Nestled within the esteemed Bishopscourt neighbourhood, Villa Camphor stands as a captivating residence that redefines the art of opulent living in perfect harmony with nature. Embrace the rare opportunity to own an exquisite luxury home, uniquely designed to blend seamlessly with its natural environs. Here, you will be welcomed by the regal embrace of fabulous mature trees, including Outeniqua Yellowwood, Camphor and Liquid Amber trees. These venerable trees exude an ageless elegance, bestowing established serenity throughout the ever-shifting seasons.
Renowned architect Gerd Weideman has provided inspirational modern design, resulting in a home that harmoniously blends with the surrounding landscape. Spacious and thoughtful design incorporating breathtaking views, this home boasts an array of modern amenities and features that cater to your every desire.
Originally Dutch explorer Jan van Riebeeck’s farm “Boscheuvel”, the Mother City’s most affluent suburb became “Bishops Court” in 1851 when it was purchased by Robert Gray, the first bishop of Cape Town. Now home to a small curation of staggering mountainside residences, modern-day Bishopscourt is a shaded sanctuary where serenity and safety reign.
As if bursting from the ground, the sky balancing on its shoulders, Table Mountain dominates every vista. Nature is a veritable resident in the home, more than just a mere feature. With Devil’s Peak and Skeleton Gorge waterfalls in plain sight underpinned by Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, you are engulfed by an artwork of dense foliage.
Here you’ll experience a world within a world. At last, home.
WORLD OF DESIGN: Embracing clean line geometry which creates a sense of order and structure, Villa Camphor’s design embodies the Modernist philosophy. A rational use of materials like glass, timber slats, stone and concrete brought to life through structural innovation and the elimination of fussy ornament culminates in an impressive yet soothing aesthetic. Feature wooden slats soften the façade adding warmth and sophistication to the homes while creating rhythm and subtle aesthetic volumes.
THE WORLD INSIDE: Window walls flood the interior with an abundance of natural light, unhindered views helping blur the line between outdoors and indoors, the feeling of open, airy elegance permeating every space.
With a refined, ordered pattern, the herringbone oak floors offer an interesting twist, adding timelessness and warmth to the interior. Exciting ultra-modern fixtures and fittings draw the eye, the sumptuous metallics paired perfectly with dark accent walls for a subtle sense of the dramatic. The interior design of Villa Camphor invites you to embark on a journey of personal discovery. Each space within becomes a sanctuary for meditation and self-reflection, where the blending of nature-inspired elements and timeless architecture creates an environment that is uniquely your own.
WORLD OF SANCTUARY: The residence is unique in shape and size, and is designed to take advantage of the slope, views, and foliage on its plot while built and finished to modern exacting standards.
Aspects that set this residence apart: The construction of the house will not require the removal of great swathes of existing foliage. All large specimen trees remain with the addition of new trees and shrubs, terraces, and planter boxes.
