18 Olienhout Avenue, Ongegund Village, Riebeek Valley
There are houses – and then there are homes like this rare find. Private, peaceful, spacious, secure and thoughtfully designed, it offers spectacular views and an easy, natural flow.
Set high on the slopes of Kasteelberg in the tranquil Ongegund Village, this stylish home feels like a well-kept secret. Sweeping views stretch across the valley, with the eastern mountains framing the horizon. Mornings unfold gently here, and evenings linger a little longer.
Filled with natural light, the open-plan flow leads from the welcoming entrance hall to the bespoke kitchen and generous double lounge with a wood-burning fireplace. Aluminium sliding doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. A lush tree-lined garden at the front and an olive orchard at the back create privacy and seclusion, with plenty of room to add a cottage, studio or separate retreat with its own access.
The home offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms (main en suite) and a separate study, making it ideally suited to family life and remote working. The three front bedrooms open onto a vine-covered patio, a wide verandah and a softly splashing natural swimming pool – a calm, restorative setting.
Carefully renovated with sustainability in mind, the property includes an inverter backup system, solar geyser, excellent borehole and automated irrigation.
A well-balanced home that combines comfort, sustainability and space in an exceptionally peaceful valley setting. Ideal as a family retreat, a creative escape or a quiet sanctuary, just minutes from Riebeek West and the buzz of Riebeek Kasteel. The possibilities are yours to shape.
