Residential vacant land for sale in Somerset West

Exceptional Development Opportunity – 1.48 HA erf Somerset West
Set high on the exclusive slopes of Bakkershoogte / Steenbras View, this exceptionally large erf offers a rare opportunity to secure one of the finest view sites in the Helderberg. With sweeping mountain panoramas and uninterrupted sea views, it presents the perfect canvas for a visionary developer, strategic investor, or buyer seeking to create a landmark private residence.
Framed by the majestic Helderberg Mountains and overlooking the sparkling waters of False Bay, the setting is both dramatic and serene. The elevated position ensures privacy, space, and a sense of exclusivity rarely found so close to key amenities.
A standout feature is the existing dam on the property — a valuable and unique asset. For an outdoor enthusiast or estate developer, this creates exciting possibilities: landscaped gardens, waterside entertainment areas, eco-conscious design, or a tranquil lifestyle retreat centred around nature.
