Enjoy relaxed country-style living in elevated Chatsworth with wide countryside views and dual road frontage; insulated 2-bed, 1-bath home plus adaptable extended space for future use.
Elevated Corner Property with Space, Views and Practical Potential
There is a reason more buyers are starting to look beyond the congestion and rising costs of Cape Town and toward areas like Chatsworth.
Positioned on one of the higher-lying corner properties in Chatsworth, this 892m2 property offers space, elevation, views and a practical starting point for buyers wanting a quieter country-style lifestyle within reach of Cape Town, Malmesbury, Atlantis, Durbanville and surrounding areas.
Situated approximately 15km from Malmesbury, Chatsworth offers a rural residential setting with access via the N7 and surrounding backroad routes. The area continues to attract buyers looking for more space, less congestion, cleaner air and a more relaxed day-to-day pace, while still remaining within realistic commuting distance of major surrounding centres.
The property occupies a prominent corner position with dual road frontage, giving it excellent flexibility for future use. Depending on a purchaser’s requirements, the layout may lend itself to various possibilities, including extended family living, work-from-home use, additional parking, garden space, outdoor living areas or future improvements.
The main dwelling is constructed from insulated panel sections and comprises 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a lounge, separate kitchen and pantry/scullery. The insulated construction assists with temperature regulation, helping the home remain cooler during the hot West Coast summers and warmer during winter.
An extended section of the home has not yet been fully completed, offering scope for a purchaser to adapt the space to suit their needs. This section may lend itself to additional accommodation, entertainment space, a work-from-home area, hobby room or other practical uses.
An additional timber structure is currently situated on the property and is presently occupied under a private arrangement. The structure may provide flexibility for storage, workshop, hobby, studio or similar uses, depending on a purchaser’s requirements.
Chatsworth continues to benefit from ongoing infrastructure improvements, including upgraded roads within the area, public transport access to surrounding towns and Cape Town, and continued investment into local community facilities. The Chatsworth Clinic and Chatsworth AME Primary School have both seen significant upgrades in recent years, contributing to the steady growth and long-term appeal of the area.
At the same time, the area still retains what many people feel has been lost in urban life: open skies, surrounding countryside views, quieter streets and a stronger sense of community.
One of the things residents regularly speak about is the difference in day-to-day living compared to the city. Whether dealing with municipal offices, shopping in Malmesbury, visiting Home Affairs, or simply interacting with neighbours and local businesses, there is still a genuine sense of friendliness, helpfulness and community that many people feel has disappeared from larger urban areas.
The property is positioned within an established section of Chatsworth, surrounded by ongoing residential development and improving homes, while still offering space and openness that is becoming increasingly difficult to find closer to Cape Town.
Key features:
This is a property for buyers who value space, elevation, flexibility and the slower pace of country-style living, without being completely removed from the towns and routes that matter.
