Business opportunity not to be missed

DVine Estate Expo & Events is situated on the Du Toitskloof Pass Road (R101) in Paarl and about 1km from the town border which creates the possibility of future residential or industrial development. According to this document, the property has zoning rights (consent use) to operate the activities.

The busy N1 toll road and the R101 national road run through the property for almost 2km, creating a high-traffic marketing opportunity for millions of passing traffic per year. Tunnels under both roads create the ideal opportunity to utilize it for various sporting events as it offers safe crossings of these roads. This is one of the reasons why various sports events such as the ABSA Cape EPIC, the world’s most prestigious mountain biking event, utilized the property. There is also a huge source of quality natural mineral water from 3 sources. Water for agricultural purposes, from the Hugo’s River water scheme (61 hours every 10 days), fills two dams by opening a 110mm tap with no pump cost because of gravity feeding.

Commercialization of the property is based on the prime location, natural resources, and existing infrastructure. The property with the approved zoning rights (consent use) creates various additional income streams such as:

DVINE EVENTS:- Zoning approval for all kinds of events, including but not limited to, mountain biking, trail running, extreme obstacle races, musical festivals etc. Some of the sports events in the past got up to 1,500 entries.
