Vrede Manor, a distinguished Milnerton residence, once home to the composer of the first televised opera, and a pristine example of South African architectural heritage, blending traditional Cape Dutch design with neo-Baroque interiors and modern contemporary art.
Commissioned in the late 19th century, Vrede Manor has been meticulously preserved, offering a rare fusion of history and modern comfort. The current owners have maintained its historical essence while thoughtfully integrating contemporary amenities and advanced energy solutions, presenting a unique opportunity to own a significant piece of South African history.
Situated on a half-acre plot, the property features high volume ceilings, original late-Victorian finishes, timber flooring, and expansive living spaces that exude both opulence and warmth. Reimagined with modern family living in mind, the manor offers a variety of spaces to host grand banquets and intimate gatherings.
Sunlight bathes the interiors throughout the day, enhancing the charm of its four bedrooms, three of which are complete with ensuite bathrooms. The outdoor areas are equally captivating, with a checkerboard patio, swimming pool and sunbathing pavilion, surrounded by mature trees and tranquil grounds that ensure privacy year-round.
The property also includes a semi-detached maisonette with a kitchen, ensuite, separate entrance, and secure off-street parking. Ideal for guests, extended family, live-in care, or short-term holiday lets.
Located on a highly desirable residential street, 10km from Cape Town city centre, Vrede Manor is perfectly situated for an active coastal lifestyle. The beach, Milnerton golf course, rowing, and tennis club are just a short walk away. This area of Milnerton and Woodbridge Island is highly sought after by families and professionals due to its proximity and easy access to Cape Town cbd, Bloubergstrand, the Winelands, and West Coast.
Vrede Manor’s historical charm is complemented by modern amenities, including an off-grid solar power system, smart irrigation technology, rainwater collection and storage, and a perimeter security system with personalised remote and gate access control.
The main kitchen features a gas hob and electric cooker, built-in bar, fridge, and dishwasher, as well as an adjacent scullery, pantry and laundromat.
More than just a prestigious home, Vrede Manor is a piece of Cape Town history, offering a unique living experience that beautifully blends past with present design. This is a rare opportunity to create lasting memories in a residence that embodies timeless elegance.
