House and Smallholding in Security Estate, Stellenbosch

A beautifully designed house with so much potential on a 4.3-hectare small holding within a security estate is a rare find in Stellenbosch. The lifestyle security estate offers enchanting views of Table Mountain, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Simonsberg Mountains in the east. Videira Estate is unique, as, due to subdivision legislation, it is virtually impossible to replicate such an estate today. It offers 10 freehold gentleman's farms, each measuring approx. 4 hectares, in a secure and monitored estate. The whole estate contains olive trees and open land on which vineyards are to be planted within the next few months.

Five double rooms, four bathrooms, and five well-proportioned living and entertaining areas lead onto an open-plan kitchen with a scullery and pantry. The 6th bedroom unit(downstairs) with en suite can easily be used as domestic quarters, a study, or a large playroom. Three bedrooms each have an en-suite bathroom. The other two bedrooms share a bathroom. The aluminium windows and doors are extra large, which allows for never-ending views, light, and sun all day.

The property is ideal for entertaining, with the open-plan kitchen and living spaces all leading out onto a large covered patio with a swimming pool. The kitchen has modern finishes and leads onto a scullery, which is adjacent to the double garage. The layout offers a sense of openness and comfort, with interleading doors to the outdoor patios, while also setting the tone for comforting winter days around the fireplace or just relaxing in the afternoon sun. Large trees and well-established gardens surround the house. The house offers a covered outdoor patio area with the most beautiful sunsets while the outdoor braai area is nestled in the enclosed back garden close to the kitchen and dining area. The house and garden are in immaculate condition and well looked after.

The house, nestled among olive trees, seamlessly blends natural beauty with modern conveniences, offering spacious living areas and essential amenities for a comfortable stay. The outdoor spaces provide idyllic settings for special occasions and outdoor events. The communal farming irrigation allows for the rights to two dams on the estate and to store water for irrigation of all 10 small holdings.

Videira Estate has the potential to be branded as one of the premium residential developments due to its terroir and the quality of wines produced by neighbouring farms such as Kanonkop, Warwick, Delheim, and Quoin Rock, to name a few. The farming (restricted to grapes and olives) can be outsourced or done by the owners, whichever they prefer. It provides a one-of-a-kind combination of location, privacy for each house owner, and farm life while still living on a secure estate.

There are also three permanent garden staff who attend to the communal areas and gardens. This has resulted in a marked upgrade of the verges, communal trees, etc.

The security system monitors any movements near the estate using infrared and optic cameras that are monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Solar panels power all strategic functions on the estate, including the gate, camera, and borehole. Serene environment at its best.
