House for sale in Bettys Bay

Set within the UNESCO-protected Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve, Kloof House is an iconic architectural statement that fuses mid-century modern design with the raw beauty of its surroundings. Elevated like a contemporary treehouse, the home's sculptural curves, expansive glazing and refined geometry create a seamless dialogue with the forested kloof and mountain backdrop. Every room frames the ever-changing Disakloof waterfall, offering a living artwork that shifts with season, light and weather.

Designed by architect David Talbot, the home is conceived as a gentle walk through the forest, shaped around the existing tree canopy. A winding internal spine links beautifully proportioned living spaces, including a light-filled lounge, kitchen, library and entertainment deck, while bedrooms open quietly off the pathway, each enjoying uninterrupted mountain views. To the south, more than twenty metres of floor-to-ceiling glazing dissolve the boundary between inside and out, overlooking the natural pool and forest canopy below.

Set on just under 3 000 m² of indigenous fynbos and Boekenhout forest, cradled by the Harold Porter Botanical Gardens, Kloof House offers rare privacy and immersion in nature just moments from swimmable beaches. The main bedroom is a luxurious private suite with its own lounge, dressing area and bathroom, opening onto a deck with sweeping views across mountain kloofs to the sea. With artisanal finishes throughout, a natural swimming pool, wood-fired hot tub, solar power and premium built-in appliances, this is a once-in-a-generation home in Betty's Bay—distinctive, enduring, and deeply connected to place
