Property description
Once the proud home of the Bremer family and birthplace of Karl Bremer in 1885—South Africa’s former Minister of Health—this historic West Coast farmhouse has been thoughtfully transformed into a stately, French-style guesthouse that blends heritage with grandeur.
Set just 1 hour from Cape Town (128 km), this elegant estate offers a rare opportunity for buyers seeking either a lifestyle change, a guesthouse investment, or a beautiful retreat to call home.
The main house boasts 8 spacious bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, complete with two kitchens, two lounges, and warm character throughout—think wood-burning fireplaces, an original AGA stove, and antique fittings including a 1910 fireplace. Comfort meets history here, with every corner telling a story.
Beyond the main house, a converted barn features 3 additional bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, ideal for guests or extended family.
Outdoor living is just as generous: a 12x5m saltwater pool, large pond, established gardens with an irrigation system fed by two boreholes, and serene spaces for entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful Hopefield countryside.
There’s also a cold room, laundry room, staff quarters, and garage—plus the property is WiFi-ready, making it ideal for remote work or individuals looking to escape the city without disconnecting.
Whether you envision continuing its legacy as a guesthouse, opening a wellness retreat, or creating a one-of-a-kind private residence, this property is bursting with potential.
This one truly must be seen to be appreciated.
