BUITENZORG C ONSTA N T I A , C A PE TOW N

Lavish living!

Set on six acres of equestrian paddocks and stables, rolling green lawns, oak, avocado and fig trees, English rose gardens, herb and vegetable patches, olive groves, citrus and apple orchards, two swimming pools, tennis court, guest cottage and a wild meadow – this hideaway declares sublime suburban living, in the heart of the Constantia winelands. The part-English, part-South African owners held a watchful eye on Buitenzorg for over 10 years, before finally purchasing the property in 2018. Alongside the works of reputable interior designer, Sarah Ord, they transformed the original homestead into a vibrant yet refined space, where frivolity meets finesse, colonial meets contemporary.

Using the charm of the old walls as a backdrop, they fervently parlayed their impressive art collection, creating a dynamic dialogue between signature pieces and heirloom furnishings.

From Vivienne Westwood and Paul Smith rugs cushioning the wooden floors, to Philip Briel, Ryan Hewett and Katherine Wood paintings adorning the walls. From the comfort of an Eames, a statement of the Barcelona and the fun of an Adelta Bubble chair to the fine carpentry of local craftsmen. Each room conveys a timeless sense of cohesion, between contemporary European and African art.
