Well known property in the Franschhoek valley.

Description

Set in an enclave where the grand Franschhoek mountains meet the award-winning vineyards of the valley, this boutique country residence combines glorious design with an inspired take on Cape Dutch modernism, inviting relaxed, comfortable living in the most sublime surroundings. Tucked away behind the iconic Huguenot monument, the estate is the culmination of a love affair between the intrepid owners and this picturesque town in the internationally renowned wine country of South Africa. While paying homage to the local architectural vernacular, the inspired design plays with proportions, creating a lofty, broader and more optimistic aesthetic. From the decorative gables and high-pitched roofs to the Art Deco interiors, every aspect has been masterfully curated to offer residents a storied life filled with luxury and refinement.

The property comprises two impressive residential homes, one with 4 bedrooms and the other with 3. In addition, there are two 2-bedroom villas and two 1-bedroom luxury guest suites, offering varied and generous accommodation. The centrepiece courtyard showcases a small labyrinth and a large swimming pool, creating a serene yet lively entertainment space.
A stunning rooftop area connects these two homes and is perfect for entertaining with panoramic views. This property is ideal for extended families, dual living or those seeking a lifestyle estate with income-generating potential. The craftsmanship throughout the interiors showcases statement cabinetry, extravagant wallpapers and sophisticated lighting. The living spaces of the main residences feature open-plan lounges, dining areas and custom-designed kitchens, all centred around a floor-to-ceiling, glass-enclosed fireplace that serves as a striking focal point.

Sprawled across an expansive 1.6 ha, the Versailles-inspired landscaped gardens and water features add an element of grandeur. The solar-heated, Moroccan-inspired pool, laid with green and white mosaic tiles in a checkerboard pattern, is both eye-catching and restorative, offering the ultimate in relaxed living with enchanting views.
