Property Details
The advertised wine farm on the slopes of Helderberg Mountain is located between Stellenbosch and Somerset West, just 10 min away from each, this 50-hectare farm sits along the R44, a major route in the Cape Winelands, and offers magnificient views towards Table Mountain. Surrounded by some of the most famous wine estates of Stellenbosch, this farm has 21.8 hectares of vineyards with a mix of varieties: 13.2 hectares of Chardonnay, 5.5 hectares of Merlot, and 0.7 hectares each of Petit Verdot, Mourvèdre, and Grenache. All the vines are on trellises and are drip-irrigated. The combination of mountain and coastal climates creates the perfect environment for high-quality wine production. In addition, there are about 20 hectares of open, arable land ready for further development. Water for irrigation is provided by a 5-hectare allocation from the Theewaterskloof irrigation scheme, along with rights to a shared catchment dam. Drinking water is sourced from two boreholes on the property. At the heart of the farm, but away from the street, is an old Cape-style farmhouse, featuring six bedrooms, two bathrooms. The house, which needs some renovation, is currently divided into two rental units, each with three bedrooms and one bathroom. The farmhouse is surrounded by trees and partially enclosed by a stone wall. The farm also includes several utility sheds for agricultural use and all necessary farm equipment. The property is being sold as a going concern, offering a chance to either expand the existing wine production, start a boutique wine brand, or explore agritourism opportunities. With its prime location, excellent infrastructure, and growth potential, this farm presents a solid investment opportunity.
