Voliere Development Company, the developers of Voliere, acquired this intrinsic part of Stellenbosch’s history in 2012. The land was first settled in 1680 when Hans Henske established the farm Patrijse Valleij, growing cereals and grapes on about 68 morgen. The VOC formally granted the farm to him in 1692.
The directors of Voliere Development Company can individually lay claim to decades of development experience and expertise, honed both locally, on the African continent, as well as Europe. Having gained a reputation for being environmentally conscious and receiving numerous accolades for the development of the Arabella Country Estate near Kleinmond in the Western Cape, which is located within an environmentally sensitive Unesco Biosphere Reserve, the directors intend to exercise similar care and dedication to the development of this fine Lifestyle Estate.
