Hermanus, Western Cape, South Africa

Properties combining this position, scale and breadth of sea frontage seldom reach the market. These are the kinds of coastal holdings families retain for generations rather than regularly offer for sale. The distinction lies in: the extent of the land, its relationship to the shoreline and the outlook it commands.

Occupying arguably one of the finest coastal positions in Hermanus, the property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial property above a secluded beach. Equivalent in size to approximately four standard stands, with around twice the sea frontage of many other seafront properties, the holding brings together an exceptional coastal setting and a scale of land seldom available in such a position.

Its relationship with the sea is particularly compelling. Uninterrupted sea views are enjoyed from ground-floor level, here, the views are not reserved for an upper-storey vantage point. They are a defining quality of the property from the ground up.

A secluded beach lies below the house, reached through the intervening green belt. This connection gives the setting an appeal beyond the outlook alone: the opportunity to make the beach part of everyday life, within minutes.

The true offering is the land: a substantial coastal holding and a remarkable setting for an exceptional private residence. Presented as a rebuild opportunity, the property invites a new architectural vision shaped by the scale of the grounds, the breadth of the sea frontage and its position between mountain and sea.

For a buyer seeking to commission a bespoke coastal home, the combination is compelling. A future residence could be conceived around the uninterrupted ground-level outlook, with architecture, gardens and outdoor living spaces designed together to make the most of this extraordinary setting. The existing house is secondary; the opportunity lies in creating a home that responds fully to the land and its relationship with the sea.

This is an opportunity to secure more than the site for a new residence. It is the setting for a legacy property, designed for the way its owners wish to live today and for the generations to follow.
