Written by Shereen Lurie

We’ve put together a round-up of top featured homes featured online during 2022. These are the homes that received the highest number of views on the SA Home Owner website last year. Enjoy!

1. Sweet Sophistication

Familiar with this estate after moving here in 2016, these home owners were looking to build a larger home to accommodate their young family. 

“We were attracted to this estate for its private game reserve and wonderful outdoor lifestyle – walking, mountain biking and game trails. We wanted a secured estate with a good school on the property too,” shares the owner.

2. The Simpler Life

After 11 years in their former home in Johannesburg, this family decided to simplify their lives and relocate to the Cape, where they could focus on spending more time travelling and outdoors. “We wanted a lock-up-and-go in a safe estate where we could live in a minimalist environment.”

3. A Touch of Class

Sophisticated and minimalist in appearance, this home has so much to offer the home owners – spaces that are just as comfortable as they are trendy, high-end elements that take functionality to another level, and a gorgeous view that can be enjoyed from inside and outside the home. Beige, cream and champagne hues come together to create this classy home, but it’s the pops of dark colours and gold that make it stand out.

4. The Garden Route’s Gem

Escaping to the Garden Route was an easy decision when the owners set their eyes on this exquisite property on an exclusive golf, leisure and residential estate in Knysna. 

The location itself is a breathtaking expanse of natural beauty, with glimpses of the Indian Ocean in the distance – making it an ideal holiday home.

5. The Grand Escape

Unassuming from its simple and sleek exterior, this expansive triple-storey property comes across as a contemporary family home in the suburbs. However, there’s nothing ordinary about this home. With exquisite interiors showcasing the beauty of detail, this home is a true reflection of the home owners’ discerning taste in design.

6. The Village Beauty

Situated in a small seaside village along the south coast of KwaZulu-Natal, this beautiful sea-facing property is an idyllic holiday home for the whole family. 

After returning for many visits, the couple stumbled on this hidden gem – and this was the beginning of many getaways to the seaside.

7. Settling at the Coast

Retiring at the coast in a small town was always the plan for this couple, who now savour every day that goes by, enjoying endless views of the luscious greens nearby and peeping glimpses of distant sea blue.

 8. Where the Living is Easy

The owners designed and built this home with the needs of the family – and even their pets – in mind. It was important to integrate their love of braaiing and entertaining into every aspect of the home. With carte blanche to include features that reflect their interests, the home has a private gym and jacuzzi. “We love the luxury of being able to gym and use the jacuzzi in our home.”
