5 Bedroom House for Sale in Cutty Sark

Modern Masterpiece in the Heights of Cutty Sark

SOLE MANDATE

Beyond a hibiscus-lined wall, an automatic gate reveals this contemporary palace. You park in the two-car garage with built-in shelving, then step through grand wooden double doors flanked by frosted glass catching afternoon light, into a tiled foyer where high ceilings and rich wood doors set a sophisticated tone for the home.

You decide whether to ascend to the main living level via the integrated lift or climb the staircase beneath a striking modern chandelier that scatters dappled light across walls primed for artistic expression. The main floor opens like a breath of fresh air, daylight spilling through skylights across the open-plan dining area and lounge, where a built-in indoor braai anchors the space and stacking glass doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. Step onto the angled-edge balcony with glass balustrades to experience one of Plettenberg Bay’s most extraordinary panoramas — the shimmering curve of the coastline, the Keurbooms River winding through the emerald valley, and the misty Tsitsikamma Mountains stretching toward infinity. Facing northeast, the view captures spectacular sunrises and enjoys warm light throughout the day. A dining alcove on this balcony feels almost suspended — enclosed in glass for an all-weather vista, or opened wide to let the sea breeze drift in, turning every meal into an immersive experience.

Back inside, you pass a second, view-wrapped lounge with a wood-burning fireplace and elegant glass shelving, and arrive at the kitchen, where black granite countertops meet refined oak-look cabinetry and a walk-in pantry. The line-up of cooking options feels almost orchestral, with five gas hobs, two induction plates, an oven, and even a built-in kitchen grill, while the scullery is tucked discreetly away — provisioned for all major appliances, including laundry, and opening to a drying balcony with exterior stairs.

Beyond the braai lounge, you pass a guest cloakroom and arrive at the executive study, stretched wide with book-lined cabinetry that also conceals a large safe behind polished wood. Through this lies the master suite, where geometric walls with sweeping windows create a sense of architectural grandeur, and glass doors open onto the balcony, framing panoramic views that shift with the day. A spacious dressing room and ensuite bathroom complete the space, featuring dual sinks, a luxurious tub, and a separate toilet and bidet.

On the lower level are four additional bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, one of which stands as a master in its own right. A dining area and kitchenette flow through stacking glass to a covered porch that mirrors the balcony above and shares the same breathtaking views. Dual staircases descend to the walled and softly lit backyard, where a green lawn bordered by lush gardens frames the space in privacy. Tucked beneath the house lies a surprise — a garage door opening to a spacious, versatile room with the potential to serve as a workshop, hobby studio, or even an entertainment den.

Throughout the home, every system hums with intention. Fourteen solar panels power the entire property, supported by three geysers, strategically placed air conditioning, underfloor heating, and filtered water throughout, providing comfort in every season. Three rain tanks connected to automatic sprinklers are dedicated to irrigation, an exterior loo provides convenient access to facilities, while beam cams and a comprehensive alarm system ensure complete peace of mind.

Located in the lofty and sophisticated suburb of Cutty Sark, this modern masterpiece lies within walking distance of town and just a five-minute drive to Plettenberg Bay’s famous beaches — close enough to enjoy all the vibrance of town life, yet high enough to feel worlds apart.
