The Val du Lac estate sits in a fertile valley protected by stunning mountains, and the pristine nature preserves of South Africa’s Western Cape region. This equestrian’s dream occupies over 24 hectares (60 acres) of the vineyard-lined Franschhoek Valley, just 40 minutes from the center of Cape Town.

The paneled library reveals the attention to detail and fine craftsmanship that went into this extraordinary home. No expense was spared in either the construction or furnishing of the home. Courtesy of Val du Lac estate
