“This is not just a home but a sanctuary”

Nestled at the pinnacle of Higgovale, beneath the iconic Table Mountain and directly adjacent to the Table Mountain National Park, House Wabi Sabi is an architectural masterpiece that harmoniously blends contemporary luxury with the serenity of its natural surroundings. Designed by the acclaimed architect Johan Slee, this residence is a testament to meticulous design, exceptional craftsmanship, and unparalleled attention to detail.

Boasting an expansive layout of approximately 850m² under roof and 400m² of outdoor entertainment areas, the property offers an extraordinary lifestyle in one of Cape Town’s most prestigious locations.

Spanning three levels, House Wabi Sabi is designed to optimize both functionality and aesthetics. The internal spaces are thoughtfully divided, with half dedicated to living areas, a quarter to private bedrooms and bathrooms and the remainder to essential services such as storage, a quad garage, and a wine cellar. Outdoor entertainment takes centre stage with seven patios and decks, each crafted with luxurious bamboo and cedar finishes, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.

The home’s living areas exude sophistication, with high ceilings, engineered oak flooring, and open-plan reception rooms that flow effortlessly into the outdoor spaces. A striking gallery-style entranceway sets the tone for the home’s elegance, leading visitors into an open-plan expanse framed by panoramic views and abundant natural light.

Seven terraced patios and decks offer breathtaking spaces for relaxation or hosting gatherings. A koi pond and expansive splash pool add a serene ambiance, while the gym and sauna provide wellness at home. Connoisseurs will revel in the 2,400-bottle capacity wine cellar, designed to impress and preserve collections in optimal conditions. The state-of-the-art Bulthaup kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line Gaggenau appliances, including an induction hob, conventional and steam ovens, and a wine cooler. The adjoining scullery and laundry room ensure seamless functionality.

The property offers four distinctive bedrooms ensuring comfort and privacy for family members and guests alike. A luxurious en-suite bedroom with direct access to the landscaped garden and outdoor areas. The pièce de résistance of this space is the imported Japanese Ofuro bath, offering a tranquil and restorative bathing experience. A flexible layout accommodates either two en-suite bedrooms or one en-suite bedroom with an adjoining sitting/TV room and a separate bathroom, ideal for family living. A double-level retreat perfect for guests or teenagers, featuring a private kitchenette and sweeping views of the garden and mountain vistas.

House Wabi Sabi is as robust as it is beautiful, with high-quality finishes and cutting-edge infrastructure designed to cater to every need. The property’s lush garden, designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings, features over 200 trees, including native and exotic species such as banyan, wild olive, yellowwood, and maple. The landscaping is not only visually stunning but also sustainable, with features that reflect a commitment to eco-friendly living.

With its unparalleled location in Higgovale, architectural pedigree, and extraordinary features, House Wabi Sabi represents a rare opportunity to own one of Cape Town’s finest residences. This is not just a home but a sanctuary, perfectly poised between the vibrant city bowl and the untouched beauty of Table Mountain.
