6 BEDROOM FURNISHED CONSTANTIA HOMESTEAD

Historic Constantia Homestead | Circa 1890
Timeless Heritage, Modern Comfort & Refined Country Living

Available July to October 2025, and again for long-term lease from April 2026, this rare Constantia estate offers a unique chance to reside in a beautifully restored Cape Dutch home. Originally built in 1890 as a wine cellar and produce depot for local farms, it blends historic charm with elegant modern living. Set in a peaceful, wind-sheltered setting, the property is surrounded by manicured gardens and mature trees, showcasing timeless Cape Dutch grandeur.

Main Residence:
The heart of the home is a fully equipped farmhouse-style kitchen, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, designed for both relaxed family cooking and effortless entertaining. It flows into a series of beautifully curated living areas, including:
