Le Secret Le Mieux Gardé De Constantia, Avec La Vallée À Ses Pieds

High on the Constantia mountainside, on more than 7,300m² of established grounds, this English Tudor-style home delivers privacy, character and views you won’t find anywhere else. Leafy Constantia, False Bay, the Helderberg, Hangklip and Kogelberg ranges, all the way round to Muizenberg: it’s one sweeping panorama.

Step inside and feel the history. Solid wood floors, exposed beams, leaded glass windows and a beautifully curved staircase give the home a warmth and authenticity that new builds can’t copy. The reception area with its fireplace is made for winter evenings and full-house gatherings. Although build with this style, the home is not Heritage protected.

Room for everyone. 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, including a main en-suite, plus a separate flatlet above the garage and staff accommodation. The kitchen has solid wood cabinetry, integrated fridge and freezer units, pantry cupboards, a scullery and a laundry area.

Then there’s the garden. Mature trees, meandering pathways and natural planting make a forest-like world where children explore and adults unwind. At its heart, the pool and the historic entertainment pavilion, once a tea garden, sit in the best spot on the property, looking out over the valley to the sea and the mountains beyond.

Self-sufficient and low maintenance. Mountain spring water is stored in a tank and reservoir before feeding the home, filling the pool and irrigating the gardens, while the largely natural landscape stays beautiful year-round with minimal upkeep.

Private, secure, and minutes from everything. A shared driveway adds to the sense of seclusion, yet Constantia’s schools, wine estates and restaurants are just down the road.

The seller is currently pursuing subdivision approval, which may offer a purchaser future flexibility. Heritage status and any renovation potential should be confirmed through the purchaser’s own enquiries.

Witteboomen is more than a home. It’s a piece of Constantia with a story waiting for its next chapter.
