Contemporary in Camps Bay with Sea, Bay, Lake and Mountain Views

With space for 10 guests across its panoramic structure, this newly built villa (designed by Renato Graca of GSquared Architects) takes in mountain, ocean, lake and bay views. The five-bedroom space communicates a Brutalist bent with its solid concrete volume, while glass, stone and lush vegetation open up and brighten the generous spaces with light and varied textures.

The villa’s five spacious bedrooms offer ensuite baths. The common spaces present ample lounging options for admiring the home's art and design elements as well as the surrounding natural scenery. The floating staircase, oversized glass sliders and open, airy floor plan soften the building's sturdy, geometric construction.

The villa’s L-shaped swimming pool takes in views of Camps Bay, and there’s an on-site gym, sauna and wine cellar that add to the exclusive amenities. The property enjoys a central location, with neighboring villas, though it's insulated by landscaping and opens to big bay views from its outdoor entertainment area. The home benefits from an independent power and water supply, an on-site housekeeping service, and additional services such as a pre-filled fridge on arrival and/or a private chef.

Around

Immersed in its panoramic Camps Bay landscape, this sustainably designed villa stands in a centrally located Cape Town neighborhood, which draws upmarket residents and visitors for its namesake beach, easily accessed from the property. A sandy white stretch with natural rock pools, the popular beach is backed by the rugged, rocky Twelve Apostles mountains. The neighborhood is packed with posh waterfront area restaurants and cocktail bars and an action-packed promenade that’s the place to see and be seen. The Promenade Mall offers haute boutiques and independent galleries, and there are dozens of cafes, coffeehouses, hotels and tour outfitters all along the bay. European hipsters flock to the area in season, creating a youthful, buzzing scene, and the upscale suburb curves along the Atlantic only about 15 minutes’ drive from Cape Town’s city center. Hikers can head into the Twelve Apostles Range to explore deep ravines, jagged cliffs, and achingly deep gorges. The Tranquility Cracks hike features 5-meter-deep cracks near the landmark Corridor Ravine and Pipe Track trails.
