Cape Victorian Mansion

We are proud to present by limited mandate this stately, Cape heritage home, the Baron Werdmuller Von Elgg residence, in the heart of the Cape Swartland's Wine and Olive route, a mere 40 mins from Cape Town!

The unique opportunity of acquiring this enchanting mansion, originating from the late 1800's represents both an aesthetic and lucrative investment, being the only preserved double storey in this region, known for its spectacular yellow canola fields during winter. The land was purchased from SA's 5th NG church founded at Malmesbury as the Cape Colony expanded inland and building materials were shipped and carted in, at great expense from England.

This jewel of Malmesbury, has had its splendid, original architectural detail, meticulously restored as well as enhanced by discreet improvements for modern comfort. The beautifully colour co-ordinated interior complements the stained glass windows, architraves and shuttered exterior. It boasts 5 air-conditioned bedrooms (9 aircons in total), 4 baths, 4 living rooms including cinema room, 6 marble fireplaces, study, stacker-doored breakfast room, 2-roomed gym, laundry, domestic room, terraces and expansive lawns complete with marquees and tree house. The socialite entertainer could entertain on a lavish scale or host garden events with the home as a backdrop . Space above the playroom/garage can be converted into a hospitality-associated workspace, be it photography, couture, yoga, or therapies.
It conveniently offers 888sqm on separate title, so that it could possibly be improved and disposed of or developed as a complementary annex to this gem.

The immaculate property with garden lighting is accessed through remote gates from 2 streets. Modern features like perimeter beams, a CCTV system with 19 cameras, an irrigation system, smart home control from mobile phone controlling of fountains, outdoor lights, spot lights, internal lights, dimmers and geysers enhance the opulent lifestyle.

With Riebeek Kasteel as neighbour and the Cape Town Airport 45 min away, this country manor house could be exactly what you've been looking for.
