Where Heritage Meets Opportunity

Perched high on the slopes of historic Bo-Kaap, 10 Ella Street presents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire one of the area’s larger residential properties with uninterrupted views stretching across Table Mountain, Lion’s Head and the Cape Town City Bowl.

Lovingly owned by the same family for more than five decades, this substantial home offers exceptional space, flexibility and endless potential in one of Cape Town’s most iconic and sought-after neighbourhoods.

Currently configured as a spacious seven-bedroom main residence together with a two-bedroom separate entrance, the property lends itself perfectly to a wide range of buyers—from large or extended families to investors seeking multiple income streams, boutique guest accommodation or a luxury restoration project.

While the home remains in largely original condition, it has been exceptionally well maintained structurally, providing the ideal canvas for a purchaser to modernize and add significant value while preserving its unique character.

Whether you’re searching for a forever family home, an investment with excellent redevelopment potential, or a landmark property to transform into something truly special, 10 Ella Street offers an opportunity that seldom becomes available.

This is more than a home.

It is a chance to own a piece of Cape Town’s history while creating its next chapter.
