Location
Stonehurst’s unique position at the start of the ‘Blue Route’ M3 highway, means that residents have easy access to one of the main routes to the city of Cape Town.
Some of South Africa’s major tourist destinations are just a few minutes’ drive away, including:
Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens
• The coastal towns of Kommetjie and Noordhoek (over historic Ou Kaapse Weg)
• The beautiful beaches of the False Bay coastline (via Boyes Drive)
• Cape Point Nature Reserve
• The dappled environs of Tokai Forest
• The Constantia Wine Route (via scenic back-roads)
Stonehurst residents enjoy quick access to the natural beauty and attractions of the surrounding mountains, including walking, hiking and mountain-bike trails and popular picnic areas. In addition to the paths and trails, there are a number of sandstone cave systems, as well as rock climbing routes in the mountains above Muizenberg (which is just a five minute drive away).
For shopping and entertainment, Steenberg Village, Westlake Business Park, the Blue Route Mall and Constantia Village are just a few of the world class shopping centres right on Stonehurst’s doorstep.
With Stonehurst as a springboard, many of South Africa’s most sought after beaches, nature reserves, forests, restaurants, wine farms, hiking trails and bicycling routes are literally just-around-the-corner.
Westlake Golf Course is just a five minute walk from Stonehurst and Cape Town’s world-famous Newlands rugby and cricket stadiums, CBD, V&A Waterfront are between a 10 and 20 minute drive away.
The Estate is extremely conveniently located with access to a number of the top schools in the Western Cape, as well as to sporting amenities such the Westlake Golf Course (an immediate neighbour), excellent restaurants, local businesses and modern shopping centres.
Spoilt for choice Stonehurst residents can go exploring beyond the estate, make the most of Stonehurst’s own facilities or just stay at home and look out for Black Eagles or a porcupine or two.
Nature Living
Stonehurst Mountain Estate is located near to the Silvermine-Tokai section of Table Mountain National Park which houses one of the world’s greatest natural gardens – the Cape Floral Kingdom. Of the 8 200 plant species found here, approximately 80% of these are fynbos and very many are endemic – meaning that they occur nowhere else on earth.
Indigenous flora is encouraged to spill over from public open spaces, into residents’ gardens – softening the architecture and providing a sanctuary for wildlife and humans alike. Three streams flow from the mountain through the Estate, attracting along the way abundant bird, animal and insect life. The dam at the Lifestyle Centre is a playground for birds, insects, fish and indigenous frogs.
Stonehurst is proud to be home to the endangered Western Leopard Toad – these toads live in and around the marshy reed beds and are most active at night, especially when it rains. Regular wildlife visitors to the estate include Black Eagles, Rock Kestrels, Shrikes, Porcupines and Otters.
The strict architectural, landscaping and construction protocols ensure not only that the estate’s aesthetics are maintained but equally importantly, that the protection of Stonehurst’s indigenous fauna and flora is also meaningfully taken into account.

Architecture
Stonehurst, with its’ ethos of “fine living – naturally”, is a ‘black sky’ development, discouraging light pollution and encouraging sustainable home design, water saving, environmentally sensitive building techniques as well as alternative energy use.
The estate’s design guidelines are aimed at ensuring that Stonehurst integrates synergistically and sensitively with its mountain backdrop, as unobtrusively as possible. The rationale behind the bold, contemporary architectural approach is to inspire the creation of homes that are symbiotic with nature.
With building footprints and roof forms that work empathetically with the topography and natural contours of the mountainside location, a key objective is to integrate the internal and exterior spaces – thus bringing the outside inside. Varying, fragmented roof forms, separated by flat sections and complimented by pergolas and verandas, minimize the impact of buildings against the mountainside vistas. The use of natural building materials such as stone and timber in dark and neutral tones ensure that homes blend seamlessly with the natural environment.
The character and aesthetic appeal of the Estate as a whole is delivered through the use of fynbos gardens, courtyards, avenues, water features, terraces, pools, pergolas and fences which are integrated to link land, water and built forms.Courtyards and gardens create sheltered external spaces, whilst views of the valley, False Bay and the surrounding mountains are optimised through the intelligent planning of individual erven locations.
