A Tuscan Inspired Lifestyle Farm In The Heart Of The Cape Winelands, Stellenbosch, South Africa

Perched high on the elevated slopes above Stellenbosch, this 4-hectare Tuscan-inspired lifestyle farm commands uninterrupted views across the Cape Winelands — with the championship Devonvale Golf Course unfolding at its foothill and the silhouette of Table Mountain, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, framing the horizon beyond.
Positioned only minutes from the new Cape Winelands Airport (scheduled to begin operations in 2027) and within easy reach of the corridors linking Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront, the world-class vineyards of Stellenbosch, and the town’s rich cultural and heritage sites, this property offers rare convenience without compromising on privacy or sense of place. The bustling amenities of Stellenbosch’s CBD are just minutes away.
A 35-Year Labour of Love
This is no ordinary farmhouse. Over 35 years, the current owner — an engineer and committed environmentalist — has poured passion, heritage and craftsmanship into building a home that tells a story in every detail. Drawing on his Italian roots, he shaped a genuine Tuscan homestead using approximately 300 tons of stone sourced directly from the property, hand-chipped and worked into the rock walls that wrap the exterior of the home. Wooden doors gathered from across the globe bring further texture and history to a home that reads as a true melting pot of treasures.
True to the owner’s engineering and environmental background, the estate has been designed to work in harmony with the land — technology and topography shaped together to protect the natural integrity of the soil and build with real purpose.
The Home
Spanning approximately 1,000 m², the character-filled main residence flows through gracious reception rooms into a dramatic entrance hall and staircase, with soaring ceilings lending the interiors real architectural presence. The home currently operates as a boutique guesthouse, comprising five uniquely designed luxury en-suite rooms — each filled with individual character and sweeping views — that have made this a sought-after destination in the winelands, consistently achieving above-average occupancy.
Two additional self-contained apartments offer flexibility for an owner to live on site, or to be let on a long-term lease basis.
A working vegetable garden supports a genuine farm-to-fork lifestyle, while the grounds invite slow mornings and golden evenings — a place to watch the sun rise and set over the valley and simply be present.
The Land: Wine, Olives & Beyond
Of the property’s 4 hectares, 2 hectares are under cultivation — planted to five grape varietals( Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Malbec, Viognier, Sangiovese and olive varietals Frantioi and Leccino . An on-site wine production cellar gives the next owner full creative scope to continue producing distinctive, small-batch wines, while the olive harvest is currently pressed by an outsourced provider.
Beneath the estate lies a separate underground cellar and tasting room — a hidden world of its own, where guests descend to discover a cool, atmospheric space for savouring the property’s boutique wines. It is a moment of quiet theatre built into the everyday rhythm of the farm, adding a sense of mystery and discovery to the tasting experience.
A Location That Captures Imaginations
The home’s unmistakably Tuscan character has already drawn creatives, filmmakers and advertisers to the property for photo shoots, short films and commercial productions. With its dramatic setting and versatile spaces, the estate holds further untapped potential as a venue for weddings and other special events.
The Opportunity
This is a rare convergence of lifestyle, heritage and income-generating potential in one of South Africa’s most celebrated wine valleys. The next owner does not simply acquire a farm — they inherit a legacy of craftsmanship and hospitality, with the freedom to write its next chapter.
