LE COUP DE FOUDRE (love at first sight!)

There are a lot of properties in the world that make a statement. Some are brash, some bold, while others are simply brilliant.

But, right now, on 1ha in the heart of Emalaghleni Mpumalanga, is a place that has emerged over 12 years of confident design married with passion and purpose. It excels in its understatement. Hidden from town, the house and landscape – treated as one – fosters a respect for nature, for space, for light and air. There, everyday moments are celebrated, and that place is “La Mas de Joao”.

The Chateau, currently on the market for R12 million, is reminiscent of Chateaux in the Loire Valley in Central France and even has its own vineyard – a phenomenon almost exclusively reserved for property in the Cape and more specifically the Cape Winelands region. With a private vineyard and a sense of style –This unusual, one-off French Country House with its authentic rustic charm is a real family home - simple, comfortable, and filled with truly unexpected inspired pieces.

The house combines the advantages of being very close to the center of town with the charm of the countryside.

Completely original creation – a warm and vibrant paradise celebrating country style – the joy of living simply.

The chateau is situated on 1 ha of land, offers 10 000m2, endless space, and has its own private vineyard and underground cellar.

The living areas are spacious and free-flowing, making for superb entertaining and the house has its own spacious wine cellar that is big enough for family banquets, parties, and weddings.

With its authentic rustic charm and carefully antique materials, stone walls, architectural elements, moss-covered terra-cotta roof tiles, salvaged doors, and reclaimed barn beams – to bring warmth and texture to the luminous plastered and stone covered walls. At La Mas de Joao, the color palette consists of neutrals and peaceful pastels, both the home and garden is a treasure trove filled with unexpected inspired pieces such as a copper bathtub and interesting furniture and fittings collected by the owner’s when traveling abroad.

The home is a completely original design and the four beautifully designed and decorated bedrooms are nothing short of 5-star suites. The farm-style kitchen comes with state-of-the-art equipment such as Lacanche and Aga stoves.

There is also a scullery, laundry, and pantry, all over fireplaces for winter nights, a big veranda for family feasts, and staff accommodation.

The landscape is lush, the ambiance idyllic! A garden professionally landscaped and planted with a wide variety of Mediterranean plants that can survive the hot summers and stony terrain and the smell of lavender, roses and aromatic herbs, leaves you intoxicating. The garden has also two boreholes, an irrigation system, JoJo tanks, and a chicken coop.

In short, this house is a delight to live in – the enviable result of Anthony and Yvonne Joao’s collaboration and creativity is the relaxed elegance of their French-inspired Country House – a passion and a way of life.
