Paarl, Western Cape, South Africa

Set on an expansive 4000m² stand in one of Val de Vie Estate's most sought-after neighbourhoods, this truly unique 1400m² home offers the very best of luxury living. The home offers a combination of resort-style amenities, cutting-edge technology and exquisite designer finishes. Mountain vistas enhance the interiors, while beautifully landscaped gardens create a sense of peace and grandeur that is felt from the moment you arrive.

This exceptional home features seven luxurious en-suite bedrooms, each with a full bathroom with bath, shower and vanity. The beautiful main bedroom features a double walk-in shower, bespoke cabinetry and striking views of the surrounding mountain ranges. A private pyjama lounge with a coffee station, a linen room and extensive storage provides additional day-to-day convenience.

At the heart of the home lies a beautiful chef's kitchen, designed as both a functional workspace and an inviting social hub. Integrated Siemens appliances, a five-burner Pitt cooker, three built-in fridges and a dedicated coffee station make everyday living effortless. A separate butler's kitchen supports large-scale cooking and hosting. An adjoining utility wing accommodates a fully equipped laundry, a large laundry area, a staff kitchen, a gardener's bathroom and four discreet washing lines. Two private, en-suite bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for live-in support.

The kitchen opens to the elegant dining room, where generous proportions and elevated finishes create the perfect setting for intimate dinners or celebratory events. Multiple lounges and sitting areas extend beyond this area, each positioned to draw in natural light and make the most of the surrounding garden and mountain backdrop. A children's playroom adds a dedicated space for younger family members.

Entertaining is easy here, with a custom cinema room for movie nights, a bar, a pool room and indoor-outdoor lounging areas. Glass doors open to vast terraces, where the 15-metre swimming pool stretches across the manicured lawn. A jacuzzi with a heat pump entices leisurely afternoons, while evenings linger around the boma under the stars. Two Lacunza wood-burning fireplaces and two gas fireplaces provide warmth and ambience throughout the seasons.

Outdoor living is exceptional, with a landscaped garden with mature plants, flowing terraces and a tranquil koi pond that offer moments of calm. Two upstairs patios capture the last golden light of the valley, perfect for sundowners as the mountains shift through shades of amber and rose.

With wellness in mind, the home includes a private gym and sauna, a dedicated soccer or netball astro pitch and a putting green complete with a sand bunker.

A beautifully designed home office provides the perfect space for focused work, while a central data and DB room, two mudrooms and additional storage rooms ensure organisation throughout the home. Seven garages offer secure, direct-access parking, with an expansive driveway capable of accommodating more than 20 additional vehicles, an exceptional feature for hosting events or large-scale entertaining.

The home is engineered with long-term sustainability in mind. A 24kW Sunsynk solar system with 60kWh of backup batteries ensures a reliable power supply during load-shedding. Water systems include 90 000 litres of storage tanks and a 2 000kl annual borehole irrigation allocation from Val de Vie Estate, supported by automated irrigation and booster systems that maintain the gardens with ease. A ducted Samsung HVAC system ensures year-round comfort, while Wi-Fi mesh, automated lighting, integrated blinds and curtains and Luxaflex shutters support modern, intuitive living.

Every detail has been carefully considered, from performance double-glazing and Evalast composite cladding to engineered wooden floors, oak internal doors and premium fixtures, including Meir taps, Dado Quartz baths and Geberit systems.

Statement elements such as Steven Phicus chandeliers, James Mudge furniture pieces and a feature artwork by Bron Stofberg add character and individuality. A central atrium anchors the interior, drawing light and greenery into the home's central spaces.

A remarkable home of this scale, quality and setting seldom becomes available on Val de Vie Estate, it offers a balanced, thoughtfully interpreted vision of family living, with exceptional finishes, amenities and a prime location. It provides a rare opportunity to experience estate living at its most luxurious.
