An extraordinary and exceptionally rare opportunity awaits to acquire one of the last remaining deep-waterfront properties in the historic and highly coveted Rooibaai on the West Coast Peninsula, Western Cape, South Africa. This is not merely a residence; it is a magnificent estate poised for a discerning visionary to imbue it with their unique signature and elevate it to its ultimate potential.

Commanding an unparalleled position with breathtaking panoramas of both the majestic Berg River and the expansive St Helena Bay, this grand property, while steeped in timeless character, now presents itself as an unrivalled canvas for bespoke architectural reimagination. The substantial, fully fenced grounds, nourished by an abundant borehole, ensure absolute privacy. A truly significant asset is the property's private deep-water jetty, offering immediate and unrestricted access to the estuary and beyond.

Currently operating as an established guest residence with a proven track record of substantial income, this property offers a compelling foundation for the astute entrepreneur or a magnificent private retreat. It is understood that this venerable estate requires a comprehensive restoration and modernization to truly realize its inherent grandeur and value in today's luxury market.

Upon arrival, a gracious entrance hall introduces a home brimming with original charm. To one wing, a thoughtfully configured workspace and two generously proportioned guest suites, each offering comfort and privacy, share a well-appointed bathroom.

The heart of the main residence holds the promise of an inviting warmth, with a sophisticated lounge, anchored by a ceramic fireplace. A delightful discovery awaits in the form of a charming, secluded wine cellar, awaiting re-creation to provide the perfect ambiance for connoisseurs.

Ascend to the upper level to discover the expansive master suite. Here, original built-in storage complements a luxurious en-suite bathroom. Imagine unwinding in a refined soaking tub, a private sanctuary offering captivating vistas of boats gently swaying at the jetty and the poetic spectacle of cormorants silhouetted against the dusk sky. A discreet private balcony, accessible from the bathroom, overlooks the sparkling pool, providing a serene escape.

Returning to the lower level, the bright and airy dining room, complete with a pizza oven, invites the creation of memorable gatherings. The kitchen, featuring a breakfast bar, offers breathtaking panoramas of the private pool and the iconic Berg River. Seamlessly, sliding doors connect the culinary spaces to an expansive patio, ideal for refined al fresco dining or moments of quiet contemplation poolside.

Beyond the main house a outdoor veranda, centered around a fireplace, provides a secluded haven. A private en-suite guest room with its own external entrance ensures discreet accommodation. Below the master suite, a sizeable one-bedroom apartment, boasting direct access to the private jetty, offers versatile potential as a separate rental income stream or a tranquil, self-contained retreat.

Throughout the property, a rich tapestry of textures and elements, including lovely old school parquet flooring in the living room and main bedroom, and classic stained-glass windows, evoke a strong sense of 'olde worlde' charm. While these rustic elements seamlessly blend with modern touches and classic details, the discerning eye will appreciate the opportunity to embark on a significant project of revitalisation, transforming this unique property into a contemporary masterpiece while preserving its inherent heritage.

This is more than a home; it is an extraordinary acquisition for those who understand that true luxury lies in the ability to shape a vision. A tangible legacy, this property offers tremendous possibilities for the visionary owner, representing a solid and enduring investment in an irreplaceable and highly sought-after location on the West Coast Peninsula.
