Overlooking the eastern slopes of Table Mountain and the world-famous Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, the precinct of Hen-and-Chicken in Upper Claremont draws its name from the shape of a mountaintop rock formation that can be glimpsed from this prestigious neighbourhood. Peaceful tree-lined verges conceal generous family homes that are as sought after for their sun-soaked north-facing aspect as they are for their privacy and superb location in this enclave adjacent to Bishopscourt.
Life here combines leafy serenity with the conveniences of contemporary urban living. Most of Cape Town’s very finest schools are within a few minutes’ reach, as are the V&A Waterfront, the City Centre and excellent hospitals. The city’s glorious beaches, hiking and biking trails, superb restaurants, and the wine estates of the Constantia Valley are all at your fingertips.
