Celtic Castle - Self-Sufficient Mountainside Estate, Gordon's Bay

Set on a private 1-hectare smallholding (Portion 19 of Farm Firlands 923) in the exclusive Emoyeni Home Owners Association estate (1 of 6 properties), this striking castle-style residence commands sweeping 360-degree views across False Bay, the Steenbras Hydroelectric Dam and the Hottentots Holland Mountains - a rare blend of medieval-inspired architecture, modern luxury, and genuine self-sufficiency.

Main Residence - 734m²
Three storeys deliver 6 bedrooms (4 luxurious en-suites, 2 sharing a full bathroom) plus a ground-floor guest toilet - 5.5 bathrooms in total. A grand foyer with spiral staircase opens onto a formal lounge, a gourmet V-shaped kitchen with granite counters and separate scullery, and a recreation room with built-in bar and wood-burning fireplace. From there, an expansive wooden deck overlooks a rock-feature pool, a stream-fed pond, manicured lawns with jungle gym, and entertaining space for up to 50 guests. A versatile playroom (office/library) and guest cloakroom complete the home.

Second Dwelling - 94m²
A separate two-storey cottage with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, its own open-plan kitchen, lounge, dining area and fireplace - currently operating as a 3-bedroom Airbnb, ideal for extended family or rental income.

Plus a 78m² double garage - bringing total floor space across both dwellings to 906m², with 8 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms combined.

Self-Sufficient and Secure
The estate is largely energy and water independent: a 14.4kW lithium-ion battery bank with 10.8kW solar inverter and panels (cutting electricity costs by up to 80%), a high-yield 15,000L borehole, 20,000L water storage with reverse-osmosis filtration, solar water heating, and Eskom power retained as backup. The full perimeter is electrified-ready and monitored by 24/7 security, with the area recording no crime incidents over the past 20 years. A vegetable and spice garden offers further scope toward full smallholding self-sufficiency.

Zoning and Location
Agriculturally zoned with an exemption under Section 1(f) of the Subdivision of Agricultural Land Act 70 of 1970, offering flexibility uncommon to smallholdings of this kind. Minutes from the N2, Gordon's Bay harbour and Bikini Beach, with Somerset Mall, the Helderberg wine route and Cape Town International Airport all within a 40-minute drive.

A true legacy property for buyers seeking privacy, sustainability, and scale.
