A modern, natural home on a traditional estate.

Eco-friendly estate living has become increasingly popular in the Boland region of the Western Cape, and looking at this fresh, modern property, one can see why.

Upon entering this home, you are immediately struck by the incredible amount of space and sheer square metreage of the property.

Positioned in an affluent, leafy suburb of Cape Town, this home has been renovated solely with this young family in mind.

The natural beauty of the Cape Winelands is among the best in the world, and in the midst of it you will find the prestigious and exclusive Val de Vie Estate.

Symmetry, comfort and style are the words that immediately come to mind when describing this family home.

Situated on the Val de Vie golf and polo estate in Paarl, Valentia Manor is a 27ha estate all on its own, home to Renier Swart of Val de Vie Construction and his family.

Having built this extensive property – situated in the northern suburbs of Cape Town – himself over two years, the owner ensured it was visually enticing as it was practical.

The owners of this family home in Johannesburg had their hearts set on this property, built in 1972 by a well-known architect, but it needed extensive restoration.
