New on the market in the wonderful Cape Winelands of South Africa, Tortoise Hill is listed for $4.8 million. A game preserve and recreational estate, the property is centered around a main residence built in 2014. In all, there are seven bedrooms and nine full baths and a half-bath, spread out over three residences; outdoors, 1,500 acres of private game reserve beckon in the heart of the Cape Winelands. Inside the main house, the scale and grandeur of the home are breathtaking. As for the surrounds, there’s a surreal experience of unspoiled Africa.

Named for the indigenous leopard tortoises often seen on the property, this magnificent estate features unique water features, ponds, and irrigated gardens. This part of Africa is a year-round treasure trove of wineries, farms, nature reserves, game parks, botanical gardens, and adventure sports. Harry Boden Photography
