About: The Lifestyle

Quality of Life: De Zalze Winelands Golf Estate in Stellenbosch is, quite simply, unique. Such rarity is obvious to those who prize the quality of life above all; to those who recognise how intimately health, happiness and well-being are linked to a safe home, an invigorating natural environment, and a culturally stimulating community.

Given the high level of local and international investment in golf estates in the Western Cape, and the excellent capital appreciation enjoyed by such investors within a very short period, the financial reasons why you bought at De Zalze are equally compelling.

A Sense of Space amongst the Vineyards: Located within a short drive from Cape Town, one of the world's favourite cities, but steeped in the rural tranquility of the Cape Winelands, no other real estate in the Western Cape offers residents as rich a combination of scenic beauty, architectural integrity, and sporting, outdoor and cultural advantages.

The 300ha De Zalze Winelands and Golf Estate is located on the eastern fringe of Stellenbosch and provides the town with its most prestigious residential precinct. It is just 20 minutes drive to False Bay’s pristine beaches and 30 minutes to the Cape Town International Airport.

The beauty and splendour of the Stellenbosch wine region is characterised by vineyards as far as the eye can see, majestic mountain ranges and unique fynbos vegetation.

A Rendezvous with the Past: The estate was designed to capture the essence and charm of our urban heritage as is evident in Stellenbosch and other historic villages of the wine-growing areas in Western Europe. The spirit and charm that is evident in these regions, with winding streets, gurgling fountains and indigenous gardens, run through De Zalze to create a special sense of place.

As such, a unique community has come into being here that enhances heritage and culture and generates well-being for all residents

Peace of Mind for All: The tranquil atmosphere and peaceful lifestyle at De Zalze Winelands and Golf Estate is ensured and secured by an electrified perimeter fence. The two access gates have 24-hour manned security and the estate is patrolled on an on-going basis and there is strict access control by telephonic communication between the gatehouse and each residence.
Residents can therefore stroll amongst the vineyards and fruit orchards, jog or cycle along the walking paths, bird watch or fly-fish in one of the many dams to their hearts’ content, without a care in the world.

A Magical Lifestyle: The layout of the estate is unique to the extent that the residences are clustered into individual villages and not spread out along the fairways. Each village has its own identity and offers something unique and special to our residents.

Some villages are in elevated positions and offer spectacular views of the vineyards and surrounding mountains and others nestle under historic Oaks along the banks of the Blaauwklippen River.

The estate as a whole is characterised by rolling vineyards, the towering Stellenbosch, Simonsberg and Helderberg Mountains, blue-green olive groves, brightly coloured lavender fields and corridors of precious fynbos with an abundance of birdlife.
