Nooitgedacht Estate
,
Stellenbosch
Description:
Nooitgedacht Estate is a Cape Dutch villa just minutes from the city. Exposed timber beams flow from the verandahs into the reception rooms and dining spaces, where high timber panelled ceilings, warm parquet and polished wood floors, full height mural panels and feature fireplaces create richly textured, camera ready interiors. Long axial salons lined with chandeliers and antique furnishings provide strong, photographable compositions, while generous suites — including a master with French doors to the verandah and a rustic stone walled guest room — offer intimate, characterful settings. The estate also includes a large events hall with high exposed trusses, arched glazing and a clear concrete floorplate suitable for large setups.
Outside Beyond the house, terraced courtyards, pergolas and a palm framed pool open onto expansive lawns shaded by century old oaks. The grounds extend to rolling vineyards, citrus and plum orchards, wild grass fields and a stand of forest, with a reflective dam and a historic 18th century manor house and outbuildings adding authentic old world atmosphere.
