Rare Opportunity to Build in Tranquil Jonkershoek Valley

Needle in a haystack! Situated in one of Stellenbosch’s most desirable locations, this 521m² erf presents a rare chance to create your dream home in the heart of the lush and tranquil Jonkershoek Valley. Bordered by the Eerste River and surrounded by breathtaking mountain views, the setting offers a serene escape—just minutes from the prestigious Lanzerac Hotel & Spa, world-class hiking trails, mountain biking routes, and protected nature reserves. Important information as received by the seller includes the following: Currently, there are still structures on the plot which are in use. Once a sales agreement is reached, the buyer and seller will come to an agreement as to the date on which the plot should be vacant. The cost of demolition will be carried by the seller. That agreement will form part of the sales contract. The buyer will receive a fully serviced (water, electricity and sewage) empty plot, walled on 3 sides with brick walls. Wifi is easily accessible, as the connection point is close to the property. Although the title deed currently includes standard building line restrictions, these can be relaxed under the new Municipal Zoning Scheme Regulations. A simple application, along with basic building plans, can allow for building line adjustments to the permissible zoning setbacks—2.5m from the rear and sides, 4.0m from the street, and even 0m for outbuildings with neighbour consent. The seller already has approved building plans for their adjacent erf (a mirror image of the one on offer), based on these relaxed zoning parameters. The erf allows for a building footprint of approximately 260m² (50% coverage), and double-volume construction is possible should a buyer wishes to maximise the floor area. Perfect for families and outdoor enthusiasts, the property is ideally located within walking distance of leading schools, Stellenbosch University, and premier sports facilities. Children can still walk or cycle to school, enjoy the safety of quiet tree-lined streets, and grow up in a warm, community-oriented neighbourhood. Located within a special rates area, the erf benefits from enhanced 24-hour security, ensuring peace of mind for you and your family. The seller has committed to removing existing structures, clearing trees, and tidying the pool area according to the new owner’s preferences—offering a pristine canvas for your vision. Don’t miss your chance to secure this one-of-a-kind property in the heart of Stellenbosch.
