Where Ocean Horizons Meet Effortless Coastal Living 8 Benning Drive Kommetjie, 西ケープ 7975 南アフリカ

This striking Kommetjie home offers a rare combination of privacy, naturally protected position, thoughtful design and far-reaching coastal views across the breathtaking Atlantic ocean. Stretching across to Chapman’s Peak and the surrounding mountains, the setting delivers a remarkable vista that changes with the light throughout the day. The residence unfolds across three generous levels, designed to make the most of its position, natural light and relaxed coastal atmosphere. Its north-facing aspect brings warmth into the living spaces, while the home’s location offers welcome shelter from Cape Town’s prevailing winds, allowing outdoor areas and terraces to be enjoyed comfortably in every season. At the centre of the home is the middle level, where the main living spaces flow together in an open and welcoming layout. The lounge and dining area connect seamlessly with the imported Nobilia kitchen from Germany, creating a social space that feels both refined and relaxed. A fireplace provides a natural focal point and adds warmth during cooler evenings, while the surrounding windows and doors frame the ocean views beyond. A study is also located on this level, offering a quiet and light-filled space for working from home. Upstairs, a separate TV lounge creates an additional living area that works perfectly as a family retreat or informal relaxation space, all while enjoying the surrounding scenery. Underfloor heating has been installed in every bathroom, the upstairs TV lounge, the mid-level study and guest cloakroom, as well as in the flatlet below, ensuring comfort throughout the colder months. The home includes a number of carefully considered design features that add character and individuality. A distinctive steel rib staircase with bamboo treads links the three levels, while hand-blown glass pendant lights made in Swaziland introduce a unique artisan touch. Bamboo-clad Geberit installations continue the natural design aesthetic, alongside a custom CNC-crafted wine rack that incorporates a cleverly concealed liquor cabinet. Outdoor living is an important part of the home’s appeal. Wide terraces create inviting spaces for entertaining or relaxing while taking in the views, and a north-facing splash pool together with an outdoor shower adds to the easy coastal lifestyle. The property has recently been repainted both inside and out in its original colour palette, maintaining its fresh and understated coastal feel. Additional practical features include a triple garage, a full PV solar system and gas water heating, while the original electric and solar systems remain in place. A self-contained flatlet with kitchen and bathroom offers flexibility for guests, extended family or rental use. An absolutely gorgeous solid French oak dining table, handcrafted by Pierre Cronje, is available as an option. Homes in this position in Kommetjie are seldom available. This property offers an opportunity to enjoy a distinctive coastal home where considered design, comfort and extraordinary views come together in a setting that feels both peaceful and inspiring.
