Casa Franschhoek

Exclusive Sole Mandate.

Positioned within Werwe, the most secluded and lowest-density section of Franschhoek Agricultural Estate, this is one of only 19 residences in a fully built-out enclave where privacy, scale and architectural quality are rarely found together. Designed by Wynand Wilsenach of Wilsenach Wilson Architects, the home sits within a working agricultural landscape of olive groves and vineyards, yet is just minutes from the restaurants, galleries and wine estates of Franschhoek Village.
The 4 000 m2 stand is a genuine rarity in the Winelands - level, generous in size, and oriented to capture uninterrupted 360-degree mountain views including direct outlooks toward Franschhoek Mountain and Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve. A long private approach driveway, surrounded by olive groves and a landscaped perimeter berm work together to ensure the home is completely private and invisible from neighbouring properties. The sense of space is amplified by a perceived landscape scale of approximately 8 000 m2.
Inside, the pavilion-style living volume brings kitchen, dining and lounge together beneath 6-metre ceilings in a single, light-filled architectural space. Full-height stacking glass doors retract fully on multiple sides, dissolving the boundary between interior and exterior and drawing the mountain landscape directly into the home. The finishes are restrained and confident, with Oggie hardwood flooring, natural marble in the primary and guest bathrooms, integrated architectural lighting, and a custom Miele kitchen appointed with oven, steamer, integrated coffee machine, dual warming drawers and induction hob. Home automation and a distributed audio system complete the specification.
Accommodation extends well beyond the three en-suite bedrooms of the main house. A master suite with dressing room, two study spaces, an upper-level flatlet and a fully self-contained separate flatlet with private kitchen offer flexibility for guests, extended family or staff. Outdoors, a private tennis court and pavilion, heated swimming pool, professional gym, golf simulator suite and two established rose gardens create a lifestyle offering that is genuinely self-contained. A 19 kW solar system with 80 kWh battery storage, 25 kVA generator and a 60-metre high-yield borehole ensure the property operates reliably and independently year-round.
