ikhaya lentaba ('Mountain home') was designed by top architect Heidi Zollner and is a beautiful home ideally suited to its surroundings. From its commanding position, sweeping curved windows and glass sliding doors celebrate the spectacular scenery. The house enjoys panoramic, uninterrupted views of the pristine sandy bay and the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean. To the south, views of the rocky mountains are equally impressive and the house opens onto the beautiful Baskloof Nature reserve at the back.

Organic design and expansive, flowing spaces give this modern house an airy and light character. Architectural detail, stained wooden floors, camphor and cedar furniture and touches of Asian and African decor enhance the natural character of this unique home.

Extensive open plan dining and living area with wide folding glass doors lead onto a broad sea-facing balcony. This house is perfect for a relaxing indoor/outdoor lifestyle. A log fireplace and under-floor heating provide cosiness in colder weather.

The spacious kitchen has modern appliances, fine blackwood work surfaces and gives full views onto the mountainside.

It features a five burner gas hob with extractor, electric double oven, large double sink, set into a large granite top, a fridge/freezer and generous cupboard space.

This impressive house, with its wonderful location and free-flowing space, has four bedrooms with double beds (or one twin), two bathrooms and a hot outdoor shower. An additional futon in the lounge provides for a maximum of ten persons.

There is a small lawned garden at the back with direct access to the nature reserve behind.

There are two stories, with two bedrooms and a bathroom on each level, offering flexibility. One downstairs bedroom features sweeping views of the bay.

On the ground floor is a spacious flag-stoned studio with a ceramic basin.

The house has a number of creative features, including a 'bottle wall' and glass tiles in the bathroom.

A small lawn at the rear has a gate leading onto the Baskloof reserve, which offers excellent walking, flora and birdlife. To the front a terraced ‘fynbos’ indigenous garden leads down to a car-port and off-street parking for a further three cars.

Scarborough is the 'Monterey' of the Cape Peninsula, a highly desirable small village in a spectacular setting. The safest suburb of Cape Town, most houses are unfenced and there is a very friendly atmosphere.

Surrounded by extensive nature reserves, with a beautiful quiet beach, this area attracts a friendly community of local and international nature lovers and discerning holiday-makers.

It is well located for Simons Town, Kalk Bay, Cape Point and other Peninsula attractions, including baboon, penguin and whale watching. It is less than an hour into the city centre or the winelands via beautiful roads. There are numerous good restaurants and golf courses on the Peninsula, and a large modern shopping mall is only 15 minutes away.
