1 479 ha Farm in Robertson
Unique and Luxurious Farm Haven
Own a piece of history in the Robertson valley with an unrivalled lifestyle, vineyards and olive groves, covering 1479 hectares of stunning landscape at the base of the Langeberg mountains, only 1.5 hours from Cape Town in the beautiful Breede valley.
The farm is a working olive and grape farm with high-quality produce delivered to well-known wineries and olive presses. seven cottages, all Fedhasa registered offer superior high occupancy accommodation. There is also huge potential for further development, such as creating the ultimate wedding venue with an estate restaurant or building more secluded eco pods. Authorities have already been given to establish these facilities.
This property is a nature lover''s paradise with established hiking and mountain bike trails ranging from 5 to 12 km that wind through fynbos, proteas, waterfalls, rock pools, cliff faces, and majestic rock formations. The area is abundant with diverse flora, including forests of yellowwood, Rooi Els, and Cape Holly.
It''s also a haven for bird watchers, with over 200 bird species identified, as well as sightings of Black eagles, African fish eagles, and Spotted eagle owls. The streams still host endangered Breede River Redfin, as well as resident waterfowl and Malachite kingfishers. The valley is home to wildlife such as the Cape Leopard, Caracal, Duiker, and Grysbok.
The historic gabled Manor house dated 1764 was most likely the original farmhouse of the farm Norree and still has its beautiful yellow wood ceilings and thick walls,, overlooking the vineyards. Next door is the flour mill at the Old Mill house which was turned by the passing mountain stream and supplied wheat flour to the nearby farmers and transport riders.
The property also includes a historic ''meul huis'' where wheat was ground for flour. The seven high-end cottages have private plunge pools, covered braai facilities, parking, fireplaces, and full DSTV, all providing stunning views of the farmlands and mountains.
The wine crops are delivered to a well-known winery, while the olive production is sent to an award-winning olive oil press. The property includes well-appointed manager and labourer cottages for staff accommodation.
A magnificent newly constructed dam and existing water rights are registered for 30 hectares of irrigation namely 15 hectares of vineyards and 8 hectares olives. More than enough power is allocated to the farm to expand accommodation facilities.
