Double Storey Home, Forest Side Of Elaleni Coastal Forest Estate — Sea Views, 787sqm

Start at the top, because that’s where this house wins. The roof level is built for the view and doesn’t pretend otherwise — a firepit, a built-in seat, a covered timber deck, all facing the sea over the treeline. It’s the kind of space that turns a Tuesday evening into an occasion, and it sits above everything else on the property, catching light and fresh ocean air.

Beneath it, the home settles into its forest-side plot in Elaleni Coastal Forest Estate, Sheffield Beach, with a full 787sqm under roof spread across three levels. The ground floor runs the show for daily living — kitchen, scullery and dining opening straight onto a pool terrace, outdoor dining area and braai, with a separate living room and office giving the household room to breathe without tripping over each other.

Staff accommodation is properly considered here, not an afterthought bolted onto a garage. It has its own en-suite bathroom, desk space and direct access, set apart enough to give everyone their privacy while keeping the household running smoothly.

The lower ground floor holds the bedrooms — a main suite, guest rooms, and a separate pyjama lounge with kitchenette that lets one wing of the house operate independently when you’ve got a full house of guests. Storage is generous throughout, and the internal staircase ties all three levels together without eating into the living space.

This home is transfer duty free, with construction on track for completion in 12 months. Buy now and you’re not locked into someone else’s decisions — there’s still room to adjust finishes and layout where it counts, before the build gets ahead of you.
