The promise of tomorrow lies in Val de Vie – the Valley of Life. Embark on the next chapter and discover a life worth living.
Conveniently located between the historic towns of Paarl and Franschhoek, lies Val de Vie Evergreen, the only retirement facility of its kind nestled within a greater residential estate.
Val de Vie Evergreen is centrally positioned in Val de Vie Estate, rated South Africa’s top residential estate in 2015, 2016 and 2017 by New World Wealth. In partnership with Evergreen Lifestyle, one of South Africa’s leading retirement brands, this exclusive facility promises a carefree retirement. Val de Vie Evergreen affords the opportunity to grow older with style, comfort and ease in one of the most beautiful and secure settings in the country.
Recreating the open-door lifestyle of yesteryear, Val de Vie Evergreen offers a unique blend of luxury homes, built to provide great views of this picturesque corner of the Winelands. Cape Town, the international airport and some of South Africa’s finest attractions are in close proximity to Val de Vie, the distance comparable to that of Heathrow Airport from the hub of London in the UK. A new bridge, opening next month, is the first of its kind to be constructed at residential estate level, making commuting to the Mother City and Stellenbosch easier than before.

Val de Vie is one of the safest estates in Africa, with a combination of state-of-the-art security features, active management and intelligence gathering. Vineyards, orchards, expansive lakes, lush polo fields, equestrian activities and a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course add to the country living ambience. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy jogging and mountain bike trails, explore nearby picnic spots on the banks of the Berg River, spot the 132 flourishing bird species that reside on the estate or relax in the summer sun while watching a riveting polo match. The recently opened Camelot Spa is a tranquil space with treatment rooms, a hair salon and nail lounge. The Pearl Valley Hotel, operated by the Mantis Group, is an ideal weekend getaway and an option if you have visitors staying for a few days.
Among the many advantages of deciding to move to Val de Vie Evergreen, the professional management and maintenance of the luxurious properties are bound to rank high. Val de Vie is the perfect environment for the 35ha retirement village and provides a complete suite of services and amenities, along with quality health and frail care. A total of 400 exclusive homes, 208 apartments and 80 frail-care beds make up the retirement village. Following the estate’s architectural direction, the units will be modelled on French Provençal and Cape Vernacular styles.
Homes range from two-bedroom, two-bathroom single-garage units, to three-bedroom, two-bathroom double-garage stands. Starting at R2,8m, stands vary between 339m2 and 424m2. A 5,000m2 healthcare centre as well as home-based care will be available. A 24-hour emergency device installed in each Val de Vie Evergreen unit summons immediate help. Val de Vie Evergreen residents will have access to a private clubhouse, contemporary library, a multipurpose function centre, landscaped grounds, hair salon, gym, occupational therapy room, a games room, cinema room and a bistro.
In Val de Vie Evergreen’s life right model, residents enjoy the same benefits and privileges as if the home was purchased by freehold or sectional title; the only difference, however, is that Val de Vie Evergreen remains the ultimate owner of the property and therefore carries the responsibility of ongoing upkeep in perpetuity. This removes the burden of village and home maintenance and management from the resident.
Val de Vie installed a private water purification plant in December 2017 that purifies groundwater for household consumption on the estate. Being entirely water independent means the water that would have been used by the estate can now be used for other needy areas in the municipality. However, water restrictions imposed by the Western Cape Government remain in full effect on the estate.
More than half of Val de Vie Evergreen has been sold, attracting senior citizens who place their trust in the reputable brands of Val de Vie and Evergreen Lifestyle.
