PROUD EXCLUSIVE SOLE MANDATE.

Wake up to the ocean every day. Set in one of Hermanus’ most coveted coastal enclaves, this property occupies an exceptional front-row position along one of the town’s renowned cliff roads, overlooking protected greenbelt and the magnificent expanse of Walker Bay beyond.

From its elevated position, the property enjoys spectacular sea and mountain views, creating an ever-changing backdrop of coastline, sky and nature. Set on an impressive 1,943 m² erf, this substantial residence offers a remarkable combination of scale, character, land and an extraordinary coastal outlook.

Built in 1942 and held within the same family for 25 years, the home retains the warmth and elegance of a much-loved period residence, with beautiful timber floors, generous proportions, classic architectural detailing and expansive windows that invite natural light and the surrounding landscape into the living spaces.

The home is designed around its extraordinary setting, with the principal living and entertainment spaces embracing the views. The kitchen and main lounge downstairs enjoy sweeping 180-degree vistas across the ocean and protected Fynbos greenbelt, creating the feeling of a never-ending garden and an exceptional backdrop for everyday living and entertaining. Expansive glazing draws the landscape indoors, while generous proportions make these spaces ideal for relaxed family living or effortless entertaining.

A second lounge upstairs offers an intimate retreat, perfectly positioned for whale watching or unwinding beside the cosy fireplace. With uninterrupted views across Walker Bay through the bay window and doors opening onto mountain views from the balcony, the landscape surrounds the room from every angle, creating a profound sense of peace and connection to nature.

The main bedroom is generously proportioned and wonderfully private, opening onto a sizeable balcony where views extend across the established gardens, beyond the Fynbos and towards the ocean.

The second and third bedrooms are generously sized, with ample cupboard space and abundant natural light. A dedicated home office provides a quiet workspace, while a separate one-bedroom cottage with lounge and kitchenette offers flexibility for guests, extended family or staff.

Throughout the home, original timber floors and staircase reinforce its timeless character, complemented by the home’s classic architecture and generous proportions.

A separate entertainment area and outdoor braai space provide an inviting setting for hosting family and friends throughout the seasons.

The beautifully established garden is immaculate and expansive, with mature landscaping, lush lawns and secluded garden spaces. It naturally extend into the surrounding Fynbos along the cliff roads, creating a seamless continuation of the landscape and an extraordinary sense of space and privacy.

The property is further enhanced by a solar panel, inverter and battery system, an established vegetable garden, and ample secure parking within the property.

Properties combining scale, established gardens, period architecture and a prime front-row coastal position are increasingly difficult to find in Hermanus.

For the discerning buyer seeking privacy, generous grounds, timeless character and an exceptional ocean outlook, this is a distinctive piece of Hermanus with the enduring qualities to become a lasting family legacy.
