A Rarity In A Quiet Pocket Of Bakoven Right On The Water’s Edge

Listing with Cinematic Feature Film*

Anchored into a granite outcrop along the Atlantic Seaboard, at the highest elevation on this stretch of Bakoven’s coastline, is a residence shaped by restraint and intent.

Designed by Van der Merwe Miszewski Architects (VDMMA), the studio behind Cape Town’s Zeitz MOCAA precinct at the V&A Waterfront, the architecture is deliberate and enduring. Three levels are anchored into solid granite, oriented entirely toward open ocean and the Twelve Apostles mountain range beyond.

This is not a house that frames the sea as a view.
It lives within it.

Spatial Composition:
The main living level is intentionally composed, with an open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge flowing seamlessly onto a Garapa timber deck suspended above the Atlantic. A fifth en-suite bedroom, currently configured as an office, is also positioned on this level. The materials are tactile and honest, granite walls, double glazing, and carefully modulated natural light throughout.

The kitchen is fully integrated with Miele appliances, granite island, Niemann cabinetry, multiple ovens, climate-controlled wine storage and a separate scullery.

Four en-suite bedrooms are arranged across the upper levels, each opening outward to uninterrupted ocean outlooks. The primary suite includes a private dressing area and an additional studio or retreat space, adaptable to the needs of its owner.

Imported Italian sanitaryware, enduring quality finishes, architectural continuity throughout.

Substructure:
Beneath the living quarters lies a 200-square-metre basement, accessed via a four-post hydraulic lift and designed to accommodate a pickup truck or any SUVs with ease. The space comfortably houses four to six vehicles. In a coastal enclave where parking is typically limited, this allocation of volume is both rare and highly valuable.

The property is constructed with approximately 140 tons of solid granite and finished with weather-durable Garapa decking. Infrastructure includes solar and inverter systems, borehole-linked water storage (4,000 litres), and comprehensive security with custom shutters and surveillance.

Fully independent when required. Quietly fortified.

Position & Scarcity:
Bakoven remains one of the most tightly held residential enclaves in South Africa, a low-density coastline with limited turnover and enduring global demand. Positioned off a private cul-de-sac, this residence offers direct ocean frontage, elevation, and a level of privacy rarely achieved along the Atlantic Seaboard.

In global terms, this is a waterfront asset in a politically stable, lifestyle-driven city with established international appeal and limited supply.

This is a home defined by its setting, material integrity, and quiet confidence.
