Modern Estate Retreat Surrounded by Nature and Tranquility
Inside, the home combines elegance with comfort. The two en-suite bedrooms are each fitted with a bath and a walk-in shower featuring luxurious shower columns, while ceiling fans ensure year-round comfort. The kitchen and lounge area flow seamlessly into one another, with a striking Italian marble-topped kitchen island in hues of deep blue and gold serving as the centerpiece. A large scullery with ample cupboard space keeps the living areas uncluttered.
Near the main entrance, a spacious study with large windows offers inspiring views over the vineyard and driveway: an ideal space for working from home or enjoying a quiet retreat. With its generous size, this room could just as easily serve as a comfortable guest bedroom when needed. The home is also fitted with fibre and Wi-Fi connectivity, ensuring fast and reliable internet access throughout.
The interiors are painted in rich, dark tones, creating an atmosphere that is at once sophisticated and warm. Two closed-combustion wood-burning fireplaces enhance the ambiance during cooler months, while wide glass doors open onto an expansive patio that spans the length of the home, linking the lounge, dining area, and both bedrooms. This design allows for exceptional indoor-outdoor flow, inviting nature into everyday living. From the home, you can enjoy tranquil views over the dam in the foreground, with the surrounding mountains providing a dramatic backdrop. Beneath the 18-metre patio lies a full-length wine cellar, already equipped with water and electrical points; an ideal space for entertaining, storage, or creating a bespoke wine collection to match the estate setting.
Practicality meets sustainability with a 15-kW solar system, inverter, and batteries, ensuring energy efficiency. For added peace of mind, the home is fitted with 8 CCTV cameras, all linked directly to your cell phone for remote monitoring. Even the three-car garage has been considered, complete with ceiling fans for ventilation and floor to ceiling storage cupboards.
Life at Mount Rhodes Estate combines natural beauty with modern convenience. Residents enjoy access to the estate’s vineyards, as well as walking, jogging, and mountain biking trails winding through the surrounding countryside. The estate offers a rural lifestyle with a boutique feel, tailored for the discerning buyer who values space, privacy, and understated elegance.
Set against the backdrop of the mountains with vineyards behind, the home offers a countryside lifestyle just minutes from Somerset West. The new Vergelegen shopping mall is only 5 minutes away, with Mediclinic and other amenities close by. Convenient access to the N2 makes Cape Town and the international airport within easy reach. The surrounding area is also renowned for its fine dining, with acclaimed wine estate restaurants and intimate bistros close at hand, offering everything from gourmet pairings to relaxed yet sophisticated country cuisine. Nearby you’ll also find an authentic German bakery and a German restaurant, perfect for enjoying fresh breads, pastries, and traditional cuisine.
This residence is more than just a home; it’s a place to live fully, surrounded by nature, with comfort and sophistication at the forefront. While the property does not offer sea views from ground level, there is potential for future owners to enjoy elevated outlooks with the addition of a second story.
Certain appliances are included in the sale, along with enough seasoned firewood to keep both fireplaces burning for the next five winters.
Viewing strictly by appointment.
