Western Cape, Plettenberg Bay, South Africa

You enter The Hill through its 24-hour manned gate, rising into an estate that feels truly on top of the world, with roads lined by manicured gardens and beautifully cohesive beige homes crowned in terracotta roof tiles. At the very end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the home's driveway stretches toward ample exterior parking before you pull into the fully finished double garage. An inviting entry porch leads you through the grand wooden front door into a striking open-plan living space, where regal marble tiles, gallery-style lighting, and expansive wall space set an elegant, art-ready tone.

A built-in TV shelf anchors the lounge, while the gentle crackle of the wood-burning fireplace infuses the home with an aura of warmth. The space drifts naturally through the dining area, edged by a full run of windows dressed in soft curtains, illuminating the gleaming space with a lovely natural glow.

To the right, the kitchen continues the home’s refined aesthetic with quartz countertops, sleek grey whisper-close cabinetry, tall glass-fronted display cupboards, and a marble backsplash. Practicality follows in a gas hob, oven, extractor fan, and a tucked-away scullery provisioned for laundry, with direct access to a drying yard where an outdoor shower and external storage room extend the home’s utility.

Beside the lounge, sliding glass doors open to a covered porch designed for effortless entertaining. Picture yourself preparing delicious meals upon the long countertop with a sink, while the built-in braai exudes tasty aromas, friends gather at the dining table, and laughter drifts from the shimmering pool where loved ones cool off under the sun. A neat lawn and quaint wraparound flower garden frame the space, bordered by a low decorative wall. With its north-facing orientation, this outdoor haven enjoys warm sunlight from morning to evening—especially treasured during the winter months.

Back inside, the lower level is completed by a guest room with an en-suite bathroom, interior access to the garage, and a guest cloakroom with convenient under-stair storage. From here, you ascend the marble-tiled staircase with its glass balustrades to the home’s bedroom wing.

To the left, the master suite unfolds in generous proportions, offering a walk-in closet and sliding glass doors that flow to a balcony with extraordinary elevated views of the distant mountains — so you wake each day to a horizon of majesty — while the indulgent en-suite bathroom enjoys dual sinks, a luxurious bathtub, and elegant gold-rimmed mirrors. Three additional bedrooms reside on this level, each with built-in storage, an ensuite bathroom, and one featuring a charming Juliet balcony and dedicated office nook.

Despite feeling like a world of its own high above the town, The Hill is only a three-minute drive from shops and restaurants and five minutes from Plett’s famous beaches—offering a seamless blend of serenity and convenience within this safe, family-oriented estate. Homes in this elevated enclave are perpetually in high demand, so don’t miss this rare opportunity to claim your place in this coveted hilltop paradise.
