Bring the Horses

Nestled in the heart of Hout Bay's scenic valley, this rustic dual dwelling equestrian property offers a rare blend of tranquility, privacy and convenience. With easy access to riding paths, the river and the beach without the hassle of extensive road work, this property is a dream come true for young riders and those seeking an idyllic, rural lifestyle.

The equestrian facilities include a five-stable block complete with a feed room, tack room, and toilet and basin, plus space to add a shower for a live-in groom. Two well treed paddocks offer excellent shelter on hot days, directly above the riding arena. There is plenty of parking for all your needs including the horse boxes.

The main house is perched atop the two acre estate, providing sweeping mountain views and a serene vantage point over the grass paddocks and horse riding arena. This double storey home is designed in an older farmhouse style, offering open plan living on the lower level. The home features an ensuite bedroom downstairs, a lounge and dining area that seamlessly flow to outdoor spaces on either side. One leading to a north facing pool patio with a pizza oven, perfect for entertaining and the other opening to a spectacular pergola covered veranda that spans the full front of the house. This expansive veranda extends out to the lawn, creating an ideal space to relax and unwind at any time of day.

The kitchen, while simple, presents an opportunity for future expansion or renovation, with a lovely spot just outside to create your very own vegetable and herb garden. The lower level also offers the added convenience of a guest loo and laundry.

Upstairs, you’ll find a spacious suite that encompasses a large bedroom, an annexed room, a dry walled study, dressing room and full bathroom. With some creative vision, this space could be reconfigured into two bedrooms. The lower level bedroom and bathroom open out to an outdoor shower and a private space that could be expanded to suit your needs.

The lower level of the property features the riding arena and five grass paddocks, ideal for grazing and training. Additionally, a private cottage with its own entrance offers an excellent dual living setup or an income generating opportunity, as it is currently tenanted. The cottage features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a well appointed kitchen and living area, and verandah space on two sides.

The converted garage provides a generous living area, offering ample space to include a bathroom or to be used as a playroom, family room or media room. Above, a loft space can be accessed via outside stairs, providing additional flexibility. This property is a true blank canvas, an opportunity to realise your dream lifestyle with the added benefit of off road riding paths right at your doorstep. Additional features include security, a borehole, two well points, water tanks, an automated irrigation system and three geysers, ensuring comfort and sustainability.

Rarely do properties like this become available, offering both a serene rural retreat and practical living in a location that simply can’t be beaten.
