Welcome to a once -in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a property with guesthouse zoning—where heart and purpose have shaped every brick, beam, and breathtaking view. Set on 4 hectares of gently elevated land on the western side of Bloemfontein, this extraordinary estate is more than a home — it is a living story. A story written over 7 years of meticulous planning, 7 years of masterful building, and 7 years of flourishing vision, all rooted in love, passion, and a dream to create something truly timeless. Today, this dream can be yours. A Residence Like No Other Perched like a private villa on a hill, the main residence offers panoramic sunset views that bathe the garden in gold every evening. The moment you step into this sanctuary, you're met with an air of understated luxury and soul. Boasting six spacious bedrooms and four beautifully designed bathrooms, the home caters effortlessly to multi-generational living or luxury guest accommodation. The flowing entertainment areas spill out onto expansive verandas, patios, and a shimmering pool—a setting that feels more Mediterranean than Free State. Two of the bedrooms, along with their own bathroom, kitchen, lounge, and patio, form a fully self-contained flatlet—ideal for guests or private use. A charming one-bedroom flatlet with its own patio, tucked beside the main house, offers additional potential as a rental unit or extended family suite. A Business. A Lifestyle. A Legacy. Step down to the lower section of the estate, and you're transported to what feels like a small European village nestled in the Free State landscape, where the well-known French Market has been hosted for the past 17 years. There lies a thoughtfully designed collection of versatile spaces, with layout and infrastructure that reflect both creative vision and functionality. These areas were lovingly developed to support gatherings, community, and shared experiences—and now offer endless potential for those with entrepreneurial flair. Whilst the guesthouse zoning is in place for the top part of the estate, building plans are in place to convert the existing layout of the lower section into a second dwelling. Alternatively, the current spaces can be utilized “as is” at the owner’s own discretion. Some of the facilities include: • A beautifully designed space perfect for weddings, functions, corporate retreats, or boutique events. • A cozy café style kitchen and dining area, set around a quaint courtyard featuring a fountain and swimming pool. • An additional kitchen and a wood-fired pizza oven, ideal for authentic gatherings. * • Expansive entertainment hall with a majestic fireplace—ready for intimate gatherings, workshops, festive celebrations or fireside storytelling sessions. • A peaceful pond for ducks and geese • A huge, shade-netted vegetable garden • Multiple outbuildings and storage sheds to support operational or personal needs Whether you continue with the current facilities or pivot your own dream future business, this estate holds remarkable potential – all within a setting rich with charm, infrastructure and inspiration. Independent Living: Powered for the future In a world where independence and sustainability are invaluable, this estate offers true peace of mind: • 16 x 5 000L water tanks and a borehole • A powerful 12kW inverter, 15kWh battery, and 12 x 6.6kWp solar panels as well as 12 x 550W solar panels • A 60kVA diesel generator with ATS and DSE controller to ensure complete backup during load-shedding Wait, there’s more! The full purchase prices includes ALL furniture and equipment currently in place at the lower section of the estate —from appliances to décor to the generator and complete solar setup. Move in, take over, or evolve the dream without starting from scratch. Your Invitation to Legacy: This is more than a property. It is a legacy, a lifestyle and a living story, a breathing canvas for your vision – whether personal, professional, or both! If you have discerning taste, a sense of purpose, and R16 million to invest in more than just bricks and mortar, this estate will speak directly to your heart. Schedule your private tour today. Come walk the gardens, feel the sunset on your skin, hear the fountain’s whisper, and imagine what your next chapter in this story could look like.
