DUAL MANDATE

This exclusive Rooiels riverfront property is one of those rare finds that exists in an entirely different category. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity positioned where the mountains watch the river meet the sea. Exclusive. Scarce. Unrepeatable.

Set on one of the most unique and tightly held positions along the Cape Whale Coast, this double-storey coastal property offers an exceptionally scarce combination of direct river frontage, sweeping ocean views, dramatic mountain scenery, and unforgettable sunsets that rank amongst the most spectacular in the world.

Early mornings in Rooiels carry a kind of quiet grandeur that is difficult to describe until you experience it for yourself. As first light moves across the river and the ocean air drifts in fresh and cool, the layered mountains slowly reveal themselves in soft shades of blue, silver, and green. The stillness, the scent of fynbos, the birdlife, and the ever-changing natural beauty create the kind of start to the day that reminds you why this stretch of coastline is considered one of the Western Cape’s hidden treasures.

As evening settles over Rooiels, the sky transforms into layers of gold, amber, crimson, and deep violet reflected across the river and ocean — the kind of sunset experience that leaves visitors speechless and residents endlessly grateful they get to witness it from home.

This home is thoughtfully designed across two separate levels, each offering separate entrances with its own kitchen, two bedrooms, and bathroom. The layout creates excellent flexibility for dual living, extended family stays, income-generating accommodation, or simply enjoying the freedom of separate spaces while surrounded by one of South Africa’s most extraordinary natural settings. Each level of the home enjoys its own wooden deck. Upstairs, the elevated deck captures breath-taking panoramic views across the mountains, river, and ocean. The main bedroom opens directly onto this deck through stacker doors, while the living area also connects seamlessly to the same space.

Adding to the appeal is an extra-length single garage with separate access, ideal for storing outdoor gear, kayaks, fishing equipment, or simply allowing extra workspace and storage flexibility often appreciated in coastal living. True to the South African lifestyle, the property also features two outside braai areas — one for each level of living — creating natural gathering spaces for long summer evenings, relaxed entertaining, and fireside meals enjoyed against the backdrop of river, mountain, and ocean views. Whether you call it braaing or barbecuing, this is part of the rhythm of life here. A small splash pool adds another layer of charm and practicality — perfect for a refreshing cold-water dip after a morning walk or swim, or simply rinsing off sandy feet after time spent at the nearby beach.

Positioned at the end of the internationally renowned Clarence Drive — often regarded as one of the most scenic coastal drives in the world — Rooiels has quietly become a highly sought-after destination amongst local and international travellers, investors, nature enthusiasts, and buyers searching for exclusivity along the Western Cape coastline.

This small and exclusive coastal village remains untouched by overdevelopment and offers a peculiar charm that is increasingly difficult to find. Surrounded by protected natural beauty, mountains, fynbos, rivers, and ocean, the village feels worlds away from the rush of modern life, while still remaining conveniently close to restaurants, cafés, and essential amenities within approximately 20 kilometres.

Exclusive properties in Rooiels are exceptionally limited, and prime riverfront homes with ocean and mountain views are even rarer still. For the discerning buyer searching for a truly unique Cape Whale Coast property with international appeal, this is an opportunity that stands apart completely. Very few properties in Rooiels enjoy this kind of river setting. Only a handful of homes occupy these coveted front-row positions, making this offering extraordinarily rare.
