Guesthouse for sale in Franschhoek

Timeless Country Charm in the Heart of the Village
La Rive is a beautiful and unique property set in the absolute heart of the village, offering the charm of a classic country home with the ease of modern living. While not historic, it features a thatched roof, exposed beams, original wooden floors, sash windows with wooden shutters, and authentic doors with brass handles throughout.
The magnificent country kitchen blends contemporary finishes with character and flows seamlessly into generous living spaces and outdoor entertainers' patios. The main bedroom suite is located on the ground floor, with a luxurious en-suite bathroom including a brass bath, double basins and walk-in shower. Upstairs are two spacious en-suite bedrooms set beneath the thatch with skylights.
The property is exceptionally versatile, with additional en-suite suites in both the north and south wings, multiple garages, a separate two-bedroom unit above the three-car garage, and further staff, laundry and storage facilities — ideal for private living or guest accommodation.
La Rive has recently undergone a comprehensive restoration, carefully executed to preserve its charm.
With ample opportunity for expansion and an unrivalled central village location, La Rive is a rare and compelling offering — rich in character, space and potential.
