There is a place that encapsulates everything that every development in the Cape Winelands claims to be, but that none embodies.
A place where luxury living encompasses health, wealth, adventure, work, fine dining and community – where every detail is meticulously crafted to offer an experience unlike any other.
Welcome to Devonbosch, the most ambitious, daring and transformative mixed-use development in the Western Cape, if not all of South Africa.
A visionary project set to elevate, redefine and revolutionise the industry.
While others talk about it, Devenbosch is delivering it on a scale unmatched and with unprecedented boldness.
The bold vision unveiled
Devonbosch is a revolution in playing, working and living. Spanning over 80 hectares with approved rights for 108 000 square metres and anticipated rights for an astounding 665 000 square metres, this development is monumental.
Over the next 25 years, with an estimated investment of R30 billion, the developers behind Devonbosch are crafting a new town, a new Stellenbosch, a true smart city on the urban edge.
While esteemed estates like Delaire Graff, Val de Vie and Pearl Valley have set the bar for luxury, Devonbosch is raising it to unprecedented heights.
The development is delivering the first true mixed-use luxury product in the heart of the Winelands, combining residential excellence with commercial vibrancy and unparalleled recreational facilities.
Most estates and developments in the Winelands offer some of the features, amenities, sustainability and lifestyle some of the time. But none provides all of it, and more, the way Devonbosch does.
This is luxury living reimagined, where every element is designed to offer an extraordinary experience.
A mixed-use luxury product like no other
Devonbosch stands apart due to its consistent focus on the collective over individual segments. It’s a place where luxury residences, state-of-the-art offices, niche commercial spaces and world-class recreational facilities are intricately woven into the fabric of the community.
At the heart of Devonbosch’s allure is its architectural innovation. The development enlisted the genius of renowned architects like Henri Comrie and Dr Ludwig Hansen to bring this vision to life. Their combined expertise is reshaping the landscape, setting new benchmarks for sustainable and community-focused urban design.
Henri Comrie, celebrated for his minimalist approach that resonates globally, brings a level of sophistication and elegance that is simply unmatched. His designs are works of art that engage with design in all its dimensions.
Dr Ludwig Hansen adds another layer of brilliance with his visionary urban planning, ensuring that Devenbosch is not just beautiful but also functional and future-proof.
The homes are masterpieces of design and comfort, meticulously crafted with your lifestyle in mind. From stunning one-, two- and three-bedroom designer apartments to luxurious penthouses, each residence features high ceilings, double-glazed windows and eco-friendly materials.
Interiors boast off-shutter concrete soffits, high-end porcelain tiles and premium appliances that are both elegant and environmentally conscious.
Moving from living to working, Devonbosch is a hub for entrepreneurs, creatives and businesses, offering flexible co-working spaces, innovation hubs and A-class offices. With top-notch connectivity and an atmosphere that fosters productivity and collaboration, it’s the perfect place to take your ventures to new heights.
For those who prefer an active lifestyle – adventure awaits around every corner. From the GOAT Mountain Bike Trail, and Mini GOAT Trail Running Trail to golf at the Devonvale Golf course, extreme golf as well as e-foiling on pristine dams, Devonbosch offers a diverse array of recreational activities.
Fitness enthusiasts can enjoy the Unlocked Fitness Gym and Extreme Golf while families can partake in activities like Little Kickers for budding football stars.
And when it comes to culinary delights, visitors and residents can indulge in mouth-watering experiences at establishments like SuperSconto Italian Restaurant and Ischia Authentic Italian Cuisine. Whether you’re savouring gourmet dishes or enjoying a casual meal with friends, the dining options at Devonbosch cater to every palate.
Introducing KLEI Hotel: A new benchmark in hospitality
One of the crown jewels of Devenbosch is the introduction of KLEI Aparthotel, the first-ever bespoke Aparthotel in the Winelands, operated by Totalstay.
The KLEI Aparthotel offers a seamless blend of urban sophistication and rural tranquillity, providing guests with an unforgettable experience that caters to both local and international visitors, as well as digital nomads.

School of Rock: Amplifying the cultural pulse
Adding to the vibrancy of Devonbosch is the much-anticipated opening of the School of Rock, the internationally acclaimed music education franchise.
The School of Rock is a revolutionary approach to music education that has turned the traditional model on its ear. By teaching kids to play and perform the songs that inspire them, the school fosters a love for music that transcends the classroom.
The inclusion of the School of Rock in Devonbosch enriches the community’s cultural landscape, offering children and adults alike a platform to discover their talents, build confidence and find a sense of belonging.
Like the rest of Devonbosch, it creates a space where creativity thrives and dreams take flight.
