Cape Town’s wild fringe
At the far tip of the South Peninsula, just before the road curves toward Cape Point, lies one of Cape Town’s most extraordinary private tracts of land – Partridge Point, a coastal property for sale unlike any other. From its slopes, the world drops away into the shimmering expanse of False Bay, stretching all the way to Hangklip and Pringle Bay. Behind it rises the fynbos-clad wild of the Table Mountain National Park; ahead, only ocean and sky.
There is not another house or light in sight – just the sound of waves breaking below and the cry of seabirds on the wind. Yet you are only 12 minutes from Simon’s Town and 40 minutes from Cape Town CBD, with Smitswinkel Bay just around the bend. As beachfront land for sale goes, we think this is pretty jolly perfect!
A legacy of conservation
Nearly 35 years ago, the owning family were captivated by this wild stretch of coastline and acquired the original 28,8-hectare property. Over the decades, they worked closely with South African National Parks (SANParks) to protect its exceptional natural value. After 17 years of negotiation, 90% of Partridge Point was formally donated to SANParks for incorporation into the Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) – safeguarding it in perpetuity.
The remaining 3,2 hectares form a private enclave surrounded by TMNP, allowing wildlife free passage between mountain and sea. It’s a model of private stewardship and public conservation working hand in hand – a sanctuary where nature remains unbroken.
Where the wild things still roam
This is a place alive with movement and sound. Cape clawless otters play along the rocks in front of the house. Caracal and Cape grysbok pad silently through thickets, while baboons, mongoose and the occasional porcupine wander the slopes. Offshore, whales breach in the bay, dolphins surf the swells and Cape fur seals drift in the kelp beds.
Above, the skies are alive with raptors, cormorants, and sugarbirds flitting through flowering proteas. Every inch of land feels ancient and untouched – milkwood forest, indigenous thicket, montane fynbos and rare coastal vegetation all coexisting in perfect balance.
Looking into the future
On this pristine land, Partridge Point holds permission for four environmentally sensitive cottages – including the existing original dwelling. Each is carefully positioned to preserve privacy, views and the integrity of the landscape.
Architectural plans allow for low-impact homes designed to blend into the terrain – think natural stone, timber and glass. Access and services have been approved, and all environmental and planning authorisations are valid until June 2027.
The remaining wilderness will remain free of fences, a continuation of the Table Mountain National Park itself. Future custodians will share a covenant of conservation – ensuring that this extraordinary place remains wild, unspoiled and deeply respected.
Untouched, yet within reach
Despite its seclusion, Partridge Point is perfectly positioned. Simon’s Town lies just 12 minutes away, with its yacht basin, cafés and dive shops – the same coastline where My Octopus Teacher was filmed. To the north, Cape Town awaits; to the south, the fynbos mountain slopes roll toward Cape Point Nature Reserve.
This is the South Peninsula at its most elemental – rugged, restorative and rare. It’s where coastal living meets wilderness, where luxury means privacy, purity and the privilege of space.
An heirloom of land and light
Partridge Point is far more than a Cape Town coastal property for sale. It’s an extraordinary opportunity to become custodian of one of the last privately held stretches of the Cape’s wild coastline – a place where conservation, beauty and solitude coexist.
Few properties hold such integrity of landscape or legacy of care. This is land for those who value stillness, light and the infinite horizon – for those who understand that the truest luxury is wilderness itself.
