Lifestyle Farm with Unlimited Potential
Serenely situated between Kleinmond and Bot River adjacent to the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve, this unique property (agriculturally zoned) offers many opportunities with breathtaking scenery of the indigenous area. The farm is a mere 20 km from Hermanus and 5 km from the N2 national road, making it easily accessible, as well as being only 100 km from Cape Town. The North-East facing orientation of the farm ensures more than enough sunlight, especially during the colder winter months.
The farm has 32 ha of vineyards consisting of a suitable mix of sought-after varietals including Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Sémillon, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot, Malbec, Pinot Noir and Mourvèdre. The current tenant winemaker makes use of the cellar and tasting room and sells wine directly to the public from the farm. In addition, there is an olive grove, 1.5 ha of essential oil plantings and a hectare of a variety of lemons.
Apart from sufficient staff housing on the farm, there are 5 luxury income-generating villas (sleeping 32 pax in total) plus another 2 cottages in beautiful natural surroundings. Each villa is equipped with its own braai area, private swimming pool and jacuzzi. These are most popular with the tourism market and have been positioned to ensure privacy and breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
Rich in fertile soil and water, which is a real bonus; there is one large dam, plus a few smaller dams and other boreholes servicing different areas on the farm. Possessing registered water usage of over 300 000 cubic metres a year and registered dam storage of 95000 cubic metres, the farm has enough water to expand current plantings. An additional borehole is used only when necessary to fill the largest of the dams and renders 80 000 litres per hour. Another borehole supplies water to four of the five villas, as well as to the cellar. The third borehole supplies the other villa and the cottages. There is also a borehole supplying the Barton Veg area with water (approx. 20 000 litres per hour).
All farm equipment belonging to the farm, as well as household contents in the villas, are included in the selling price. The property has the normal utility farm outbuildings, offices and staff cottages.
