Coastal-Style Living from Schoongezicht Estate’s Hilltop

SOLE MANDATE

You arrive through the 24-hour manned gates of Schoongezicht Country Estate, where state-of-the-art security gives way to rolling hills and emerald valleys, and coral tree-lined roads weave past well kept homes with tiled roofs. Just below the crest of one of these hills, this beautiful home sits tucked in a quiet corner: elevated, private, and wrapped in lush greenery.

After parking in the garage or beneath the bamboo-covered double carport, you step inside the open plan living space, where concrete floors and whitewashed brick walls create a relaxed, beachy atmosphere — coastal in spirit, yet grounded and contemporary, as though a seaside home has been lifted high above the landscape. Past a guest cloakroom, the kitchen overlooks the dining area and lounge, with crisp quartz countertops, sleek white soft-close cabinetry, and a unique grey quartz island with casual seating that adds a flair of contrast and character. Practicality follows style with a gas hob, oven, walk-in pantry, and a coffee bar provisioned for a bar fridge, while a tucked-away scullery and laundry opens to a drying yard.

From the living space, sliding glass doors draw you outward onto a covered balcony designed for both dining and lounging, graced with elevated cinematic views over the valley, all the way to Robberg Peninsula and the Indian ocean.

Back inside, four bedrooms with laminate flooring, ceiling fans, and en-suite bathrooms are positioned symmetrically, with two on either side of the living space. The master bedroom additionally enjoys ample built-in cupboards, doors opening onto the balcony that welcome in the spectacular view, and an en-suite bathroom with dual basins, a luxurious bathtub, separate toilet, and a striking pebble-finished shower.

Stairs next to the dining area descend to a lower-level entertainment zone, where a TV lounge anchors the space, flowing into a generous dining area beside a stately bar, complete with shelving for your favourite bottles and provision for a bar fridge. Sliding doors open onto the pool deck, where a covered section creates the perfect spot for outdoor couches, while the pool shimmers in the sun, surrounded by lawn and tall hedges that make the space wonderfully private and serene.

Adjacent to the garage is a self-contained staff or guest suite with a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette, while a backup inverter and two geysers provide added peace of mind and everyday comfort.

Schoongezicht Estate is cherished for its family-friendly, nature-oriented atmosphere, with a children’s play park within the estate, Greenwood Private School just up the road, and the Plettenberg Bay Country Club right next door for any golf or padel enthusiasts in the family. Generous plot sizes embrace the natural surroundings and encourage outdoor living, enriched by a vast central park dotted with tranquil dams that spans the valley, while boardwalks thread through protected indigenous forest alive with birdsong and wildlife sightings. Yet despite this eco-centric setting, Plettenberg Bay’s vibrant town centre and famous blue flag beaches are only a few minutes drive away, ensuring everyday amenities and activities are always within easy reach.
