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.

Having relocated from a quaint seaside town, this family of four chose something completely different: an estate among the Cape Winelands.

You will find this delightful property in an exclusive state on Cape Town’s west coast, where both birdlife and sea life are abundant.

Set in a quiet Winelands suburb of Cape Town, this Tuscan villa is as quirky as it is endearing.

This home is situated in a popular eco-estate on the KwaZulu-Natal coast. It’s a new build with three en-suite bedrooms and a guest loo, which happens to be one of the owner’s favourite rooms in the house.

This area is a secret gem. “The properties are not on top of each other, but there is a true sense of community,” says the home owner of her home in an exclusive residential estate in the Upper Highway area of KwaZulu-Natal.

Deep in the heart of the Cape Winelands, in a high-end lifestyle estate, is where you will find this family home.

Situated on an upmarket golf estate in the Upper Highway area of KwaZulu-Natal, this stately home boasts magnificent views over the golf course and clubhouse.
