Description
Engel & Vlkers presents a remarkable Constantia residence where architectural distinction, extraordinary scale and one of Cape Towns most coveted lifestyles come together. Set within beautifully established grounds beneath the Constantiaberg, the property enjoys sweeping views across the Constantia Valley towards the False Bay coastline, creating a rare sense of privacy and openness within easy reach of the city.Designed by internationally renowned architect Stefan Antoni, the residence is defined by bold contemporary architecture softened by warm, highly liveable interiors. Expansive glazing, generous proportions and carefully framed views connect the home to its landscape throughout, while three substantial levels provide exceptional flexibility for family life, entertaining and extended stays.Eight spacious en-suite bedrooms offer considerable accommodation for family and guests, complemented by a series of elegant reception spaces including a private library, leisure lounge and indoor sauna. The scale of the home allows formal and informal living to coexist comfortably, making it equally suited to quiet everyday life and large-scale entertaining.The lower ground floor has been conceived as a dedicated entertainment level, with a generous lounge and built-in bar flowing onto broad terraces and landscaped gardens. From here, the home opens naturally to its outdoor spaces, where mountain views, mature planting and carefully considered leisure areas create a private resort-like setting.At the centre of the outdoor lifestyle is a striking 16-metre swimming pool, surrounded by immaculate lawns and gardens arranged across two terraced levels. Eight putting greens and an elegant braai terrace add further opportunities for recreation and entertaining, all positioned to maximise privacy and take full advantage of the surrounding scenery.One of the estates most distinctive features is its fully equipped private theatre. Housed within a separate garden pavilion, the venue includes a stage, backstage facilities and tiered seating for approximately 40 to 60 guests. Whether used for private screenings, performances, talks, intimate events or family entertainment, it is a feature seldom found in a private Cape Town residence.The property also presents compelling future potential. Subject to the necessary planning and regulatory approvals, its scale, accommodation and amenities could lend themselves to an intimate luxury hotel, exclusive guest retreat, wellness destination or high-end hospitality concept. This versatility makes the estate particularly attractive to international purchasers seeking both lifestyle and long-term opportunity.Property FeaturesLandmark residence designed by Stefan AntoniPrestigious Constantia settingEight spacious en-suite bedroomsThree substantial levels of accommodationMultiple formal and informal reception areasPrivate libraryDedicated leisure loungeLarge indoor saunaLower-level entertainment suite with built-in barFully equipped private theatre with stage and backstage facilitiesTiered theatre seating for approximately 4060 guests16 x 6 metre swimming poolEight putting greensElegant outdoor braai terraceExpansive landscaped gardens and lawnsGardens arranged across two terraced levelsSpectacular Constantiaberg and False Bay viewsTriple garageAdditional off-street parkingGarden storageAccess to a shared estate boreholeComprehensive inverter-based backup power systemOff-grid power capabilityAlarm and perimeter securityCarefully positioned for exceptional privacyPotential hospitality or guest-retreat conversion, subject to approvalThe Constantia and Cape Town LifestyleConstantia offers a particularly compelling version of Cape Town living: space, greenery and privacy, yet with the citys cultural, culinary and coastal attractions within easy reach.
