having been active in the die boord property market for many years, i know how increasingly difficult it has become to find vacant land of this size in such an established and sought-after residential neighbourhood. this substantial 1,154 m² erf presents a particularly appealing opportunity for someone looking to create a home of distinction in one of stellenbosch’s most desirable residential areas.
what immediately sets this property apart is its generous proportions and predominantly level topography, offering considerable flexibility when it comes to designing and positioning a new residence. whether you envisage an impressive family home with expansive gardens and outdoor entertainment areas, accommodation for an extended family, or potentially two separate dwellings, subject to the necessary municipal approvals, the possibilities are certainly worth exploring.
unlike many vacant stands, this property already enjoys the benefit of an established, mature garden. beautiful established trees create a sense of privacy and a tranquil, leafy atmosphere, providing an attractive setting around which to design your future home. the property also benefits from a borehole, offering a valuable supplementary water source for maintaining the garden, while existing security boundary walls enclose three sides of the erf.
from a property perspective, the combination of land size, favourable topography, established garden and location makes this a particularly attractive proposition. there is sufficient space to create a substantial private residence while retaining generous outdoor areas, or to investigate alter native accommodation and development possibilities, subject to municipal regulations and approvals.
die boord needs little introduction to anyone familiar with stellenbosch. it remains one of the town’s most established residential suburbs, appreciated for its mature trees, attractive streetscapes, convenient location and enduring residential appeal. families are particularly drawn to the area because of its proximity to leading schools, while stellenbosch university, mediclinic stellenbosch, shopping centres, restaurants, the town centre and surrounding wine estates are all within easy reach. access to the main transport routes is equally convenient.
i believe opportunities to acquire vacant land of this size in die boord are becoming increasingly scarce. for buyers who understand the value of location and appreciate the opportunity to design and build according to their own requirements, this erf deserves serious consideration.
an additional opportunity – acquire the adjoining property
there is also the particularly exciting option of acquiring the adjoining property as part of a combined purchase. this neighbouring property comprises a beautifully maintained family residence situated on a generous 1,276 m² erf, offering approximately 576 m² under roof. the home features spacious accommodation, quality finishes, excellent security, a swimming pool and extensive entertainment areas.
acquiring both properties would provide a combined landholding of approximately 2,430 m² in the heart of die boord. this opens up an exceptional range of possibilities, whether for an extended family estate, additional accommodation or a longer-term development opportunity, subject to the necessary municipal approvals.
