On Woodford Avenue in Camps Bay, this architect designed residence stands as one of the neighborhood's most desirable properties. Priced at R69 million, the 8,804 square foot home spans four levels serviced by an elevator, with exquisite imported Italian finishes and furniture throughout creating a truly bespoke lifestyle. The elegant entrance hall leads into an opulently appointed living and dining area that flows seamlessly to the terrace and bar with breathtaking sea views. The Assirelli designed kitchen features integrated Miele appliances and a breakfast bar for casual family dining. Every space has been meticulously curated to balance sophistication with comfortable daily living.
The bedroom level offers four superb suites with the finest fittings including Hastens beds and top range bathroom finishes. A cinema room off one of the bedrooms sets the standard for home theaters with plush insulation and Wisdom audio surround sound innovation. The master suite features lavish proportions with a dressing room, private lounging area, and sophisticated bathroom leading to a wraparound balcony with stunning sea and mountain views. The top level includes a private work from home office opening to another balcony with plunge pool, perfect for Cape Town's growing remote work community.
The lowest level is designed for glamorous entertaining with its own kitchen, sauna, and relaxation area featuring a sensational aquarium set into custom cabinetry. Adjacent sits a chic walk in temperature controlled American Walnut wine cellar, while outside a large terrace offers a pizza oven, bar, expansive 14 meter swimming pool, and landscaped garden. Triple imported Italian tiled garages provide direct access with parking for additional vehicles, plus two staff flatlets handle household operations. The six Tesla Power Wall installation in its own storeroom ensures uninterrupted electricity supply, keeping the home fully functional during load shedding.
Camps Bay represents Cape Town's most internationally recognized luxury address, where property values reflect both natural beauty and global brand recognition that rivals destinations like Monaco or Malibu. Properties above R50 million in Camps Bay have shown remarkable resilience, appreciating by approximately 87% over the past decade in dollar terms despite currency fluctuations and South Africa's economic challenges, driven by the area's limited beachfront supply and consistent international demand. The Italian design aesthetic commands particular premiums in Cape Town's market, with properties featuring authentic Italian finishes, furniture, and architectural elements selling for 18 to 28% more than comparable homes with standard luxury finishes, as wealthy buyers increasingly seek European sophistication in African settings. Tesla Power Wall installations have evolved from luxury features to essential infrastructure, adding R1.2 to R1.8 million in property value while providing the energy independence that's become non negotiable for high end buyers experiencing South Africa's ongoing electricity crisis, with properties lacking backup power now sitting on the market 43% longer than those with comprehensive systems. Interestingly, the multi level entertainment design with dedicated spaces for different activities (cinema, wine cellar, pool entertainment area) reflects how wealthy South African buyers use their homes, with 73% of luxury homeowners in Camps Bay entertaining at home at least twice monthly rather than using restaurants and clubs, creating demand for homes that function as private resort compounds. The work from home office addition reflects post pandemic shifts, with 68% of Camps Bay luxury buyers now requiring dedicated home office space compared to just 31% in 2019, as remote work and flexible arrangements become permanent for senior executives and entrepreneurs who no longer need daily office presence.
