Legaro's Drakenzicht Offers Three Home Types in the Paarl Winelands

PAARL, November 2026. Choosing a home is rarely about the estate alone. It is about how a family wants to live day to day: whether they want everything on one level, whether they want bedrooms upstairs and away from the living areas, or whether they would rather look out over the mountains from the top floor. Legaro Property Development is setting out the three home types available at Drakenzicht, its lock-up-and-go estate in the Paarl Winelands, so buyers can match the layout to the life they have in mind.

Drakenzicht offers single storey homes, double storey homes and penthouses, with homes priced from R7,399,900. As summer settles over the Boland and holiday visitors start arriving in the Cape Winelands, Legaro is inviting buyers to view the different options in person.

Single storey, double storey or penthouse

Each of the three home types is shown separately in the Drakenzicht photo gallery, which makes it easier for buyers to compare them side by side. A single storey home suits buyers who want easy, level living, including retirees, semigrants moving from other provinces and families with young children. A double storey home separates sleeping and living spaces, which many families prefer as children grow. The penthouses offer a different perspective on the estate and its setting below the Drakenstein mountains.

Of the homes for sale Paarl buyers can view this summer, few combine that choice of layout with one shared set of finishes and estate services. Whichever type a buyer chooses, the standard of the home stays the same.

Finishes that come with every home

Legaro lists a detailed specification for Drakenzicht. Features include:

• A lounge with a wood-burning fireplace.
• A Stephen Pikus chandelier.
• Oggie engineered wood flooring.
• An expansive kitchen with a private pantry and scullery, and SMEG kitchen appliances.
• A master suite with a luxurious bathroom.
• Air conditioning in the living area and every bedroom.
• Indoor-outdoor living with black aluminium stackable doors and windows.
• An enclosed braai room with a patio.
• A private garden with a tiled pool.
• A double garage.

The fireplace and the air conditioning tell the story of the Paarl climate. Winters are cold and wet, summers are hot, and a home in the valley needs to be comfortable in both. Full insulation and large double-glazed windows help with that, keeping heat in during winter and out during the hottest summer afternoons.

Power and water handled

Every home includes solar panels, a 12kWh battery and an 8kW inverter. For buyers looking for a house to buy in Paarl that can keep running through power interruptions, that is a practical specification rather than an optional extra. Drakenzicht is also a water-wise estate, in keeping with Legaro's commitment to sustainable living.

The estate is EDGE certified. Legaro notes that this can give buyers a 0.25% interest rate discount through FNB, ABSA, Standard Bank or Nedbank, plus a cash back rebate on the bank's terms.

Lock-up-and-go without the upkeep

A private garden is one of the main reasons buyers choose a freestanding home over an apartment, but gardens take time. At Drakenzicht, each private garden is maintained by the body corporate, which is what makes the lock-up-and-go lifestyle possible. Owners who travel over the festive season, or who use the home as a base between other commitments, can leave knowing the garden will be cared for.

Security supports that same ease of mind. The estate has electric fencing, a CCTV camera system, 24/7 private security, trained security guards and facial recognition.

Life in and around the estate

Drakenzicht's onsite Lifestyle Centre is designed for business convenience, fitness, entertainment, family fun and relaxation. Beyond the estate, the surrounding area is one of the main draws of Paarl property. Legaro lists nearby attractions including Avondale Wine Estate, Laborie Wine Estate, Boland Park cricket stadium, Boschenmeer Golf Estate, Drakenstein Shopping Centre, Parelberg Shopping Centre, The Wagyu Experience and Noop Restaurant.

That combination of wine estates, sport, golf and everyday shopping means residents can spend a summer weekend close to home without feeling they are missing out on the Winelands.

Designed by an award winning architect

Each home at Drakenzicht is designed by an award winning architect. Legaro Property Development describes itself as an international, award winning developer, with exclusive residential and commercial developments in Johannesburg and the Western Cape. In Johannesburg its portfolio includes The Emerald in Hyde Park and completed developments such as 78 Corlett, Melville Lane, 38 Morsim, Melrose Walk and 51a First Road.

Matching the home to the household

The three home types make it easier for different buyers to find a fit within one estate. Semigrants relocating to the Western Cape often want a home that is ready to live in from day one, with power backup, security and garden maintenance already in place. Families may lean towards a double storey layout for the separation it offers between bedrooms and living areas. Buyers who already own property elsewhere and want a Winelands base for holidays may prefer the ease of a penthouse or a single storey home with a smaller private garden to look after.

In each case, the enclosed braai room with its patio and the private tiled pool give the home a strong outdoor focus, which suits the long summer evenings in the Paarl valley. The wood-burning fireplace means the same home stays comfortable when the Cape winter returns, so the estate works as a year-round home rather than a summer retreat.

Arranging a viewing

Buyers can browse the Drakenzicht brochure, view the estate on the sales map and Google Maps, and look through the gallery for each home type before requesting a viewing. Seeing a single storey home, a double storey home and a penthouse on the same visit is the quickest way to decide which suits a household best.
