Clovelly Property - Real Estate

Situated between Kalk Bay and Fish Hoek, Clovelly is one of Cape Town’s best kept secrets. Clovelly property consists of just over 300 erven. This property in Clovelly has homes on the mountainside, with magnificent sea views across Fish Hoek and towards Noordhoek, and homes in the valley, which are extremely well protected from the wind, especially the Cape’s predominant wind, the South-Easter. Views abound in Clovelly; there are views across the Clovelly Golf Course, the Silvermine wetlands and of the dunes towards Peer’s Cave. There are sea-views of False Bay and Noordhoek and properties with beautiful gardens and large trees. The Fish Hoek beach, with its warmer Indian Ocean waters and many beach and sea-related amenities, is a short walk from Clovelly houses.  It is a relatively easy walk to the top of Trappieskop, (the mountain which protects Clovelly from the South-Easter), and the views of False Bay from the top of Trappieskop are spectacular. For the Golfer there is the convenience of having the Clovelly Golf Course close by and for the nature enthusiast there is the magnificent mountain on your back doorstep, with easy access to hikes up to Echo Valley and the Amphitheatre. Wild-life abounds on the mountainside; apart from the guineafowl and Egyptian geese, which are common throughout Clovelly, you might see the shyer francolin or spot the sugarbirds in the fynbos. In the evening you are sure to come across a porcupine or two and, if you’re lucky, a spotted genet, and of course keep an eye out for tortoises and the leopard toad. A walk up the stone steps, originally laid by fishermen from Kalk Bay, will take you up through the saddle between Trappieskop and the South Silvermine range of mountains, and over into Kalk Bay, with its eclectic mix of delightful shops and top-rated restaurants and it’s ever vibrant and picturesque harbour. Clovelly’s proximity to Fish Hoek means that there is easy access to the shopping, education, business and health amenities found in Fish Hoek.  This Cape Town property in Clovelly has a single entry road, which makes it a quiet and peaceful suburb, without any through-traffic, and families can often be seen taking a walk through the well treed streets to the well laid out paths of the wetlands, donning their back-packs and hiking up the mountain or carrying surf-boards down to the beach.
