Invest in the Western Cape: Stone House Estate – 245 ha

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.
