Paarl, Western Cape, South Africa

Set along the water's edge in an established neighbourhood on Val de Vie Estate, this immaculate home impresses with its grand scale and peaceful surroundings. Offering a lifestyle of exceptional privacy and a connection to its natural surroundings, with the wider Val de Vie Estate's amenities and wellness offerings on your doorstep.

East-facing across the lake towards the Drakenstein Mountains, the home is positioned to capture the soft morning light and changing mountain views throughout the day. Mornings begin with coffee overlooking the water as ducks move across the lake and the sun rises over the mountains. At the same time, warmer afternoons invite time spent paddling, fishing or simply enjoying the calm of the lake.

The ground floor centres on generous open-plan living, where the kitchen, dining and main living areas flow naturally together. Contemporary finishes and expansive glass stacking doors create a light-filled interior while opening the living space towards the covered patio and lakeside setting beyond.

The modern kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring a gas stovetop, ample cabinetry, a pantry and a separate scullery and laundry. Designed for relaxed entertaining, the adjoining outdoor living area includes a built-in braai, pizza oven and preparation sink, creating an easy transition between indoor and outdoor living.
A separate secondary lounge adds valuable flexibility. This versatile room can serve as a bar and entertainment area, private study or library, games room, or informal television lounge, depending on the household's needs.

Also positioned on the ground floor is a private guest bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom and separate entrance, offering guests additional independence and privacy.

Four extended garages provide covered space for vehicles, hobby equipment or storage, with built-in cabinetry and additional storage throughout.

Upstairs, a relaxed pyjama lounge opens onto a balcony overlooking the lake and surrounding mountains, creating a quieter family living space away from the main entertainment areas below. A dedicated study with built-in cabinetry and desk space also enjoys balcony access and views towards Simonsberg.

The main bedroom is a private space with air-conditioning, direct balcony access and uninterrupted views across the lake. A dressing area, walk-in safe and spacious en-suite bathroom with double basins and a bath complete the suite. Two additional bedrooms are both en-suite and air-conditioned, with direct balcony access allowing each room to enjoy the surrounding Winelands views.

This home is designed around the rhythm of lakeside living. From quiet mornings to summer afternoons spent horse-riding, paddling or fishing from the lake, the setting brings a peacefulness to everyday life.

Set in a sought-after area of Val de Vie Estate, the home combines generous family living, versatile spaces and a waterfront position in South Africa's safest wellness estate.
