About this property

Mountain House is an award-winning private residence designed by celebrated Cape Town architect Chris van Niekerk, set on a 2 200 m² erf in the sought-after, secure enclave of Zwaanswyk. The single-storey home — 350 m² under roof — is sculpted in raw fair-faced concrete and natural stone, sitting lightly on a rocky hillside amid an established indigenous garden of fynbos, ericas and granite boulders.

The home's U-shaped plan wraps a generous sun-drenched terrace and lap pool, with floor-to-ceiling glazing on three sides opening the living spaces directly to the mountain and sky. From inside, uninterrupted panoramas take in Table Mountain, the Constantia Winelands and False Bay — a view confirmed across every living zone and replicated in the pool terrace that cantilevers over the indigenous hillside garden.

Three en-suite bedroom suites, a guest cloakroom, a separate laundry room and a four-bay garage complete the programme. Luxury finishes throughout include travertine-toned stonework, concrete ceilings, wide-format stone-tile floors and bespoke joinery. Off-grid resilience is ensured by solar power and borehole water. Air conditioning and estate-wide security provide year-round comfort and peace of mind.

The property neighbours the Tokai nature preserve (approximately 760 m away) and is moments from Steenberg Golf Estate Restaurant and the acclaimed Bistro Sixteen82 wine farm restaurant. Reddam House Constantia, Steenberg Village Shopping Centre and Constantia Village are all within a short drive.
