Set within a lush, indigenous garden on nearly 5,000 m² of land, this remarkable home offers a rare blend of luxury, sustainability, and complete privacy. Designed as a secure, off-grid eco-retreat, the property is a living expression of harmony between architecture and nature — a sanctuary where sophistication meets serenity in the heart of the Riebeek Valley, one of South Africa’s most artistic and scenic rural enclaves.

Grounds & Setting

Surrounded by mature indigenous landscaping conceived by award-winning garden designers, the estate has evolved over 15 years into a botanical masterpiece. Aloes, fever trees, proteas and other native species are complemented by fruiting olive, lime and Amalfi lemon trees — even a pair of rare globe avocados.

Perched high on the hill with panoramic mountain views, the property captures both the Kasteelberg and distant ranges. A private borehole and over 25,000 litres of water storage ensure lush gardens year-round, while a gentle stream and pond add tranquil ambience.

Refined Living & Modern Innovation

The main residence has been re-imagined for modern entertaining, with open-plan interiors flooded with natural light and oriented to frame the dramatic views.

Three en-suite bedrooms, including a master suite with dressing area

Guest bathroom and versatile additional rooms adaptable for lifestyle or hobby use

Energy independence via a full solar-battery system powering the entire home (including ten air-conditioners), supported by a 10 kW generator

Comprehensive mesh Wi-Fi throughout, and interior monitoring screens for effortless oversight

Advanced integrated security system, providing estate-level protection with seamless discretion

With its mature garden and elevated position, the property offers absolute privacy — the moment you arrive, the outside world falls away.

Additional Buildings & Expansion Potential

A separate structure houses:

Double garage (currently a gym and dance studio with mirrored walls)

Dedicated study overlooking a tropical garden vista

Storage room / security control centre

The property comprises approximately 300 m² of built area, with approved planning for a further 200 m² at highly economical build rates.

Layout & Outdoor Lifestyle

A gated 100 m² courtyard sets the tone for this tranquil retreat. Inside, a library and glazed veranda open to flowing living areas and a designer kitchen. Outdoor living takes centre stage:

Expansive deck with pool, cascading water feature and cabana pavilion

Outdoor shower, fire-pit and shaded dining terrace

Lower level with 40 m² music room (sound-proofed) and a 14 m² speakeasy / wine cellar

Upper terrace ideal for yoga or sunrise meditation

Parking is generous, including a two-car carport, secondary driveway, and multiple covered bays secured by motorised hardwood gates. Automatic lighting enhances the garden’s magical atmosphere after sunset.

A Lifestyle of Distinction

Lovingly curated and upgraded by its current custodians, this residence is far more than a home — it is a statement of mindful luxury. Combining cutting-edge off-grid technology with timeless natural beauty, it stands as a rare opportunity for discerning buyers seeking a private, design-driven retreat in South Africa’s Western Cape wine and art region.
