A Captivating South Africa Villa with an Established Olive Orchard and Vineyard Wants $5.25M

This absolutely stunning villa set amongst farmland and the mountains is a countryside dream in South Africa. Listed for R95,000,000, which is roughly $5.25 million, the five-acre retreat is ready to welcome a buyer with manicured charm, airy interiors, and land that serves a purpose.

Coming up the driveway reveals a plethora of regal sights, with lush gardens all around, a productive olive orchard to the south, and a Merlot vineyard to the north that produces 4,000 bottles per year. Arriving inside the villa itself, finishes like wood beams, marble fireplaces, and archways make for a rustic yet contemporary atmosphere. Open-concept living spaces flow seamlessly into a modern kitchen, along with a large dining room for dinner parties with your own reserve wine on hand. The pièce de résistance may be the exquisite conservatory awash with beautifully paned windows, a space that quietly urges you to host a lovely weekend brunch or read for hours on a Saturday morning. Throughout the home, there are eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms, with some of these suites opening out to their own private balconies to create the essence of a five-star resort.

While the winters in South Africa don’t get too chilled, the summers can certainly get hot and humid. When it’s time to cool off, a perfect outdoor entertaining space and pool look out onto the mesmerizing natural vistas. There’s no need to drive anywhere for a nature walk or trail, as this property’s acreage provides more than enough space for meandering.
