ENCHANTING VINEYARD-STYLE VILLA IN TURTLE CREEK ESTATE

JOINT MANDATE

You enter through the 24-hour manned gate of Goose Valley Golf Course and wind along fynbos-lined roads until mature landscaped groves and cascading gardens welcome you into the lush embrace of Turtle Creek Estate. Your idyllic villa lies ahead, its terracotta-tiled roof rising behind stone and wrought iron walls with towering cypress trees outlining the grounds—every detail echoes the enchanting romance of vineyard-style architecture. Parking in the four-car garage, you step through glass double doors into a rosebush-lined archway, where stone columns and draping bougainvillea frame the view of a shimmering stone-edged pool. The archway guides you onward, past branching hidden courtyards and an exterior bathroom for poolside convenience, until the grand timber front doors swing open.
Inside, the entryway ceiling soars overhead, with exposed trellises and a gorgeous calla lily stained-glass window that casts a dreamy aurora where the sunlight beams through. On either side are passages that lead to bedrooms with built-in storage, en-suite bathrooms, and glass doors that open to the courtyard. You pass a guest cloakroom on your left and enter the open-plan living space, where a tea lounge ahead features exquisite floor-to-ceiling floral curtains that frame the view beyond: a manicured fairway with a glistening pond, rolling emerald hills, and misty mountains in the distance. With its northwest orientation, the home is bathed in warm sunlight throughout the day, sheltered from prevailing winds, and offers a rare vantage point for vivid sunset displays.

To the left of the living space, a generous dining area leads to an elegant kitchen with an electric hob, double oven, and rosé-hued granite that sweeps across both the countertops and an island that’s wrapped by the view. A scullery is tucked neatly behind, with ample storage and integrated appliances—including laundry facilities—concealed behind seamless cupboard facades. To the right of the living space, a spacious lounge features both a stylish chiminea and a traditional wood-burning fireplace that can enhance every evening with warm ambiance, and glass doors open to a pillared porch with a built-in braai for seamless entertaining.

Back in the entryway, you take a moment to decide whether to climb the staircase or take the integrated lift to the upper floor, where the calla lily stained-glass glows at eye level and a balcony overlooks the space below. A guest cloakroom services an elevated TV lounge with glass doors to a balcony that floats into the view. The master bedroom lies to the left—complete with a walk-in closet with built-in cabinetry, an en-suite bathroom with double vanities and a luxurious clawfoot tub, and an arched entry to the balcony—while to the right, a second en-suite bedroom nearly mirrors the master’s layout.
Tucked discreetly to the side of the home, stairs lead to a spacious under-house level brimming with untapped potential. With a bit of creative vision, this blank canvas could be transformed into an atmospheric wine cellar and elegant tasting room—perfect for displaying prized vintages and hosting intimate gatherings.

Turtle Creek Estate lies tucked just beyond the gates of Goose Valley Golf Course, making this home a dream for golf enthusiasts who relish zipping to the clubhouse in their own golf cart to enjoy the pristine fairways and shared camaraderie. The world here feels wonderfully tucked away, yet you’re only an eight-minute drive from the heart of Plettenberg Bay, offering an ideal blend of seclusion and convenience.
