The Hedges has a way of capturing your heart long before you reach the front door.
A hedge-lined driveway gently leads you in, unfolding into a home that radiates warmth, elegance and an enduring sense of sanctuary.
With its classical English charm, enveloping gardens and quiet privacy, this Constantia treasure is more than a home — it’s a way of living beautifully, where balance, belonging and nature weave seamlessly together.
Steeped in history, The Hedges is one of Constantia’s oldest homesteads, said to have been built for Colonel Thorpe when the valley was still farmland.
Today, it stands as a celebration of heritage lovingly preserved. The current owners have reimagined the home with a deep respect for its character, pairing its classical architecture with thoughtful modern touches to create effortless, contemporary comfort.
At the centre of this beautiful transformation is the kitchen — now reconfigured as the heart of the home, flowing into the main living and entertainment areas. Sunlit reception rooms strike the perfect balance: generous for entertaining, yet intimate for family evenings.
Glass stacking doors extend the living space to the covered patio, pool and garden, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out. From upstairs bedrooms, mountain views frame the horizon, while downstairs offers flexible living with an en-suite bedroom, private lounge, plus multiple work-from-home or hobby spaces.
What makes The Hedges truly special is its relationship with the land.
Beyond the tall hedges and landscaped lawns lies a lovingly designed vegetable garden — a flourishing space that invites you to reconnect with the simple joy of growing your own food. Here, heritage meets sustainability: solar panels, an inverter, a borehole and the abundant garden all work together to create a home that further nurtures.
Tucked into a peaceful cul-de-sac, The Hedges offers not just privacy and security but a lifestyle few places can rival. World-renowned wine estates, award-winning restaurants, golf courses, horse-riding trails, cycling and greenbelt walks are all just minutes away. Families are especially well provided for with excellent schools nearby, including The American International School, Reddam House, Constantia Pre-Primary and Constantia Waldorf.
Cherished by generations, The Hedges is more than a home — it’s a place where life is lived fully, memories take root and the garden grows as beautifully as the people who live here. Now, it awaits its next chapter.
