Nature Meets Opportunity–Swiss Timber Estate in Sir Lowry’s Pass with Proven Income & Scenic Luxury

Swiss Alpine Timber Frame Country Estate in the Heart of Helderberg’s Rural Charm

Welcome to a rare and exceptional lifestyle opportunity, ideally located just 10 minutes from Somerset West Mall and nestled along the scenic N2 highway as it winds toward the iconic Sir Lowry’s Pass. Set in the peaceful village of Sir Lowry’s Pass at the base of the majestic Hottentots Holland mountain range, this remarkable estate lies at the heart of a region rich in equestrian tradition—once home to legends like Graham Beck, who raised championship yearlings on this very land.

Tucked within a serene pine forest and spread across gently sloping hills with panoramic views of the distant ocean at Strand, the estate blends rustic luxury with functional design. The property features several hand-crafted, Swiss-inspired eco timber frame buildings that evoke warmth, comfort, and natural elegance—perfect as a family homestead, boutique guest lodge, or income-generating retreat.

At its core, the estate offers immense versatility. A collection of thoughtfully designed treehouses and timber structures opens the door to multiple entrepreneurial ventures—ranging from equestrian training, animal rescue and eco-education, to wellness retreats, intimate weddings, and rehabilitation programs. A charming outdoor wedding pavilion and expansive lawns add further value for events and gatherings.

Already established as a destination, the estate currently features two fully operational Airbnb cottages with a third easily activated, ensuring immediate income potential. A thriving olive grove with 150 mature trees, ready-to-revive honey hives, and free-range poultry contribute to the property's authentic country charm. There's ample space for organic vegetable gardening, making it a dream for homesteaders and agritourism enthusiasts.

Recreational amenities abound, including tennis courts, lawn cricket, croquet, and a spacious games room with billiard tables. A wine cellar (with a private collection available by separate negotiation) offers indulgence for wine lovers. The property also attracts film producers and is frequently booked for commercial shoots—hosting multiple TV adverts annually and even serving as a backdrop for a documentary film.

Creative minds will appreciate the home cinema, fully equipped music rehearsal and performance space, and a strong connection to local arts and eco-education centers. Horseback trails, hiking paths, and mountain biking routes surround the estate, further enhancing the lifestyle offering.

Sustainable living is prioritized with a borehole, reverse osmosis filtration system, and generators supporting full off-grid functionality. A two-bedroom staff cottage and advanced security systems ensure smooth operation and peace of mind.

Whether you're seeking a private sanctuary, a boutique hospitality venture, or a base for creative and environmental enterprises, this unique estate offers boundless potential—all set against one of Cape Town’s most breathtaking rural backdrops.
