Description

The Residence is a spacious, luxury villa in the heart of the Cape winelands, South Africa. Located in between Franshhoek, Paarl and Stellenbosch, about 60km from the Cape Town Waterfront and 45km from Cape Town Internationally airport.

Ideal for family gatherings or groups of friends, this spacious 6-bedroom property is conveniently located less than an hour from Capetown and all of its exciting attractions, plus close to so many top winelands wineries, restaurants and other attractions.

This property has been beautifully decorated, bringing all the comforts and facilities that modern life can offer while maintaining its traditions. You will enjoy the tranquility of the farm, having lovely walks, or just enjoying the beautiful view of the mountains while tasting the great varieties of wines from the property!

Vrede en Lust has a wine farm since its founding in 1688. The first vineyards were planted in 1691 and the modern winery completed in 2002. You will be delighted with the curiosities, delicious flavors, and aromas this wine region offers!

The origins of this property date back to 1688, when the then Governor of the Cape assigned this 60-hectare farm to the French Huguenot Jacques de Savoye. During the last 334 years, the property has had many ups and downs. The Buys family became its 17th owners in 1996.

The first Sunday trade in the Cape colony is believed to have occurred at Vrede en Lust due to the first Protestant church built on the property.

At short distances, you will find a variety of possibilities, from beautiful hike paths to exciting water sports. The nearby beaches with perfect waves are a paradise for those who love surfing!

Cape Town is a glittering metropolis juxtaposed with one of the world's most breathtaking natural landscapes. You'll fall in love with this city's khaki-colored beaches, rolling vineyards, sizzling cuisine, thriving nightlife, and, of course, the spectacular Table Mountain.
