5 Bedroom House for sale in Bantry Bay

Some homes just have a way of making you pause right at the door. This five bedroom villa in Bantry Bay is exactly that sort of place. Designed by Van der Merwe Miszewski who honestly have a knack for putting homes in the right spot it sits up on Lions Head and feels quietly tucked among tall old trees. Even as you come up the driveway you can see glimpses of the Atlantic Ocean beyond those branches and sometimes the water glows all the way out to Robben Island. I remember standing by the triple volume windows and actually forgetting to check my phone for once. It kind of invites you to stop and just look outside for a second or two.

The house itself is a real mix of calm and bold. The palette is really soft and simple. Light timber everywhere glass that just wraps you in the view and a touch of steel so it feels modern but comfortable not cold at all. Honestly the way the trees almost reach right up to the windows makes you feel like you are living inside a really cool treehouse the grownup kind where you still hear birds in the morning. You will also notice how the light changes through the day. That big glassed void in the middle lets the sunlight move right into the heart of the house. Even on quiet days when there is cloud you still feel lifted up by the space.

It is designed around a really open plan lounge and dining area which just spills into a proper kitchen. Not the type you feel nervous to cook in either. You can picture friends sitting over a late breakfast while someone actually uses the stove. The dining table by the window is perfect for watching the evening sky change color or that quick coffee in the morning before work. And the thing is it does not feel formal. There is just a flow from one room to the next so you are never cut off from whoever is in the house. Downstairs there is a proper basement rec room if you need to let off some steam or set up a family movie night plus a dedicated studio space that would probably suit an artist or even just someone needing to work from home with a bit of peace. It does not shout for attention but you can feel the care in every detail.

There are five real bedrooms that manage to feel both private and connected. You get full en suite bathrooms plenty of space for storing your actual clothes not just for show and window views that let you peek through green leaves or out to the ocean. It is the kind of place where you want to crack the glass doors open at night for a breeze and maybe listen out for the waves if it is quiet enough. The study is there as well in case you need somewhere to focus away from the main living area but honestly you will probably end up sitting with your laptop out on the balcony on most days. There is also staff quarters tucked away neatly and even extra secure parking so guests never feel like a hassle. The garage fits two cars without issue but you have space for plenty more if you have visitors.

Step outside and you will see how the landscaping blends with everything else. Native shrubs tall bushy trees and enough space for kids to play or for those long summer lunches with friends. Sometimes you even catch families strolling the quiet lanes or the odd group walking up towards Lions Head for sunset. Bantry Bay itself is just close enough to feel connected to Cape Town life but quietly separate too. The coffee shop runs early you always find someone jogging in the mornings and the ocean feels like part of your backyard.

The only way to know if it feels right is to come see it for yourself. If you have any questions or just want to walk around and take it all in reach out whenever you like. At LuxuryProperty.com we are always happy to help you find a home that fits you just right.
