Description
Ruyteplaats Private Estate is a 34 hectare residential retreat nestled on the southern slopes of Table Mountain, offering breathtaking views of Hout Bay Valley. Providing families with a secure, tranquil lifestyle and a range of amenities, including a tennis court, hiking trails, a lakeside picnic area, kids' bike track, playground, zip line, soccer pitch and a padel court in the planning.
Tucked away beside a peaceful greenbelt in the prestigious Ruyteplaats Estate, this much loved family home offers privacy, comfort and an effortless connection to nature. Designed primarily on a single level, with just a few steps separating the bedrooms and TV lounge from the main living areas, the home strikes a perfect balance between open flow and intimate spaces.
As you enter, you're welcomed by a cosy TV lounge complete with a wood burning fireplace, an ideal retreat for winter evenings. Internal sliding doors allow the space to be closed off, creating a private cinema for movie nights or an energetic hub for watching the game.
On this upper split level, two generous family bedrooms share a full bathroom, one cleverly fitted with a mezzanine double bed to maximise play and study space below. A guest cloakroom and a versatile study or third smaller bedroom are tucked into the passageway, separated from the main lounge by a warm wooden screen that offers both aesthetic charm and functional privacy.
Step down into the master bedroom, where you pass through a corridor of built in cupboards before entering a sun filled sanctuary with large windows, a feature fireplace and direct access to the outside deck. The en suite bathroom is fully equipped and the entire space is designed to invite rest and connection to the surrounding natural beauty.
The heart of the home lies in its open plan living and dining area, featuring vaulted ceilings and another inviting fireplace. The spacious kitchen is ideal for entertaining, with a central island where family and guests naturally gather. A scullery and laundry are conveniently tucked away, with direct garage access and a private drying yard.
Large sliding doors in the living and dining areas create seamless indoor outdoor flow to the expansive deck, a true entertainer’s dream. Partially covered and complete with a built-in braai, it’s perfect for summer dining and lounging, all while soaking in panoramic views stretching from Hout Bay across the mountains of Chapman’s Peak to the distant lighthouse at Kommetjie.
Beyond the deck lies a unique eco pool that offers the refreshing feel of a mountain spring without the need for chemicals and a firepit area where you can gather with friends and family for stories and s’mores under the stars. Alternatively enjoy the shade of the large oak tree on a hot summer’s day.
Adding to the home's charm is a detached thatch-roofed studio that feels both rustic and grand. With vaulted ceilings, glass sliding doors and views over the pool and lower deck seating area, it’s an inspiring space for work, creativity or guest accommodation. It includes its own bathroom, kitchenette plumbing options and a fourth fireplace proving that one cosy corner is never quite enough.
This is a home filled with warmth, charm and soul, the kind of place where memories are made and life is lived fully, surrounded by nature yet only minutes from the heart of Cape Town.

- Underfloor heating in the two main house bathrooms
- Electric oven with gas cook top
