Pam Golding Properties highlights the property’s prime location on the Atlantic Seaboard as a significant advantage against these strong winds.
‘Location is crucial, and here it offers notable benefits, as the suburb primarily faces north—a highly sought-after orientation—while the Atlantic coastline typically faces west,’ explained Basil Moraitis, regional head for Pam Golding Properties in the Western Cape. He noted the ongoing demand in this tranquil, upscale area, which often leads to a shortage of available properties.
Bantry Bay is known for its tightly held properties, with few listings making their way to the market. Nestled on the slopes of Lion’s Head and the Table Mountain Nature Reserve, the suburb provides easy access to popular areas like Clifton, Camps Bay, and the vibrant nightlife of Sea Point, as well as the restaurants and shops at the V&A Waterfront.
‘With limited listings, Bantry Bay remains a coveted enclave, attracting celebrities and business leaders, alongside the exclusive Ellerman House boutique hotel,’ Moraitis added. The suburb’s single access road enhances its peaceful atmosphere, complemented by spectacular ocean views and some of the region’s most stylish residences, often priced above R50 million. The property features five en-suite bedrooms and is located on the ridge between Bantry Bay and Clifton. It offers panoramic views of Robben Island, Clifton, and Llandudno, and includes six bathrooms, four reception rooms, and spacious garage parking for three cars, along with additional off-street parking.
Surrounded by the breathtaking Twelve Apostles Mountain range, this modern 1 000 sqm home combines tranquility with luxury. Notable features include a double-volume atrium, a sunken lounge overlooking an infinity pool, a cocktail bar, a cigar lounge, a Zen garden, and an entertainment deck with a wrap-around rim flow pool. The open-plan kitchen and dining areas are perfect for entertaining, and additional amenities include a gym, an executive study suitable for remote work, a steam room, and staff accommodation.
High-end features like a heating and cooling system and ambient piped music enhance the living experience in this lavish retreat.
