Discover le coup de foudre — love at first sight — in this breathtaking 1,240m² estate that blends French countryside elegance with refined South African living. Tucked away privately on a 12,900m² stand in Emalahleni, this one-of-a-kind residence has been sculpted over 14 years with unwavering vision, meticulous detail, and artistic flair.

Drawing architectural inspiration from the Loire Valley châteaux of central France, the home is both striking and soulful, complete with its own private vineyard — a feature rarely found outside the Cape Winelands.

Inside, the home offers a generous and versatile layout:

• 4 exquisite bedrooms
• 3 breathtaking lounges, all with direct access to the garden and expansive patio
• Dedicated dining room perfect for elegant hosting
• Private office/study ideal for work or reflection
• 3 beautifully appointed bathrooms, each curated with timeless style
• Guest powder room downstairs
• A designer kitchen finished with artisanal detailing and functionality
• Fully self-contained domestic quarters for staff.
• A grand basement-style hall, complete with a fully functioning second kitchen and additional bathrooms — ideal for large family gatherings, wine tastings, or even small events

Step outside to immerse yourself in the romance of French living. A walled herb garden, private vineyard, fountain-adorned driveway, and a statement swimming pool invite serenity, while bespoke, globally-sourced furniture pieces reflect a life of travel and taste.

The property also includes massive garages with ample storage space, and every architectural element has been thoughtfully considered — from reclaimed barn doors and antique stone walls to terracotta roof tiles and a signature copper bathtub that speaks of luxury and nostalgia.

This is not just a home. It’s a legacy in the making — a lifestyle — a love story written in stone, light, and vine.
