Bella Vista is a luxurious and successfully run self-catering home positioned along Hermanus's iconic Marine Drive. Long favoured by artists and writers, the area now stands out for its extraordinary location. Set directly across from Rabie’s Pools, this is a position few properties are privileged to enjoy. A vantage point overlooking nature’s stage where uninterrupted sea views, lush greenery, endless skies, and mountains form a dramatic backdrop - creating a setting that is as rare as it is remarkable. Opportunities for this level of position and lifestyle investment are exceptionally scarce.

The upper level is the true showpiece, where sweeping ocean views frame the lounge and dining area. At its heart is a sleek stainless-steel indoor braai, which effortlessly transforms into a cosy fireplace on cooler evenings. Adding to the appeal, the upstairs kitchen ensures seamless entertaining without trips to the main kitchen below, and can just as easily serve as a stylish wine or cocktail bar for hosting gatherings. From the lounge, the balcony gracefully circles from the front to a designated outdoor braai room at the back. This then flows naturally back into the home to create a seamless entertainer's layout. A convenient guest toilet is easily accessible from the living areas. Two ensuite bedrooms complete this magnificent space—one tucked at the back with a private Juliet balcony, and the main suite opening directly onto the front balcony with uninterrupted panoramic ocean views.

The ground floor is warm and inviting, with a centrally located lounge and dining area that flows into an open-plan kitchen with its own separate scullery. Three well-appointed ensuite bedrooms provide comfort and privacy—one opening onto the front porch, and another with its own private entrance at the back. A discreetly positioned laundry and guest toilet complete the functional layout, while the storage space under the stairs offers potential to be converted into a wine cellar.

Inside, every detail reflects quality and thoughtful curation. High-end furnishings complement timeless finishes, with granite countertops and other elegant touches featured throughout the home. Recent maintenance has been carried out, ensuring that the property is ready for its new owner to enjoy lasting style and comfort.

The garden combines a neat lawn with a landscaped indigenous fynbos section that requires little upkeep, flowing naturally toward the street where it meets the greenbelt and the acclaimed Rabie’s Pool—a tidal pool perfect for swimming, fishing or seafood harvesting. This coastal lifestyle is further complemented by a rustic yet charming firepit and outdoor shower set along the side of the home.

For peace of mind, security is on point with an alarm system and outdoor beams. Retractable burglar bars on the doors and several windows, provide added security when you’re away, while still allowing open views and a sense of freedom when you’re at home. On the sustainability front, a solar inverter with battery backup ensures reliable power and energy efficiency, while gas stoves add everyday convenience.

This isn’t just a property—it’s a lifestyle. Just steps from the sea, with whales breaching at your doorstep and long summer evenings to share with friends, Bella Vista stands as one of Hermanus’s finest offerings.
