Description

This authentic Cape Vernacular home is set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Domaine des Anges, one of Franschhoek’s most private and immaculately maintained estates. Surrounded by vineyard rows and mountain silhouettes, it offers a setting that is as composed as the architecture itself.

There’s a quiet confidence to this home. Generous volumes and clean, intentional lines are grounded by tiled floors and softened by warm natural textures, while large windows and glass doors artistically frame the unfolding landscape of mountains and vines. Every space has been thoughtfully curated to celebrate flow, functionality and quiet retreat.
The home opens into a formal lounge with high ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, which extends to a glass-enclosed patio designed for year-round enjoyment. In summer, the space opens fully to the terrace, offering an intimate connection to the garden and surrounding vines on long, sun-filled afternoons.

The heart of the home is a spacious kitchen with marble surfaces, wooden cabinetry and a relaxed dining area warmed by a second fireplace. A separate scullery ensures the practical aspects remain discreetly behind the scenes. A dedicated study provides a private workspace, ideal for those who divide their time between travel, leisure and remote work.

Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms offer comfort and quiet, with the main suite designed as a retreat. A quaint personal lift provides direct access to the suite, which features a large en-suite bathroom and opens onto a terrace with magnificent views of the valley. The remaining bedrooms are equally well-proportioned and beautifully lit, allowing for flexibility across generations or guests.

A trio of fireplaces, along with underfloor heating and solar power, ensure comfort and continuity across every season. The garden, lush and established, wraps around a sparkling pool that feels entirely at ease in its surroundings.
Life in Domaine des Anges is peaceful and discreet. With just a handful of homes and beautifully maintained grounds, it offers a rare blend of privacy, security and community. Franschhoek village, with its art galleries, wine estates and award-winning restaurants, is just minutes away, close enough to enjoy yet distant enough to feel entirely removed.
This is more than a home. It is a canvas that invites your vision. Thoughtful, refined and deeply rooted in the rhythms of the valley.
