ClareMart’s hammer will soon fall on a Scarborough home which is surrounded by unspoilt natural beauty and protected flora.
Scarborough, which lies just beyond Kommetjie and Noordhoek on the Cape Peninsula, was originally home to a community of artists, musicians, writers and nature lovers, says Anton Koegelenberg, ClareMart senior auction consultant.
“Over the years, mainstream residents have integrated into the community, yet Scarborough has never lost its tranquil and chilled vibe.”
Koegelenberg describes Scarborough as “effectively a conservation village characterised by a random scattering of houses and beach homes on the steep mountains of Slangkop and Red Hill, with the thundering Atlantic Ocean waves breaking way down below.”
The five-bedroom house on offer, set on a 1305m² erf, integrates seamlessly into the natural surroundings.
“With two full bathrooms and open-plan living areas, including a lounge with fireplace, this home has as much character and ambience inside as the natural surroundings have outside.”
A double garage, a large swimming pool, as well as breathtaking ocean views, complete this property’s offering of luxury, style, comfort and beauty, says Koegelenberg.
“Despite its proximity to the city and the recent property boom that has seen an exponential increase in property values, Scarborough remains far from the hustle and bustle. Being adjacent to the Cape Point Nature Reserve also guarantees there will be very little future development in the area and that the treasured, and sometimes rare, plant species will be protected.”
The area is well-known for water sports like kite-surfing, body-boarding, kayaking and fishing, and the surrounding towns of Simon’s Town, Fish Hoek and Noordhoek offer quaint and popular restaurants, bars, shops and other attractions.
The property, at 2 Jasmine Way in Scarborough, will be on show between 2pm and 5pm on March 17 and will be auctioned at ClareMart’s next multiple auction, to be held at the One&Only Hotel, V&A Waterfront, at noon on March 25.
