Rare opportunity to own an exclusive piece of environmental Cape Coast

An Extraordinary Coastal Retreat and conservation site, situated along the unspoiled south-eastern shoreline of the Cape Peninsula, Partridge Point is a breath-taking 3.2-hectare private estate offering unrivalled natural beauty and tranquillity. Originally part of a 28-hectare farm, this unique property is surrounded by the Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) and has an impressive 1.5 km of rugged coastline. It is a true sanctuary, rich with indigenous flora and fauna, including otters, caracal, baboons, whales, dolphins, and abundant birdlife. Take a look at the spectacular wildlife photos kindly supplied by the property owners. Just a 10-minute drive from Simon’s Town and within easy reach of Cape Town, as well as Cape Point Nature reserve, this property provides the perfect balance between seclusion and accessibility. ________________________________________ Property Background This exceptional property was acquired in 1993. The owners recognised its ecological significance, they facilitated the donation of 90% of the land to SANParks, ensuring its long-term conservation within TMNP. The remaining 3.2 hectares, now available for purchase, offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a private coastal enclave within a protected national park. The land includes one existing dwelling and secured permissions to build three additional environmentally sensitive cottages. Approval has also been obtained to upgrade the access road and essential services. ________________________________________ Ownership Structure & Development Potential Currently, three shareholders hold the remaining property: • Shareholder 1 owns the existing house site and an additional plot. • Shareholder 2 owns another plot. • Shareholder 3 holds the final plot. All four sites are strategically positioned close to the ocean, with breath-taking views of the bay. It has taken nearly 17 years to navigate the conservation process, ensuring this property remains a harmonious extension of the surrounding national park while allowing for a limited, sensitive development. ________________________________________ The Offer • Outright sale of the entire property ________________________________________ Property Overview • Size: 3.2 hectares (previously part of a 28.8-hectare farm) • Location: Positioned below the scenic route from Simon’s Town to Cape Point, within a protected conservation area • Boundaries: Encircled by Table Mountain National Park and bordered by the Indian Ocean • Zoning: Agricultural (situated outside the urban edge within the Cape Peninsula Protected Natural Environment - CPPNE) ________________________________________ Exclusive Features • A True Wilderness Experience: There are no fences separating the private land from TMNP (Table Mountain National Park) allowing for seamless integration with nature. • Marine Reserve: The coastline forms part of a declared marine conservation area, enhancing its ecological value. • Unparalleled Natural Beauty: The landscape includes stunning fynbos, milkwood forests, indigenous thicket, and a rare montane forest. • Cleared of Alien Vegetation: The property has undergone thorough rehabilitation, ensuring its ecological integrity. • Conservation Commitment: The donated portion is legally protected from development and guarantees an uninterrupted coastal walking path. • Rich Wildlife: Home to otters, caracal, and marine life, with panoramic views where whales are frequently spotted in the bay. • Unmatched Seclusion: No visible neighbouring homes or artificial lights disrupt the pristine environment, yet the property is just 15 minutes from Simon’s Town and 40 minutes from Cape Town CBD.
