Un Domaine De Campagne Exceptionnel Au Cœur De La Vallée De Franschhoek

EXCLUSIVE MANDATE: Set between mountains, vineyards and a perennial river, this exceptional six-bedroom home in Fransche Hoek Agricultural Estate is just minutes from the heart of Franschhoek.

Designed by Wynand Wilsenach Architects and built by Dempers Master Builders, this almost 1,200 m² residence is set on 2,850 m² in one of the Franschhoek valley’s most beautiful settings.

Its scale is impressive, but it is the detailing that sets it apart. Soaring French Poplar ceilings and exposed timber trusses define the main living areas, complemented by oak joinery, Oggie timber flooring, Carrera marble, copper detailing and beautifully crafted cabinetry.

The kitchen, dining and living spaces flow naturally into an enclosed entertainment stoep, where folding glass doors open to the landscaped garden and 12 x 4 m swimming pool with integrated Jacuzzi. Beyond the garden, a terrace beside the river offers a quiet place to take in the surrounding Chamonix vineyards and mountain views.

Five generous bedrooms each have their own en-suite bathroom, with the principal suite enjoying a particularly beautiful outlook, private dressing room and elegant Carrera marble bathroom. A dedicated oak-finished study, household administration space and a temperature-controlled wine display add to the considered planning of the home. An additional external en-suite bedroom is ideal for staff or guests.

Downstairs reveals something entirely unexpected: a private gym, sauna, workshop and an extraordinary basement showroom accommodating approximately ten vehicles. A separate two-car garage provides convenient everyday parking.

The home is equally well considered behind the scenes, with a borehole and reverse-osmosis water system supplying the house and garden, automated irrigation, double glazing and a solar installation comprising 32 panels, three inverters and three large batteries.

Securely positioned within Fransche Hoek Agricultural Estate, with additional private cameras, beams and an internal alarm system, this remarkable Franschhoek property offers an unusual combination of space, craftsmanship and tranquillity.

A home where mountain, vineyard and river become part of everyday life.
