Owloon Estate
Owloon’s story begins in the late 1700s; long centuries of heritage which are subtly reflected in the sensitive renovation and reimagining that has transformed Owloon into one of the Cape’s most talked-about exclusive-use luxury villa destinations.
With graceful Cape Dutch gables and traditional whitewashed walls, Owloon pays homage to the vernacular architecture of the Winelands while embracing a bold, contemporary vision. It’s a place where the charm of tradition meets the sophistication of modern luxury, creating a retreat imbued with a profound sense of place.
Indoors, acclaimed interior designer Clinton Savage has infused Owloon with a thoroughly modern aesthetic. Informed by a sense of bespoke opulence, at Owloon texture, craftsmanship and an eye for detail are a golden thread, from the imported French Oak flooring and custom-made furniture pieces to statement lighting installations and polished Zimbabwean marble adorning the lavish en-suite bathrooms. On the walls, engage in a celebration of creativity with selected pieces from the owner’s extensive personal collection of art.
In the soaring ceilings and elegant sash windows the décor has been curated to work in seamless harmony with the idyllic country locale, allowing a sense of natural beauty, fresh Winelands air and vineyard vistas to flood the space, encouraging you to pause, exhale, and relax. Surrender to the serenity.
Surrounding the Manor House and Heritage Cottage, landscaped gardens of indigenous flora are the work of horticultural designer Alan Dawson, whose eye for flow effortlessly melds the gardens with the surrounding farmlands and diverse ‘fynbos’ of the Cape Floral Kingdom.
Follow the stone steps from the manicured lawns to discover the heart of this tranquil Cape Winelands estate: the spring-fed swimming dam where refreshing crystal-clear waters invite you to dive into the essence of Owloon; a timeless blend of history, luxury, and natural beauty.
