Property Sales
Benguela Cove sits on 200 hectares between the R43 and Walker Bay. Over the last twenty years it has become a working wine estate, a community of homeowners, and a private sanctuary on one of South Africa's most striking stretches of coast. Ownership here is organised into five Collections, each offering a different relationship to the land. Plots are available in each. The right plot is the one that matches how you want to live, not the one that happens to be next on a list.

R10.5m.
THE HERITAGE ENTRY
Sits on the gentler pastures of the estate. Two
plots, each with full membership of the Benguela Cove community and all the
privileges that come with it. An accessible way into ownership here for those
who prize the lifestyle over the headline position.From R9.5m.

decades.From R9.5m.
