Tucked away on a private security estate in Stellenbosch is a property in a unique setting – one of eight houses, each with a 5 000m² exclusive area. This idyllic home embodies luxurious country lifestyle yet is minutes from the historic centre of the town and its schools and university.
A charming cobbled forecourt and entrance portico lead to a private central piazza, with beautiful coral trees providing a sheltered entertainment area. The generous open-concept living area, with vaulted ceilings, raised arched windows and double doors opening onto a veranda, has an abundance of natural light.
There is a seamless flow between the entertainment spaces, all featuring spectacular views. This living space is an effortless combination of a casual dining and lounge area, with a wood-burning fireplace, and a formal dining area. A mezzanine-level study overlooks the reception rooms.

The master bedroom is en suite with a dressing room and private patio opening to the garden. A separate wing has a family room, double-width passageway with doors opening on to the piazza and three en suite bedrooms.
A spacious guest suite offers independent access from both courtyard and garden. The stackable wooden doors to the veranda and deck create not only an ultimate alfresco dining opportunity, but also showcase the essence of this property with its unsurpassed mountain views.
An expansive wooden deck extends to a solar-heated, rim-flow pool and gently sloping lawn. The perfectly landscaped indigenous garden is complemented by a dam and surrounding natural vegetation.
