Stellenbosch Farms, Stellenbosch

Perched high on a hilltop with sweeping wraparound views, this Tuscan-inspired stone manor offers a rare blend of rustic charm and country elegance. Designed for those who value space, serenity, and the romance of Winelands living, the property also holds scope for a boutique lifestyle venture should one wish to pursue it.

The main residence features four spacious en-suite bedrooms, a welcoming lounge, a cosy library, and a guest dining room that flows from the heart of the home — a characterful Tuscan-style kitchen. Outdoors, a rim-flow pool overlooks the olive orchards and valley below, setting the scene for long, sun-drenched days and tranquil evenings. A fifth en-suite bedroom beside the pool provides additional privacy for guests or family.

Wine and olive enthusiasts will delight in the estate’s working elements. A charming underground cellar is perfectly suited for intimate gatherings or tastings, while a fully equipped winemaking cellar offers the opportunity to craft your own vintages. The vineyards, planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Sangiovese, and Viognier, currently yield around 14 tons — approximately 16,000 bottles — with the option to either vinify on-site or outsource to nearby cellars. The 300+ Leccino and Frantoio olive trees produce roughly 300 litres of cold-pressed olive oil annually, a rewarding lifestyle project or a product easily outsourced to local specialists.

Additional improvements include two garages, a self-contained one-bedroom apartment, staff/manager accommodation, a home office, and a storeroom.

This is a home that invites you to slow down and savour the good life, with the option to take it further — whether as a private retreat, boutique wine-and-olive venture, or charming country guest residence.
