54 ha Farm in Stellenbosch Central
Steeped in history, this family farm originated in 1919. Mesmerizing views of the Hottentots-Holland Mountain range, the valley, neighbouring wine farms and even False Bay Ocean views await you. The location is very rare, as it is farm living, with a neighbourhood on your back porch and very close to the bustling gastronomic town of Stellenbosch, where pavement dining is the norm, enjoying an array of wine and gin bars and some of the finest restaurants in Stellenbosch, under starlit skies.
The farm is currently more focussed on tourism and entertainment, having several Airbnb cottages or self-catering units, as well as a restaurant seating 50 pax indoors and up to 60 pax outdoors and function venue, there is also space to grow. The function venue has a capacity for 120 pax - seated, 180 pax - cocktail style, 110 pax - cinema style, 30 pax - boardroom style, 60 pax - school room style, 60 pax - U-shape style. Full day & half day packages as well as wedding packages are offered.
The 1300 mcellar was added in 1941, with additions in 1998. The total capacity is between 150 and 350 tons annually and the wines age in oak barrels. The cellar can host up to 300 barrels. Renowned for its red wines, including Pinotage, Cabernet and Shiraz, this wine farm delivers wines of extinction. Currently, the grapes are sourced in, to make the best red wines possible. The intellectual property, brand name and website can be taken over by the new owners.
The farm offers two main houses. One of the two manors is a three bedroomed 1905 Victorian lady, with swimming pool and the second is a larger five bedroomed home, also with a swimming pool for the balmy summer days and private cellar.
There are some Red Angus cattle (One Bull, 18 Cows en 18 Calves will form part of the sale), grazing on the land currently, it is operated as a hobby. The other half of the land is outsourced and used for vegetable farming, mostly one year/cash crops. 38ha''s of land is suitable to plant new vines.
This leaves you with multiple possibilities for different types of farming, enhancing the tourist attractions/accommodation segment think glass igloos or glamping, the addition of a retreat, spa or Winelands beauty salon, extending the banqueting, conference, wedding and events market. A plethora of possibilities is possible.
