Modern Coastal Living | Harbour Area

There is something wonderfully effortless about life in Stilbaai’s Harbour Area.

Set on a generous corner stand in one of Stilbaai West’s most sought-after neigbourhoods, this beautifully designed 259 m² residence offers a sophisticated take on relaxed coastal living. Just approximately 200 metres from the Goukou River estuary, the home combines contemporary architecture, generous proportions and thoughtfully considered spaces designed around the way we love to live by the coast.

From the moment you enter, the home feels spacious, light and inviting. Two separate entrances open into the expansive living and dining areas, creating a natural sense of flow and an effortless connection between the various living spaces.

At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen is both stylish and highly functional. Granite worktops, abundant soft-close cabinetry, a central island, electric hob and extractor, two eye-level ovens and a separate preparation basin make this a kitchen designed as much for entertaining as everyday family life.

A discreetly positioned scullery keeps the practical elements tucked away, while providing convenient access to the covered outdoor braai area.

The living spaces are equally well suited to long summer evenings and cooler winter days. An indoor braai creates an inviting gathering point, while an imported Italian wood-burning stove with an integrated oven brings warmth, atmosphere and an additional cooking option to the home.

Upstairs, the mood becomes more private. A second lounge opens onto the expansive covered balcony — a wonderfully versatile space for morning coffee, afternoon sundowners or simply slowing down and taking in the surroundings.

The main bedroom enjoys direct access to the balcony and offers generous built-in cupboards together with a beautifully appointed full en-suite bathroom. A luxurious bath, spacious shower, basin and toilet create a calm, considered retreat.

A second upstairs bedroom is also en-suite, while a third bedroom and family bathroom are conveniently positioned on the ground floor — ideal for family living or accommodating guests.

The covered balcony is undoubtedly one of the home's most appealing spaces. Protected from the elements and designed for outdoor living, it extends the home beautifully and offers a relaxed backdrop for entertaining or simply enjoying the easy pace of coastal life.

Outside, the fully enclosed property delivers exceptional practicality. Two separate entrances provide access to two carports and an automated double garage, while additional secure parking behind the gates offers ample room for extra vehicles, a boat or other leisure equipment — a particularly valuable feature given the home's proximity to the river and harbour.

Thoughtful security features include security doors, shutters and burglar bars, while an impressive water-storage system adds another layer of self-sufficiency. Six 800-litre tanks, a 2,500-litre tank and an additional 1,000-litre tank provide substantial water storage, complemented by a filtration system.

This is a home that strikes a rare balance between modern living and genuine practicality, close to the ocean.

A home to settle into, entertain from, and enjoy for years to come.
