32.9 ha Farm in Worcester and surrounds
WORCESTER - POTENTIAL TO DIVERSIFY
This joint enterprise for table grapes and a packing shed, consists of three title deeds, two of which [Property A -22 ha] can be sold separately from the third [Property B - 11.9 ha].
A stretch of the tarred De Wet Road separates the two farms, while well-maintained dirt roads connect all of its operations.
This area is well-known for its beautiful scenery, and vineyards framed by a stunning backdrop of mountains in every direction.
In a changing market place, diversification could be implemented by removing some of the older vines and replacing those with cash crops.
Any of the 5 houses could potentially be turned into top-class guest accommodation for tourists.
The packing shed could be repurposed for a number of uses, such as a venue, a farm stall or a vegetable processing plant.

Table grapes 21.85 ha
Property A - 17. 5 ha - 10 cultivars
