simply be, watching the sunlight dance and sparkle on the lagoon.

A Rare Jewel! Settled on Clifton 3rd beach, tiered into the cliffs and tucked away with resplendent ambiguity – like a rare jewel, discreetly resting in the sand – Clifton Sands reveals itself as a white haven of solace and distinction. Set on multi-levels of living, dining, reclining and entertaining spaces, this hideaway pacifies and invigorates simultaneously with its neutral tones, refined lines and consciously considered layers of comfort. It flows open-plan, over spacious decks with sun loungers, dining tables and low, lazy seating areas shaded by the milkwood and monkey puzzle trees, a plunge pool and braai area, an outdoor shower and a rope ladder leading you down into the sand.

Marvellous Sea Views
As you may expect from a home designed principally from glass there is little screening on the inside too. The second level is where all the living happens and is spaciously sprawling and totally open plan. Naturally, this extends onto a large wooden deck with epic views, which, with its barbeque and sunken fire pit, encourages entertaining to take place outdoors for most of the year.

Simply Ideal
Elegant living of yesteryear has been transposed into modern 21st century ‘lock up and go’ lifestyle in a rare and stylish find. It’s hidden in a quiet cul-de-sac in Three Anchor Bay, tucked under shady trees and clad in cool ivy. Named Villa Vicky, which alludes to the home’s Victorian heritage, the nostalgic sash windows, marble fireplace and intricate pressed ceilings remain as testimony. But when you step inside you’ll simply be blown away by the sensitively crafted transformation from classic to contemporary, showcasing the very best of both worlds.

A sophisticated pied-à-terre – if you will – this hideaway induces an element of all-year-round holiday living. Where your morning brew on the terrace – barefoot and fancy free, with Ella Fitzgerald’s husky tones in the background, greeting the gulls as they glide with the golden rays – will be the perfect start to a new and exciting day, no matter what’s on the agenda.

At De Hoek you have an all-day, every-day pass to 360 degree natural theatre. It’s an ever changing display of dancing light and dramatic big skies over a landscape that is thoroughly and beautifully South African. Choose a spot on the spacious front verandah, edged by a cool lap pool, and watch the sun rise and shine on the Langeberg mountains. From the back stoep, gaze across the verdant garden with endless Karoo space as the backdrop, and exhale and forget the harried world. Bushwacker walks and rugged mountain biking options surround you, or curl up with a good book and nap whenever the mood grabs. De Hoek is a world apart, a place of grace, freedom and sanctuary. It’s where you can disconnect to reconnect, for a weekend, a week or forever.

Just Magic!
As you drive through the front gate, The Manor House stands stoically before you in all its gracious splendor. Drive a little further and you pass exquisitely restored historic buildings in The Dairy Room and The Quarters, before arriving at The Manor House. Then, if you continue just a little more along the circular driveway, you’ll find the majestic Blue Barn for bespoke weddings and special celebrations of all kinds. There’s still enchanting Edge House too, just behind The Manor House and beyond the beautiful, walled vegetable garden. For anything else you may desire, Stellenbosch is close by.

And, about the views. Well, they’re frankly postcard perfect. It’s hard to grasp until you see them. You’re surrounded by rolling gardens, all irrigated from borehole water on the farm. But when you look up, just a little, Table Mountain casts her image in the long reflection pool and stands tall in person in the background. In the middle distance are flourishing, irrigated vineyards, over 20 hectares of them. The farm is really a space with three distinct personalities. Its 200 hectares includes the working farm of vineyards and cereal crops, the majestic and historic boutique guest house, and a fabulously popular wine label – highly rated by Platter’s since 2006.

Surrounded by Nature!
River House is aptly named and built on the banks of the winding Gamka River in the Gamka Private Eco Reserve. The house rests at the base of a rugged spekboom-covered hill and appears to float on a rock ledge. It’s magnificently created with views to optimise the dramatically beautiful surroundings. You are right on the water’s edge, and look out over lawns to the river and the Swartberg mountains beyond that provide ever-changing natural theatre. Bathed in light, the interior is open plan and unfettered with a fireplace and feature walls in raw brick. Outside, rugged rock accent walls reflect the natural surroundings and add detail to the sweeping deck and outdoor shower. A fishpond and succulent gardens complete the picture.

Your own slice of
Paradise
If you have a pioneering spirit, a sense of adventure and a passion for wide open spaces, there is a special piece of Africa you could call your own in Mozambique. What makes The Sanctuary on the San Sebastian peninsula truly unique is its visionary ethos: sustainable conservation in conjunction with community development funded through authentic, low-density eco-tourism. It’s a win-win-win formula.

The blissful West Coast
It started with a love affair with Greece and a passion for unusual, soulful places. Groot Paternoster is such a place, and Artemon Cottage was built to remember cosy Greek island cottages. Built of stone and thatch on the dunes, with views down the long beach to Paternoster five kilometres away, Artemon Cottage is a timeless and evocative beach bolthole.

Full ocean
Views
At Romansbaai you are almost surrounded by ocean, but for the backdrop of mountains. This beach house for sale in South Africa, located near Gansbaai and on a peninsula, Romansbaai is a special place overlooking a calm, shallow bay with lapping waves. The warm, turquoise waters invite swimming virtually year round, and the private white-sand beach beckons walkers and nature lovers to explore the coastline punctuated with twinkling rock pools. Dolphins surf and frolic in the waves and, in season, whales swim in the deeper waters. It’s idyllic, an undiscovered gem of the Overberg, where country living meets seaside serenity – swathed in frilly fynbos. R O M A N S B A A I H O M E S T E A D , DA N G E R P O I N T, OV E R B E R G

Allure of the Cosmopolis
The tiny locality of Three Anchor Bay disperses itself down leafy lanes and across cobbled courtyards, leading to the calming welcome of Onse Rust’s moss green door. Set on two levels of refined urban living, this hideaway does what the name implores you to do – take rest – whilst simultaneously tickling your fancy with relentless inspiration. A sympathetic restoration of 120 years of architectural history has been lovingly retained and brought back to life. With – dare we say it – dignity. No obvious signs of a face-lift here or a nip ’n tuck there, this old lady is entirely reminiscent of her early days.

Evocative old Africa Completed in 2013, Otto House is completely off the grid (but with a backup grid power option) and runs on solar power and borehole water. It was created using 27 layers of local sand, compacted to create thick rammed earth walls. All through the day the house gently changes colour from soft pink to warm muted yellow as light plays with the sand walls – they’re thoroughly alive and ever-changing.
