A sought-after property in Cape Town, the 1728, original ‘Belle Ombre’ farm and homestead is on the market in Constantia Upper for R35 million.

The Victorian-styled home is set on a corner plot of 5257sqm with dual access in the prestigious and sought-after pocket of the “The Avenues”, said Francois Venter, luxury property specialist with Seeff Southern Suburbs.

According to “The Great Houses of Constantia” by Philippa Dane and Sydney-Anne Wallace several changes were made to the property in the late 19These included adding a hearth , replacing the thatched roof with a flatter Welsh slate roof and adding two chimney stacks and changing the front façade to French windows. Some early characteristics remain such as original yellowwood beams and Oregon doors, but the parquet flooring was added at a later period.

These include French doors and sash windows, verandas, wooden floors, authentic fireplaces and the original farmhouse eat-in kitchen with a pantry and laundry. There are multiple living rooms, three bedrooms and an oversized loft room in the main house as well as a separate one-bedroomed cottage with a lounge and veranda which overlooks the tennis court.
