The Story Behind Bougainvillea Haven:
The current owners embarked on a journey to find their perfect home, leaving Port Elizabeth for Cape Town in search of a peaceful, nurturing environment for their growing family. Drawn to the rural feel of Constantia, they knew they had found something special upon first stepping onto the property. The vibrant bougainvillaea that adorned the home’s frontage, the spacious garden with its mature trees, and even a family of guinea fowl meandering across the lawn—it all felt like a sanctuary.
Over 17 years, the family lovingly transformed the house into a home, carefully refurbishing it and creating spaces that reflect their lifestyle. From adding a jungle gym and sandpit for their children to enhancing the garden with fruit trees, the property became a personal haven for both play and relaxation.
