Amidst this influx, luxury living is complementing and actively propelling the economic growth of the Winelands. At the heart of this evolution stands Devonbosch, a revolutionary development redefining what it means to live luxuriously in harmony with nature.
A Nod to the Pioneers of Luxury

Similarly, Alan and Wendy Field found Devonbosch the perfect setting for their retirement – a place that combines tranquillity with opportunity. Alan explains their decision to move:
“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.”
He continues, “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.”
Alan’s experience highlights the comprehensive amenities that make Devonbosch ideal for those seeking an active and fulfilling lifestyle. “Being able to pop out my door and have a top-class restaurant, a great coffee shop, and be just minutes from Stellenbosch is truly something you can only appreciate by living here,” he adds.
