Cape Town city living has its perks, but there’s a great deal to be said for adventuring into the Deep South.

There doesn’t seem to be a consensus about when you’ve actually crossed over the so-called ‘lentil curtain’, with some saying Noordhoek qualifies, whilst others point to Kommetjie as a starting point, but you’re definitely good once you hit Scarborough.

You also get serious bang for your buck property-wise out yonder, with that view above greeting you from the balcony of a four-bedroom, R12 million beaut listed on Pam Golding.

In fact, for that price, you’re actually getting a double act:

This magnificent architecturally designed house nestled in a wind sheltered corner of Scarborough mountainside, has been cleverly split into 2 separate sectional titled units.

There is also the possibility of purchasing the piece of vacant land adjacent to the property should you wish to expand further.

Both units of the sectional title scheme boast outstanding sea views and have great indoor outdoor flow with living areas leading to balconies and outdoor spaces.

The lower level apartment is a one-bedroom en suite apartment with a lounge and dining area.

The second sectional title unit comprises the two top levels of the building.

It has a large lounge with a fire place and decks all around for maximum entertainment and chillout spaces alike. The garden is something quite special with its tranquil setting and pool area overlooking the sea…

Upstairs you will find two further bedrooms with magnificent views and a good sense of space. There is a dressing room off one of these rooms.

On the first floor, there’s a kitchen which leads to the pool, and the level also has a pantry, and a bedroom/study.

A few more quick snaps:

The full listing, which you can find here, has 63 photos in total, if you’re after more.

I’m not sure if it’s a requirement to live in Scarborough, but it’s worth honing your kombucha-making skills ahead of a move to the area anyway.
