House to rent
Sophisticated Oranjezicht living minutes from Kloof Street and the City Bowl, with private terraces, plunge pool and ocean views — three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, double garage.
Hidden away on one of Oranjzicht’s most exclusive streets, 4B Rugby Road is far more than an exceptional residence; it is a private executive retreat designed for those who appreciate intelligent architecture, uncompromising comfort, and effortless living.
This remarkable multi-level home has been thoughtfully engineered around the way modern professionals live today. Every element has a purpose. Every finish has been carefully considered. Every system has been designed to make life simpler, quieter, and more efficient.
Whether you’re relocating to Cape Town, undertaking a major home renovation, returning from abroad, or simply seeking an extraordinary residence for the next chapter of your life, this home offers a level of quality rarely available on the rental market.
Designed for the Executive Lifestyle
The home immediately creates a sense of calm.
Positioned against the slopes of Table Mountain, it enjoys remarkable privacy while remaining only minutes from the City Bowl, Kloof Street’s renowned restaurants, boutique shopping, leading schools, and Cape Town’s commercial district.
It is a home for someone who values peace without isolation.
Morning walks on the mountain become part of your routine, while dinner reservations and business meetings remain just a short drive away.
This balance between nature and convenience is one of Oranjezicht’s greatest luxuries.
Sophisticated Accommodation
The magnificent master suite occupies one of the home’s most desirable positions.
Opening onto a private terrace with beautiful ocean views, it offers a tranquil sanctuary at the end of each day.
A bespoke walk-in dressing room includes extensive cabinetry together with a thoughtfully integrated tea and coffee station, while the luxurious en-suite bathroom features double vanities and two beautifully designed water-wise showers, each incorporating independent hand showers for enhanced comfort.
On the entrance level, the second bedroom enjoys excellent separation from the primary living areas, creating ideal accommodation for visiting family, adult children, colleagues, or longer-term guests. Complete with built-in cupboards and an en-suite bathroom with shower, basin, and toilet, it offers privacy without compromise and includes a terrace with great views.
On the lowest level, opposite the versatile pyjama lounge and opening directly onto the pool terrace, the third bedroom provides another beautifully appointed en-suite suite. This level offers exceptional flexibility, functioning equally well as luxurious guest accommodation or an independent living space.
Throughout the residence, bespoke cabinetry and carefully integrated storage ensure every space feels both elegant and exceptionally functional.
A Home Designed Around Living
Rather than showcasing appliances, the kitchen celebrates craftsmanship.
Clean architectural lines conceal a carefully curated selection of premium integrated appliances, creating a beautifully understated environment that feels more like bespoke furniture than a traditional kitchen.
Features include:
- Built-in oven
- Built-in microwave
- Induction cooktop with extractor
- Integrated dishwasher
- Double-door refrigerator
- Additional convenience refrigerator
- Extensive concealed storage
The open-plan kitchen flows effortlessly into the expansive dining and living areas, complemented by a separate butler’s kitchen that discreetly conceals the practicalities of everyday cooking while maintaining the home’s refined aesthetic
This is not a home designed for large-scale functions.
Instead, it lends itself perfectly to elegant dinners with close friends, meaningful conversations around the dining table, and weekends shared with family.
Large double-glazed sliding windows maximise natural light while framing spectacular mountain and ocean views, creating a seamless relationship between the interior and its remarkable surroundings.
A second informal lounge on the lower entertainment level offers exceptional versatility. Whether used as a private television lounge, executive home office, wellness studio or gym, the space easily adapts to its owner’s lifestyle.
Intelligent Comfort
One of the home’s most remarkable features is something you’ll hardly notice.
Throughout the home, hydronic underfloor heating provides a luxurious layer of comfort, distributing consistent radiant warmth across every room. The result is a naturally comfortable living environment without the need for visible heating elements.
A separate hydronic heating and cooling system has been installed throughout the residence to provide year-round climate control. Using heated or chilled water circulated through concealed pipework and integrated panels, the system maintains a comfortable indoor environment with remarkable efficiency, minimal noise, and without the drafts typically associated with conventional air-conditioning systems.
The result is whisper-quiet, highly efficient comfort without the visual impact or noise associated with traditional air-conditioning units.
Built for the Future
Sustainability is not an afterthought; it is fundamental to the home’s design.
Extensive solar infrastructure, intelligent energy management, and a private borehole allow the property to operate largely off-grid, significantly reducing dependence on municipal utilities while delivering outstanding resilience during periods of infrastructure disruption.
Filtered borehole water supplies the home, while sophisticated energy systems dramatically reduce electricity consumption.
For a tenant accustomed to running a substantial executive residence, these systems provide not only environmental benefits but also meaningful operational savings.
This is luxury with intelligence.
Outdoor Living
The landscaped garden creates a peaceful extension of the home’s interior.
A stylish plunge pool provides the perfect setting for relaxed afternoons, while the surrounding terraces invite quiet entertaining rather than large gatherings.
The atmosphere is private, understated and beautifully connected to the natural landscape.
Security, Technology & Convenience
Designed to support a lock-up-and-go lifestyle without compromising comfort, the home incorporates an exceptional range of modern conveniences.
Features include:
- Lift servicing all of the home’s levels
- Secure lift access via code or keycard
- Home automation systems
- Advanced security with camera surveillance
- Double automated garage
- Electric vehicle charging capability
- Dedicated solar and utility plant room
- Separate laundry facilities
- Staff accommodation
- Extensive integrated storage throughout
The property forms part of a well-managed environment where much of the external maintenance and security oversight is professionally managed, allowing residents to focus entirely on enjoying the home.
Offered Partly Furnished
The residence is available partly furnished, providing immediate comfort while allowing flexibility for tenants who wish to incorporate their own furniture and personal style.
For international relocations or executive transfers, the home offers an effortless turnkey solution. Equally, those bringing selected furnishings can tailor the residence to suit their individual requirements.
Included Within the Rental
The rental has been structured to simplify everyday living.
Included are:
- High-speed unlimited fibre internet
- Garden maintenance
- The landlord will cover routine property maintenance through the builder/contractor warranty, and the landlord's own handyman.
- Ongoing servicing of the solar installation
The property benefits from an extensive solar and battery system that offsets a significant portion of the home’s electricity consumption, meaning electricity costs are typically lower than those of a comparable home without solar. Tenants are billed only for electricity drawn from the municipal grid. This also applies to water consumption as well, and all other municipal costs, which are for the tenants' account.
A Rare Opportunity
Properties of this calibre are seldom offered to the rental market.
4B Rugby Road will appeal to discerning professionals, corporate executives, international relocations, and mature tenants seeking a residence that reflects their lifestyle, private, sophisticated, environmentally conscious, and exceptionally well designed.
It is not simply a luxury home.
It is a residence designed for people who value architecture, technology, sustainability and the quiet confidence that comes with living exceptionally well.
Pets may be considered on application and are subject to the Landlord’s prior written approval, which may be granted or withheld at the Landlord’s sole discretion.
