Sole Mandate – Luxury Off-Grid Eco-Retreat | Riebeek West, Western Cape

A sanctuary of privacy, innovation, and natural beauty — this luxury off-grid estate is a rare opportunity to acquire a secure eco-retreat spanning 8,005 m² of landscaped land. Designed for discerning buyers seeking exclusivity, sustainability, and serenity, this property blends modern design with the soul of the Riebeek Valley — one of the Western Cape’s most creative and scenic enclaves.

Grounds & Setting

Set within mature indigenous gardens conceived by award-winning landscape designers, the property has evolved over fifteen years into a botanical haven. Aloes, fever trees, proteas, and native flora intermingle with fruiting olive, lime, and Amalfi lemon trees — and even a pair of rare globe avocados.

Included in the purchase are two adjoining plots — a paddock plot and a vegetable-garden plot — each offering scope for further development or leisure use, while ensuring unrivalled privacy from every angle.

Perched high on the hill with panoramic mountain vistas, the estate enjoys its own private borehole, 25 000 litres of water storage, and the gentle sound of a stream and pond completing the tranquil ambience.

Refined Living & Intelligent Innovation

The residence fuses architectural sophistication with leading off-grid technology:

Three en-suite bedrooms, including a master suite with dressing area

Guest bathroom and versatile lifestyle rooms for wellness or creative pursuits

Full solar-battery system powering the entire property (including ten air-conditioners)

10 kW generator as secondary backup

Comprehensive mesh Wi-Fi and interior monitoring screens

State-of-the-art coded wristband security system, enabling seamless movement across the home, gardens, pool, pond, and paddock with total peace of mind

This system quietly underpins the property’s atmosphere of freedom, safety, and effortless luxury.

Additional Buildings & Expansion Potential

A separate structure contains:

Double garage (currently a gym and dance studio with mirrored walls)

Dedicated study overlooking a tropical garden vista

Storage room / security nerve centre

Approx. 300 m² of existing built area plus approved plans for an additional 200 m² offer outstanding scope for expansion at competitive build rates.

40 m² soundproofed music room and 14 m² speakeasy / wine cellar

Offering complete autonomy and timeless comfort, it represents a benchmark in off-grid luxury living for those who value privacy, beauty, and sustainability in equal measure.