Innovative features redefining living
One of the groundbreaking innovations at Devonbosch is the super-basement concept – a vast underground parking and logistics network that removes vehicles from the surface level.
This enhances safety, reduces noise and pollution and creates a pedestrian-friendly environment.
No more dodging traffic or searching endlessly for parking. Instead, you can stroll through beautifully landscaped areas, safely connecting with nature and your community.
Residents living the dream
The true testament to Devonbosch’s success lies in the experiences of its residents.
Tiaan Beukes, a young entrepreneur, embodies the PLAY / WORK / LIVE ethos. He chose to establish his life and business within the community, launching Unlocked Fitness Gym, a hub for wellness enthusiasts.
‘It’s where work, wellness and community come together, offering the perfect balance between nature and convenience,’ shares Tiaan. ‘It’s also where I decided to start my gym, making it the heart of my passion and purpose.’
Alan and Wendy Field found Devonbosch the perfect setting for their retirement – a place that combines tranquillity with opportunity.
‘We purchased for two reasons. First, it presented an exciting opportunity to get into a market outside the mainstream of Cape Town but still close enough for convenience. The potential for growth and to upgrade our investment at Devonbosch was appealing,’ explains Alan.
‘The facilities are extensive. With the e-foiling dam and my interest in e-foiling, I can engage almost daily right on my doorstep. There’s also a brilliant cycling track, running trails and gym facilities. It’s what I would describe as a PLAY, WORK and LIVE environment,’ he continues.
A catalyst for economic growth
Devonbosch is ultimately a powerful engine for economic prosperity in the Winelands.
With an estimated economic contribution of over R34 billion and the creation of approximately 132 000 jobs over its development period, the development is making a significant impact on the region’s growth.
Devonbosch’s commitment to stimulating economic activity extends to uplifting surrounding communities through strategic partnerships and initiatives.
By investing in bulk infrastructure services in the underdeveloped Koelenhof area, the development is paving the way for future developments and improving the quality of life for all residents – inside as well as outside the immediate sphere.
Sustainability at its core
When it comes to sustainability, Devenbosch stands as a beacon of environmental stewardship. Its commitment aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on health, education, reducing inequality and promoting economic growth while addressing climate change and food security.
The development’s buildings are designed with energy efficiency in mind, incorporating solar power, smart technologies and sustainable materials. Devenbosch is creating off-grid capable neighbourhoods that reduce reliance on municipal services, thereby lowering living costs and environmental impact.
Water conservation and waste management systems are implemented to ensure a minimal environmental footprint.
Strategic location with unparalleled access
Located on the urban edge of the Stellenbosch district, Devonbosch offers the serenity of the Winelands without the congestion typically associated with urban centres.
Residents and visitors enjoy effortless connectivity to major roads like the N1, quick access to the Winelands Airport, as well as proximity to Stellenbosch and the Bottelary Link.
Even though location and accessibility are important, it’s really the breathtaking environment that surrounds Devonbosch that sets it apart.
Unobstructed vistas of the Simonsberg Mountains and surrounding vineyards provide a daily backdrop of natural beauty. Here, you’re experiencing the Winelands in its full glory, without the traffic jams, overcrowded population and frustration that comes from living in the city or a town.
Expanding horizons
When it comes to the future, Devonbosch is not stopping here. The development has ambitious plans that will further enhance the quality of life for its residents and the broader community.
It’s planning to establish schools and even a university within Devonbosch, making it a hub for learning and innovation. Education is the cornerstone of community growth, and Devonbosch is committed to providing top-tier facilities that nurture future generations.
Access to quality healthcare is also essential, which is why Devonbosch is introducing medical facilities that ensure residents have the best care right at their doorstep, for ultimate peace of mind.
As part of its future vision, the development’s retail offerings are expanding, providing a diverse array of shopping experiences that cater to every taste and need. From boutique stores to larger retail centres, the convenience of having such amenities close by adds to the appeal of Devonbosch as a self-sustaining community.
Finally, Devonbosch is placing a strong emphasis on arts, fitness and overall well-being. By integrating spaces for artistic expression, fitness centres and wellness facilities, the mixed-use development is ensuring that residents can pursue a balanced and enriched lifestyle.
An unparalleled investment opportunity
For discerning investors, Devonbosch represents an unmatched opportunity. According to the latest report from New World Wealth, the Franschhoek-Paarl-Stellenbosch area is now home to 3 200 South African dollar millionaires, marking it as the fourth-largest concentration of ultra-wealthy individuals in the country.
This influx is driven by factors such as quality of life, robust infrastructure and a thriving community – all elements epitomised by Devonbosch.
