Situated at the foot of the majestic Kleinriver Mountains in the sought-after Stanford area, this expansive 245-hectare estate represents a rare lifestyle and farming investment. The property harmoniously blends a rich history of traditional farming with modern industrial capabilities, making it a cornerstone of the local agricultural community. With 160 hectares of arable land and 35 hectares already under irrigation, the farm is perfectly positioned for large-scale crop cultivation, livestock management, or niche ventures like its existing young almond orchards.
Elite Dairy and Artisanal Production
The heart of the operation is a sophisticated 40-point swing-over milking parlor capable of handling up to 700 cows, supported by an 8,000-liter milk tank and a standby generator. This high-quality yield feeds directly into a fully operational, state-of-the-art cheese factory and retail outlet. Known for producing award-winning artisanal cheeses, the facility is complemented by a professional butchery and cold storage, allowing for a complete "farm-to-fork" commercial ecosystem.
Robust Infrastructure and Diversification
Beyond dairy, the farm is engineered for diverse livestock and intensive farming. It features massive dedicated sheds for sheep (960m²) and cattle (864m²), equipped with specialized feeding bays and drainage systems. The infrastructure is so versatile that it can easily accommodate poultry, hydroponics, or expanded pig farming—the latter of which currently benefits from a sustainable loop using whey from the cheese production process.
Unrivaled Water Wealth and Power
Water security is a hallmark of this property, boasting registered rights to 200,000 cubic meters of river water annually. The resource network includes five high-capacity boreholes, four holding dams, and a natural fountain providing potable water. Power reliability is equally prioritized with three 100 KVA Eskom transformers, supported by a substantial 54.6 KVA solar system featuring solar panels to offset operational costs.
Expansive Accommodation and Agritourism
The estate offers a diverse portfolio of residential buildings, making it an ideal destination for hospitality or multi-generational living. In addition to the main manor and a manager’s house, there are several charming units including a Stone House, Mountain Cottage, and River Cottage. These well-appointed dwellings provide a ready-made foundation for a thriving agritourism business, weekend rentals, or a boutique event venue near the region's famous wine routes.
Offered as a fully operational entity by a VAT-registered vendor, this farm is more than just land; it is a multifaceted business. From the established Shiraz vineyards and almond groves to the potential for "pod housing" and restaurant expansion, the possibilities for growth are limitless. It stands as a testament to the perfect blend of Cape heritage and modern commercial viability.
