Available 1 May 2026 - 31 October 2026

Set on 16 hectares of manicured gardens, horse paddocks, and unspoiled natural surrounds, this extraordinary estate, known as Lombard Villa, offers a seamless fusion of classic Cape Dutch architecture with French country charm and English cottage warmth. Perfectly positioned in The Crags, just a short drive from Plettenberg Bay and Nature’s Valley, the property is a rare gem that combines timeless elegance with everyday comfort.

The grand entrance welcomes you into an expansive, character filled home where double-volume ceilings and generous proportions set the tone. The heart of the home is a spacious kitchen complete with gas stove, large fireplace, separate scullery, and laundry, ideal for both hosting and homestead style living. The elegant dining room is framed by views of a serene dam, while the formal lounge and TV room flow effortlessly onto a covered patio featuring a built in braai, pizza oven, and a sparkling swimming pool, all backdropped by breath-taking vistas of the Outeniqua Mountains.

Accommodation is thoughtfully designed for both family living and guest comfort. Downstairs, several private guest suites include en-suite bathrooms, offering convenience and seclusion. Upstairs, a pyjama lounge or study nook leads to the luxurious master suite, complete with walk in dressing room and full en suite bathroom. Two further upstairs bedrooms each offer en-suite bathrooms, making this home ideal for extended stays and entertaining.

A separate, beautifully appointed one bedroom guest cottage overlooks the pool and offers complete privacy, ideal for visiting family, staff accommodation, or rental potential. Additional features include a double garage, ample off-street parking, WiFi, DSTV, and Netflix, with seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living areas.

The Crags is a highly sought after rural area known for its natural beauty, vineyards, wildlife sanctuaries, and artisanal culture. It offers residents a peaceful country lifestyle with convenient access to both Nature’s Valley and central Plettenberg Bay. Just 20 minutes from the heart of town, this location allows for easy access to top schools, restaurants, medical facilities, and the world renowned beaches of the Garden Route.

Plettenberg Bay itself is one of South Africa’s most desirable coastal towns, celebrated for its pristine coastline, vibrant outdoor lifestyle, and thriving property market. With a growing community and an increasing focus on nature-based living, it has become a top choice for semigration, investment, and lifestyle buyers.

Lombard Villa is a property of stature, offering privacy, presence, and unparalleled lifestyle value in one of the most enchanting corners of the Western Cape.
