La Côte Des Baleines : « Là Où Mer, Montagne Et Famille Se Rencontrent »

Exclusive Listing

Perched just outside Hermanus, this home occupies one of the area’s most prized positions, a rare vantage where sweeping sea views meet a dramatic mountain backdrop. The Seller recalls: “From the moment we first saw it, we were struck with a single thought: Wow! Perfect location and endless potential. We bought it as a long-term investment in family time and lasting value, and for years it has been our holiday sanctuary, its unrivalled position the very reason it outshone every other property we considered.”

The house is a true four-season retreat: summers are cool and breezy thanks to its closeness to the sea, making fans sufficient without the need for air conditioning, while winters are cozy with underfloor heating in the living area and three fireplaces that create intimate warmth. Outdoor spaces are used year-round and every season brings its own spectacle, from sparkling summer seas to dramatic winter skies. Best of all, Hermanus offers world class seasonal attractions: renowned whale watching right from the shore, excellent coastal walks and surf and nearby wine country experiences, so there is always something new to discover.

Inside, the house unfolds with generous, flexible living spaces designed for family life and entertaining. A separate two-bedroom cottage sits across a sunny courtyard, perfect for guests or as a rental. The ground floor of the main house offers a large open plan kitchen and living area with four bedrooms off the social spaces and wide sliding doors that open onto the front stoep and views beyond. Upstairs is another expansive living area and the private main suite, complete with its own sitting corner and a large open veranda where mornings are spent with coffee and sometimes whales on the horizon, but always against the background of an ever-changing sea-canvas.

Together the layout creates distinct zones for privacy and togetherness—ideal for multi-generational holidays or even a guesthouse conversion.
