42 ha Farm in Robertson

Olive Farm and Processing Plant Laid-back lifestyle / Lucrative enterprise

Agrisell is privileged to be able to market this unique property of 42 ha, on a sole mandate. Set in the vicinity of the scenic and popular Klaasvoogds meander, close to Robertson, it has 360 degree views of the Langeberg, the Sonderend Mountains, olive groves, vineyards, orchards and pristine veldt. At 10 minutes drive from Robertson and all its amenities, this property still offers a full-on safe, rural atmosphere with spectacular mountain views and a mild climate.

This boutique olive estate has 8,000 well-established trees, a modern processing plant, a spacious tasting area on a deep-set veranda and an existing market in the thriving olive oil industry.

The olive groves span approximately 19 hectares. Of these, 16 hectares are table olives, and 3 hectares oil olives, a total of approximately 8,000 olive trees. Five olive varietals, including Frantoio, Calamata, Manzanilla, Coratina, and Mission, are cultivated. The farm''s award-winning olive production is renowned for its high-quality oil and table olives, making it a significant contributor to the olive industry.

This farm is well-equipped for olive processing and tasting. The on-site production facilities, pack shed, tasting room, and outdoor verandas provide an inviting setting for olive enthusiasts and visitors. All kinds of social events could be hosted here, should one wish to expand, and diversify further into the tourist industry.

The property has been rezoned as a guest farm, with permission granted for building 3 more cottages. Fifteen hectares of unused land can be used for guest cottages, or to plant more trees.

Visitors enjoy tapas on the outside deck and are invited to sample and buy various olive products, including beauty products. The immensely popular Excelsior Wine Walks stop off here twice per week, for tastings. A pizza oven and small bar complete the entertainment facilities.

Infrastructure includes a spacious double-storey manor house (250 m2 and verandas on all sides), a managers house (160m2 and covered veranda), and a highly popular tasting venue (300m2). It offers a unique opportunity for those seeking a property where rural tranquillity combines with diverse entrepreneurial potential.

The manor house features a double-volume living area with a fireplace and an open-plan kitchen with a separate scullery. A curved wooden staircase leads to a huge mezzanine area, with a wooden floor, that could be converted into another open plan lounge or entertainment area. The master en-suite bedroom, two more bedrooms, and a separate bathroom are all downstairs. A spacious boma is situated conveniently close to the swimming pool and the manor house, all overlooking the veldt and valley below.

The farm owns an abundance of registered water, consisting of 9 hectares (the equivalent of 7450 cubes per ha per year) through the Klaasvoogds Water Scheme and a strong borehole, offering another 8 ha of water which add tremendous value to the property. The registered servitude on the storage dam, which is shared with the neighbour, is for approximately 27 000 000 litres of water, per year. This ensures reliable water supply for the olive groves, and allocating water for the use in potential guest cottages. Two pumphouses and calibrated pumps secures control over the water supply.

The farm also offers the additional revenue of 300 fig trees on 2 hectares. Three varietals are packed and distributed locally and internationally.

This property is ideal for a laid-back lifestyle, combined with a lucrative enterprise.
