A look at the R19 million house in the ‘Jewel of the West Coast’

A R19 million house in Langebaan is off the grid and includes its own cinema room, gym, game room and African Teak bar.

According to Pam Golding Property, the property is one of the most desirable in Langebaan and has been meticulously curated to provide a bespoke lifestyle.

The property has top-class Italian tiles & taps, Grappa wall cladding, African Teak wooden steps, steel, and raw concrete.

There are also several indoor and outdoor entertainment spaces set over three levels.

The entrance leads into the living and dining area and then flows seamlessly out to the terrace and swimming pool, which have breathtaking sea views.

With Langebaan renowned for its strong winds, the outdoor entertainment area is sheltered from the summer South Easter winds and the gas and fire braai can be used all year round.

Inside, the master suite has a dressing room, a small private lounge area, and a sophisticated bathroom. The room also leads out to a balcony with lagoon views.

The other three bedrooms on the top floor include built-in headboards and built-in cupboards, including one en-suite and an extra bathroom to share.

All the rooms lead out to patios with automated curtains and sliding doors with spectacular views.

The property’s basement has a fully kitted gym, African Teak bar, and games area.

The carpeted home cinema also leads off the bar/lounge area and includes a projector and surround sound system.

The home also offers a private work-from-home space on the top level with built-in work countertops, cupboards and floating shelves.

Pam Golding said that the double-volume ceiling and lights create a perfect working environment.

The 5th bedroom on the ground level also has an en-suite bathroom and a private entrance, making it ideal for guests or AIRBNB.

Underneath the outdoor deck is a private flat with an open-plan living area, a full kitchen, and own small yard. The bedroom is large, with built-in cupboards and an en-suite shower.

Other features of the home include:

• 2 x 10 kilowatt Lithium Ion Batteries; 2x 5 Kilowatt Invertors; 27 x 455 Watt Solar Panels
• Smart System, Alarm System, Outside beams
• Water Filtration system
• 1 Tank room
• 8 5000 litre tanks for water storage & pressure pump
• 2 Swimming Pool Pumps
• 1 2500 litre tank for swimming pool backwash
• 2 Extractor fans for the basement

Pam Golding noted that Langebaan, which is only an hour and a half from Cape Town, is a haven for water sports lovers and an internationally acclaimed Ramsar Site for its importance as a wetland.

Often described as the Jewel of the West Coast, the area is known for offering modern living in harmony with nature.

The town is also close to the West Coast Fossil Park, which is home to the oldest known footprint of a human.

The area also has a casino and entertainment area for children at Club Mykonos, golf at the Country Club, horse riding on the beach and a host of other activities.

Shelly Keys, a Pam Golding Properties area manager in the Western Cape, said that Langebaan’s residential property market boomed post-Covid.

Many buyers in the area hail from Gauteng, Cape Town and KZN, and now even South African ex-pats and other overseas buyers,

“Many are working from home or semi-retired and working remotely or opening new businesses,” said Keys.

“These buyers are purchasing family homes, while the more mature are looking at smaller homes, so the demand is for a mix between three-bedroom, three-bathroom homes and four-bedroom homes when they come onto the market.”

“Most buyers are seeking a more balanced lifestyle and here there is less traffic less stress and more outdoor activities.”

The town has grown considerably and now is home to good infrastructure and services. The area is also safe to walk.

There is a day hospital in Langebaan and new malls, and there is a Life Hospital in Vredenburg just 20km away. In terms of schools, there is a Curro, while homeschooling has also seen growth.
