Property description
Nestled against the majestic slopes of the Hottentots Holland Mountains in Gordon’s Bay, South Africa, this one-of-a-kind residence blends medieval-inspired architecture with serene, natural beauty. Privately positioned on a lush, one-hectare estate, this remarkable home offers a peaceful retreat away from the bustle of everyday life.
Locally known as the iconic “Celtic Castle,” the property enjoys a commanding mountainside location that captures breathtaking, uninterrupted views across the False Bay coastline. The expansive main residence spans 748 square meters and welcomes you with a grand entrance hall, which leads into a sophisticated formal living room.
A chef’s dream, the U-shaped kitchen comes complete with marble countertops and generous cabinetry, complemented by a scullery large enough to accommodate a dishwasher, washing machine, and tumble dryer. Adjacent to the dining area is a charming private courtyard—perfect for open-air dining and hosting under the stars.
The entertainment wing of the home includes a cozy recreation room featuring a built-in bar and a wood-burning fireplace, ideal for winter evenings. From here, glass doors open to a large wooden deck and a sparkling pool, with sweeping views of the Helderberg region as your backdrop. On the ground level, you’ll also find a flexible-use children’s playroom—easily converted into a home office—as well as a guest cloakroom with a basin and toilet.
A spiral staircase leads to two upper floors housing six spacious bedrooms. Four of these enjoy their own en-suite bathrooms, while two share a well-appointed full bathroom. For guests or staff, a separate two-bedroom cottage—arranged over two levels—offers an open-plan kitchen and living area on the lower floor, ensuring comfort and independence.
Additional features include a spacious double automated garage and generous guest parking that can accommodate up to six vehicles. The property is also equipped with a range of sustainable, off-grid systems. These include a 10.8kW solar power setup consisting of 24 x 450W panels, paired with a Deye 3-phase 10kW inverter unit for enhanced energy efficiency. Water sustainability is ensured through a borehole system with reverse osmosis filtration, supported by 20,000 liters of water storage—15,000 liters dedicated to irrigation and 5,000 liters for household use.
