A STUNNING CONTAINER HOME ON THE HILLS OF CALITZDORP

Nestled high up on a hill in a serene reserve just outside Calitzdorp, this luxurious two-bedroom home stands as a testament to both innovative design and engineering prowess. The project, built entirely using shipping containers, presented unique challenges, especially with the rigging. However, thanks to our trusted rigging partners, we successfully overcame these obstacles, bringing the vision to life on the elevated terrain.

A Modern Sanctuary in Nature

This is no ordinary home. It’s a two-bedroom oasis offering the finest high-end finishes and a unique connection with the natural environment. Every inch of the space has been thoughtfully designed to maximize comfort while embracing off-grid living. From the outside, the sleek lines of the containers are softened by natural elements, while inside, the open-plan layout flows seamlessly into the tranquil landscape beyond.

Elegant Living Spaces

The home features two en-suite bedrooms, each designed with privacy and comfort in mind. The master bedroom offers the ultimate indulgence: an outdoor shower where you can bathe under the stars, a touch of luxury surrounded by nature. The second bedroom is equally serene, perfect for guests or a family member.

At the heart of the home, the open-plan living area combines the kitchen, dining, and lounge spaces into one fluid environment, designed for socializing and relaxation. Large windows surround this area, allowing natural light to flood in while offering panoramic views of the valley below and the Gamka River winding its way through the reserve. This connection with nature continues as you step outside onto the wraparound deck, where an outdoor braai and a sparkling swimming pool await. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet evening or hosting a lively gathering, this outdoor space is an extension of the home’s warmth and charm.

Off-Grid Luxury

This hilltop retreat is not only luxurious but entirely self-sustaining, thanks to cutting-edge off-grid systems. A robust solar power setup keeps the home running efficiently, powering everything from the lights to the air conditioning system. The property also features a septic tank and a sophisticated water filtration system that pumps water from underground and purifies it for potable use. Here, luxury meets sustainability without compromise.

Thoughtful Additions and Features

Convenience was not sacrificed in the pursuit of sustainability. A scullery ensures that the kitchen remains sleek and organized, while a spacious double carport and a storeroom at the base of the hill offer ample storage and parking space. For those who prefer not to walk the scenic stone footpath leading to the house, a steep driveway behind the hill provides access to a parking bay located just behind the house.

Interior Excellence

Inside, every detail has been carefully curated to exude elegance and sophistication. SPC vinyl flooring runs throughout the home, providing a modern, durable finish that complements the house’s eco-friendly ethos. The kitchen and bathrooms are adorned with Caesarstone countertops, adding a touch of luxury to these practical spaces.

Natural light plays a key role in the home’s design. Large windows not only open up the space but are also fitted with UV-protected glass to shield the interior from excessive heat, ensuring the furniture and flooring remain in pristine condition. Climate control is managed with a fully air-conditioned system powered by the solar panels, ensuring you can relax in comfort year-round.

A Vision of Sustainable, Container-Based Living

This home is more than just a structure—it’s a testament to what can be achieved when innovation, luxury, and sustainability come together. Built entirely from containers, this hilltop retreat redefines modern living, offering a unique balance of eco-conscious design and unparalleled comfort. It’s not just a place to live; it’s an experience, a lifestyle, and a sanctuary nestled in the heart of nature.

Welcome to the future of luxury living – off the grid, on top of the world.
