La Rochelle, Historical estate in Imbeza Valley, Zimbabwe
La Rochelle Estate occupies 108 hectares of land in the Eastern Highlands near the Mozambique border, featuring gardens, an arboretum, and indigenous bush lands.
Sir Stephen Courtauld and his wife Virginia built the house in 1951, bringing their collection of furniture and art from Eltham Palace in London.
Distinguished visitors engraved their signatures on the house windows, creating a permanent record of notable guests including politicians and artists throughout Zimbabwe's history.
The estate provides accommodation in individually designed suites within the historic Courtauld House and offers facilities for conferences, weddings, and special events.
The property maintains rare orchid houses containing exotic specimens, complemented by botanical gardens established with guidance from British horticulturist John Henry Mitchell.
