Property Description
Sunsets over the Atlantic, the Twelve Apostles at your back and Bakoven beach just a short stroll from your front door , this is everyday life at 60 Rottingdean Road. Tucked into Bakoven, the quiet and sought-after southern end of Camps Bay, the home is only minutes from the restaurants, cafés and buzz of the Camps Bay strip.
The four-bedroom main house is designed to make the most of its setting. The open-plan lounge and dining room open straight out to the private pool and entertainment area, where afternoon sundowners drift into long summer evenings and family gatherings spill outdoors. For quieter moments, the separate TV room is the perfect place to curl up, while the kitchen keeps you at the centre of it all.
What truly sets this home apart is the space it gives everyone. Eight self-contained studios, each with its own bedroom, en-suite bathroom and private entrance ,seven with their own kitchenette , mean grandparents can live close by, older children can enjoy their independence and visiting friends have a place of their own. The whole family under one roof, with room to breathe. Staff accommodation with its own bathrooms adds to the ease of everyday living.
Three garages (a double and a single) plus extra parking up the road give you room for your vehicles and all your toys.
With 12 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, about 500 m² under roof on a 595 m² erf, this freehold home offers a rare combination of size, flexibility and location. It suits a large household, a family that wants separate space for extended family and guests, or a buyer looking to modernise and make it their own. Homes like this in Bakoven seldom come to market.
