Striking Contemporary Home with Unmatched Views in Riebeek Kasteel

Positioned on one of Riebeek Kasteel’s most desirable elevated stands, this exceptional five-bedroom home is defined by its sweeping, uninterrupted views—stretching across vineyards, olive groves, and iconic mountain ranges including the Kasteelberg, Piketberg, Groot Winterhoek, and even the distant peaks of the Cederberg. The outlook alone sets this property apart, but its thoughtful design and eco-conscious features take it to another level entirely.

A short walk from the heart of the village—known for its vibrant arts scene and artisan cafés—this home offers a rare blend of rural tranquility and walkable convenience. Designed with a contemporary barn-inspired aesthetic, the architecture balances rustic texture with clean, modern lines. Inside, double-volume ceilings, expansive windows, and a warm, minimalist interior create a sense of lightness and calm.

The upper level is the heart of the home, where a spacious open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area opens onto a deep balcony, perfect for early morning coffees or golden-hour sunsets. A closed-combustion fireplace adds warmth and atmosphere in the cooler months. The serene main bedroom features a full en-suite bathroom, generous dressing space, and tranquil views across the pool and indigenous garden.

Also upstairs are two unique studio-style bedrooms, each incorporating mezzanine levels—ideal for sleeping, study, or creative work. These bedrooms share a beautifully designed bathroom, with a separate guest WC nearby.

Downstairs, two additional en-suite rooms offer versatile living arrangements. One is ideal for guests or teens, while the fully self-contained flatlet—with its own entrance, kitchenette, and living area—offers income potential or extended family accommodation. A converted garage provides extra space for a home office, gym, or studio.
