Architectural Coastal Retreat with Income Potential

Grotto Bay Private Nature Reserve
Tucked gently into the heart of Grotto Bay’s Private Nature Reserve, this exceptional four-bedroom home offers a rare fusion of architectural sophistication, sustainable living, and proven lifestyle income — all set against a backdrop of protected fynbos and endless Atlantic skies.
This is not simply a home.
It is a carefully designed sanctuary, positioned within an estate where only 61 hectares of the total 417 hectares will ever be developed, ensuring enduring privacy, conservation, and long-term value.
Design that Embraces Light, Flow & Nature
The interior unfolds with confidence and calm — clean architectural lines, natural textures, and light-filled spaces that move effortlessly from one zone to the next.
At the heart of the home sits a beautifully designed statement kitchen, complete with sleek cabinetry, a central island ideal for social gatherings, and a separate scullery that keeps functionality discreet and efficient. The kitchen flows seamlessly into open-plan dining and living areas, where a fireplace anchors the space, creating warmth in winter and atmosphere year-round.
Large glass stacker doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, opening onto two distinct entertainment patios, including one with an indoor braai, allowing for hosting in all seasons.
The home enjoys the rare advantage of backing onto a greenbelt, offering privacy, birdsong, and uninterrupted views of nature rather than neighbouring homes.
Thoughtfully Zoned Accommodation
Upstairs, a striking glass bridge adds architectural drama while connecting the bedroom wing.
• The sea-facing main suite is a true retreat, offering elevated views, a spa-style en-suite bathroom, and a sense of tranquility unique to protected coastal estates.
• Additional bedrooms are well positioned to balance privacy with connection.
• A private guest suite downstairs provides independence for visitors — or ideal accommodation for paying guests.
Turnkey Lifestyle & Income Opportunity
This home is currently operated as a Bed & Breakfast, with an experienced on-site operator within the estate managing bookings and guests.
A new owner may:
• Seamlessly continue the B&B operation
• Enjoy a lock-up-and-go lifestyle with income
• Or transition the property into a full-time residential home
The property could be sold fully furnished, with furniture optionally purchasable and excluded from the asking price — allowing immediate occupation or continued income generation from day one.
Sustainable, Self-Sufficient & Secure
This property is exceptionally well equipped for modern, resilient living:
• Solar panels with inverter and backup battery system
• Well point supplying water for garden irrigation
• Central heating and air-conditioning throughout
• Double garage plus additional secure parking
• Pet-friendly estate (No Cats)
• Access-controlled security and conservation management
The Grotto Bay Lifestyle
Grotto Bay is not a conventional estate — it is a conservation-driven coastal reserve, offering residents:
• Private beach access
• Walking and nature trails
• Limited development for lasting exclusivity
• A rare harmony between architecture and ecology
Homes here are seldom available — and once sold, rarely released back to the market.
In Summary
Whether you are seeking:
• A fully furnished luxury residence (Optional not included in selling price)
• A coastal lifestyle investment with income
• A secure nature-reserve retreat within an hour of Cape Town
This home offers a once-in-a-cycle opportunity to own within one of South Africa’s most unique and tightly held coastal estates.
