JOHANNESDAL,
Stellenbosch, Cape Winelands Life is about how you see it. At Johannesdal, views are breathtaking and magnificent in every direction. From the slow sunrise into the valley to a festival of light dancing on the Groot Drakenstein mountains every evening, this small farm epitomises the light – and the life – fantastic. Set in the Stellenbosch winelands, its position is prime and the land size unusual for the area – not too big and not too small. At 2.4 hectares, Johannesdal is a swathe of intense natural beauty. The farmhouse is new and contemporary, with straight lines and timeless appeal. Step inside and it’s an eclectic blend of old worlde nostalgia and modern comfort with fresh farmhouse energy. The farmhouse comfortably accommodates nine people and there’s living space in abundance with breathe-easy interior volume too. It’s an ideal summer house with a long lap pool for dips and magnanimous gardens to enjoy – from both inside and outside the house. Winters are distinctly cold, but underfloor heating and a sprinkling of fireplaces keep the chill subdued. Dramatic mountain views are from every room and nook – and they are every changing, ever beautiful. The mighty Simonsberg is the majestic backdrop to the farmhouse and there’s a perennial river running through the property, as well as a bubbling freshwater spring. Add a borehole and fresh, clean water is in grand supply. So much water combined with fertile soil – and year round windless conditions – make this property ideal for fresh flower farming, along with many other options. Over 2 000 rose bushes and a myriad other floral varieties are being cultivated here, since the owners are professional florists and gardeners. Birds are everywhere and owls hoot at night. It’s a place of exceptional beauty. The space also epitomises complete privacy and peace. It feels like you’re a thousand kilometres from the nearest town, but in reality Stellenbosch is just 10 minutes’ drive and Franschhoek 15. Now being run as a self-catering luxury getaway, the farmhouse and property also have enormous tourism potential. Wine farms are neighbours and hiking and biking trails are all around. The current owners can continue flower farming with contractual agreement, or not. Best of all is that everything at Johannesdal is included: the magnificently appointed farmhouse and the greenhouses of flowers too. The owners will simply hand you the keys and it’s all yours to enjoy. With dramatically beautiful views and ever changing natural theatre to last a lifetime.
