This exceptional property enjoys an unrivalled location in one of the most sought-after
streets in Brandwacht Upper, Stellenbosch. Set on a large Erf of 2529 sqm high up on the
slopes of Stellenbosch Mountain, the architecturally designed residence in Brandwacht is
a sanctuary of tranquillity, engulfed in nature, with indigenous trees, abundant birdlife and
mountain views including Table Mountain.??In a rapidly developing Stellenbosch, this
property is indeed a rare find and has had only three owners since its original
construction.
Unique mature indigenous South African trees are growing in the lush garden which
supports stone walled walkways, garden lighting, as well as a seasonal mountain stream.
Three ponds with fountains add to the unique ambience of this property. Some of the
indigenous species include Podocarpus falcatus (Outeniekwa-geelhout), Celtis africana
(Witstinkhout), Olea africana (Olienhout), Cussonea capensis (Kiepersol), and
Syzygium cordatum (Waterbessie). One of the walkways leads to a separate vine covered pergola and braai area underneath mature trees.
The home with generous proportions was originally designed by an architect for his own
family. Ten years ago, it has been thoughtfully extended with the sensitive insight of well-known architect, Vernon Viljoen, to offer a generous indoor-outdoor living space, blending vintage charm with contemporary comfort, fit for the modern discerning family.
