Val de Vie Estate, Luxury residential estate in Paarl, South Africa
Val de Vie Estate is a residential development in Paarl, South Africa, spreading across extensive grounds with mountain views and comprising houses, apartments, and leisure facilities. The estate includes polo fields, golf courses, riding trails, and a wellness center integrated into its overall design.
The estate began construction in 2014 as a response to growing demand for gated communities in South Africa. It expanded gradually and now covers several residential neighborhoods and sports facilities.
The name Val de Vie comes from French and means valley of life, referring to the winemaking heritage of the region. Polo matches and equestrian competitions regularly draw spectators who gather on the lawns and experience the tradition of South African equestrian culture.
Prospective buyers can view properties through three sales offices located at The Yard Wellness Centre, Berg River Gate, and Pearl Valley Clubhouse. The estate is accessible only to residents and their guests, with visitors needing to register at entrance gates.
The estate preserves 42 kilometers (26 miles) of mountain bike routes and 21 kilometers (13 miles) of jogging trails that wind through residential areas and merge into the surrounding landscape. Some trail sections follow old farm roads once used for winemaking transport.
