luxury house for sale Riebeek West, South Africa
House with pool and garden Riebeek West (South Africa)
One of the many allures of the Riebeek Valley for tourists and residents alike, is its rich history. This history, is beautifully encapsulated in some of the historical buildings in the Valley of which this home, its grounds and outbuildings is a magnificent example. Situated in a central position in Riebeek West, it appears to be an original farmstead and barn house, conveniently updated to meet the needs of today’s modern family. The historical features are strongly reflected in its size, the thick walls, high ceilings and details such as tall Victorian sash windows, wooden floors with unique grilles (floor vents), which have been beautifully preserved. Living areas leading out onto the large undercover verandah allows for early morning breakfasts and afternoon teas, while observing birdlife in the fully grown trees. The extent of this 6 bedroom home, barn house and other outbuildings, is discreetly hidden from sight behind lush gardens on a sprawling 2 353 square meter stand, which in itself is a rare find so close to the centre of town. Adding to the value of this property, is a fully developed attic with two separate sections, perfect for running a business from home, homeschooling or as a hobby room. The largest part of the attic is currently used as a media room/ home theatre but due to its extent, lends itself to many other possibilities, from dancing to exercise studio. The layout of the home is sensibly designed and allows for dual living or extended families. Currently the owners run a sought after guesthouse from the premises. The extensive barn with two additional rooms, previously used as an art studio/gallery, is currently used as garaging for 3-4 vehicles. The space offers endless possibilities, be it cooking demonstrations, special events, the famous “long tables” dining experience, workshops, yoga classes and more. Another attraction to be added to the outside entertainment area, is the swimming pool enclosed by a wooden deck, and a separate Braai area. Make your own oil from the olive grove, and enjoy seasonal fruit from your own garden. Having the advantage of a strong borehole on the property makes gardening a fruitful and flourishing experience. This is not a home, but a lifestyle. To experience this magnificent property in it’s whole, arrange a viewing appointment today.

House with pool Riebeek-Kasteel (South Africa)
EXCLUSIVE MANDATE: Riebeek Kasteel with an abundance of vineyards, olive groves and wheat fields, suggests an authentic village feel life, like no other. To add to this already exceptional surroundings, Lew Geffen Sotheby’s International Realty Winelands, offers an established single storey home, slightly elevated and perfectly located in a quiet street, only 650m from the centre of the Village. For the current owner it was literally “love at first sight” when he came across this hidden gem that was designed by the late and well-known architect Douglas Roberts. Established on 1879m² of land with mature trees, olive trees, various other fruit trees, a low maintenance garden which includes a glistening 18 meter lap pool, a gazebo for early morning breakfasts and a potting shed next to a raised herb garden, he knew he found the perfect home. The 3 open-concept living areas, which accommodate both relaxed family living and entertaining, are designed to extend living space to flow effortlessly to the covered patio into the garden. High vaulted ceilings and sliding doors add to the appeal of this established home with its great indoor-outdoor flow. The interior is minimalistic with bamboo and tiled flooring. A wood-burning fireplace adds to the aesthetics of the living area and can only spell long and cozy winter nights. The kitchen is well fitted with an electrical oven/gas hob, wall and floor cabinetry with beautiful granite counter tops. A well-proportioned kitchen island separates the kitchen from the large living area. The wrap around patio/stoep, close to the pool, is ideal for long table summer dinners with family and friends. This home lends itself to comfortable outdoor living/entertaining. The generous and spacious main bedroom with direct access to the garden and lap pool offers ample cupboard space, including a walk-in bathroom with large shower, freestanding bath, basin and separate toilet. The second bedroom with a fully fitted en-suite bathroom and ample cupboard space as well as a private patio area leading out into the garden, is well placed in the general lay-out of the house. The third room, with an en-suite bathroom – shower toilet and basin - also with direct access to the garden, can easily double up as a third bedroom, pajama lounge or study/studio. Furthermore, with the double volume vault ceilings and if you relate to mezzanines, there are endless possibilities to extend the house, should it required for. This property is not necessarily only to be used as a permanent residence for young families or whether one can retire peacefully, it can also serve as an ideal weekend getaway for those who wish to escape city living.
