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.
