Sanctuaire Verdoyant Et Isolé De Tamboerskloof

At the end of the charming Belle Ombre cul-de-sac, behind the mature canopy of magnificent yellowwood and wild olive trees, lies this seldom-found, character-filled home, offering total privacy in an incredibly serene setting.

From the original painted teak door with its polished brass knocker, one is welcomed into a passage that leads to adjoining living and dining areas, opening onto a secluded garden and generous pool. Established planting, including flowering camellias, hibiscus and bougainvillea, creates a lush escape alive with birdsong – and occasional chorus of rain frogs on a wintry day. The kitchen is conveniently positioned beside the dining area and opens directly onto the garden, with solid oak countertops adding to its appeal. This level also includes a guest cloakroom and a laundry/storeroom housing the 5kWh inverter and battery. For those wanting a more open-plan kitchen, the laundry could be incorporated as a scullery.

Upstairs, an elegant staircase with an Edwardian-style balustrade leads to three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main en-suite bedroom has generous built-in cupboards and two large windows framing views towards Table Mountain and Lion’s Head. The thoughtfully designed en-suite bathroom includes a large shower, WC, single vanity and hip-height dressing cabinet, with an equally beautiful view of Table Mountain over the wild olive treetop.

The remaining two bedrooms face north-east across Tamboerskloof’s much-loved historic roofscape. The larger room has a full wall of built-in cupboards, while the second offers scope to add further storage once the existing study shelving is removed. These bedrooms share a full family bathroom, where a north-west-facing window looks onto a calming wall of greenery.

Additional features include off-street parking for a couple of cars and a garage façade that opens onto a secure yard, suitable for a motorbike or sporting equipment. Positioned against the embankment, this secluded area also includes a sauna and private outdoor shower, offering the ultimate respite from the vibrant buzz of our world-class city. Within walking distance are the Blue Café & Deli, the shops and restaurants on Kloof Street, a selection of neighbourhood parks and mountain trails.
