Have you ever dreamed of living on a secure wine estate overlooking the ocean & surrounded by mountains, lavender fields and olive groves? Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate offers you the experience of luxury living and award winning wine. Just over an hour from Cape Town & 15 minutes from Hermanus, lie the vineyards of Benguela Cove, overlooking the rolling fairways of the neighbouring Arabella Estate.
Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate’s rare position ensures that Benguela residents enjoy majestic views over the lagoon to the Palmeit mountains, which form the spine of the Kogelberg Biosphere. The vineyards which have been planted across the estate, although young, have already asserted the quality of the terroir with awards starting to stream in on the maiden vintage. For those who love nature, this is the ultimate location.
Nestled between two gentle hills on the banks of the Botrivier Lagoon, lies the Benguela Cove Coastal Wine Estate. Located a leisurely one hour from Cape Town, 45 minutes from Cape Town International Airport and just 10km from the historical seaside town of Hermanus, the site enjoys majecstic views over the lagoon to the Palmiet mountains, which form the spine of the Kogelberg Biosphere.
Perfectly positioned to capture these panoramic views, the 210 Hectares of open land, formed by a large cove on the lagoon, offer just the right amount of seclusion and privacy. At the heart of the estate will be a productive wine farm housing a cellar where some of the region’s finest wines are to be produced.
THE ESTATE
Only 124 residential opportunities are available in Benguela Cove’s residential plan which has been designed by leading urban architects, dhk, to capture the essence of its rural nature and breath-taking views. By deftly combining the built and natural fabric, the development succeeds in retaining its charming, rustic character.
Sharing the estate with the residents is the 80 Hectare private wildlife reserve - Grey Rhebok, Duiker, Grysbok and other indigenous game roam freely through the ecologically significant Renosterveld Nature Reserve.
“The challenge was to create a place where people can live and enjoy all the benefits of a ‘Farm in Africa’ without the management worry or financial liability. This special place where people can create a home and unique privileged rural lifestyle, will be managed in a manner which will ensure long-term environmental and investment sustainability” - Developer Chris Drummond on his vision for Benguela Cove.
Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate is amongst just a handful of residential lifestyle estate developments in the Cape to have received full government approval to proceed as planned. Rarely does one find this perfect balance between nature and modern living. |
