Stellenbosch, Western Cape, Sudafrica

Tucked away in the tranquil village of Raithby, this beautifully renovated Cape Dutch-inspired home offers a rare combination: crisp modern comfort, timeless charm, and an unfiltered connection to nature. Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee on the patio or watching the sun set behind the Helderberg mountains, this is a space that feels grounded, generous, and effortlessly stylish.

Set on a spacious plot with both front and back covered patios, the home invites seamless indoor-outdoor living. Inside, light pours through two oversized sliding doors into the open-plan lounge and dining room, where a wood-burning fireplace anchors the space — ideal for winter evenings. The heart of the home, a trend-forward kitchen, is finished with sleek quartz counters, ample cabinetry, and new flooring throughout — every element considered, every detail refreshed.

Offering three comfortable bedrooms and two modern bathrooms, this home is perfectly balanced for family life, remote working, or slow weekends. A separate storage room and an additional outside room provide plenty of space for practical living, while a single garage and generous driveway ensure secure parking.

What makes this property truly special is its complete energy independence — a premium 10KW SunSynk inverter system, 20KW battery storage, and 16 solar panels mean you’ll enjoy an uninterrupted lifestyle with near-zero electricity costs. Security is state-of-the-art, giving you peace of mind whether you’re home or away.

The location couldn’t be more ideal — you’re just a 10-minute drive to Stellenbosch or Somerset West, and only 8 minutes from the esteemed Somerset College. Surrounded by iconic wine estates like Le Riche and Ken Forrester and local favourites such as 96 Winery Road and The Copper Kettle, your weekends are sorted.
