Prime Franschhoek Smallholding with Enviable Upper Valley Position.
Exclusive Mandate. Patrysfontein, a 6,663sqm smallholding on the renowned Middagkrans Road in Franschhoek, presents an exceptional opportunity to own a coveted piece of the Franschhoek valley. Framed by the iconic vineyards of Haute Cabriere and La Petite Ferme, the property enjoys sweeping, uninterrupted views across the upper Franschhoek valley, embodying the essence of tranquil country living in one of the region’s most exclusive locations.
The agricultural zoned land itself is well-suited for boutique viticulture, offering ample space for cultivating a private vineyard, if so desired. A reliable borehole ensures sufficient water for both domestic and agricultural needs, while an ornamental, gravity-fed dam adds water security if needed.
The main residence spans 924sqm, blending classic country architecture with practical, modern design. The spacious layout includes an open-plan farm-style kitchen that flows seamlessly into expansive living and dining areas, ideal for both casual family living and larger gatherings. The home also features a library, an open mezzanine study, and a large, covered veranda that wraps around the house, offering a variety of outdoor living spaces to take in the picturesque views.
The accommodation is both private and versatile, with four en-suite bedroom suites providing ample comfort for residents and guests. A separate, self-contained caretaker’s apartment offers further accommodation and the option to incorporate it into the main house, if desired. In addition, a 49sqm guest cottage provides independent accommodation, perfect for short-term rentals or as a private retreat. The pool, situated near the dam, offers panoramic valley views, creating a peaceful and inviting outdoor oasis.
Originally constructed in the 1990s, the colonial-style buildings underwent extensive renovations about 10 years ago, and the interiors have recently been refreshed. The former stables, now repurposed as garden sheds, can be reconverted and the dam can be turned into a paddock or arena if required.
Patrysfontein is equipped with essential infrastructure, including Eskom electricity and two backup diesel generators, ensuring uninterrupted power. The property can easily be expanded to accommodate nine guest suites, making it an attractive prospect for those looking to create a guesthouse or boutique hotel, and capitalizing on the prime location in Franschhoek’s upper valley.
Whether sought as a residential retreat or a high-end hospitality venture, this smallholding offers the perfect blend of prime positioning, natural beauty, and development potential, making it a unique and valuable opportunity in the Franschhoek market.
