Farm for sale
Experience authentic winelands living on Groenberg slopes near Wellington, with 89 ha vineyards, a 2,000 sqm cellar, historic 1806 homestead, three en-suite bedrooms and pool.
This farm covers an area of 286 ha (various adjoining title deeds) of which approximately 89 ha are planted with vineyards. The remaining area is taken up by buildings, dams, roads, a 30 ha conservation area and the most striking features of mountainous terrain. Nestled on the protective slopes of Groenberg, a special and secluded area outside Wellington, this farm benefits from a combination of varied topography, altitude and pristine fertile soil types, creating an exceptional micro climate ideal for premium wine grape cultivation and also other types of farming if necessary.
The 3 en suite bedroom residential homestead, dating back to 1806, with each room authentically furnished, reflects the layered historical context of the over 200 years of the farm’s existence. Step into a legacy of timeless elegance where history whispers through the vines and breath-taking vistas stir the soul, offering the perfect blend of luxury living and an idyllic country lifestyle making this farm highly desirable for discerning investors. This homestead is complemented by a swimming pool, established trees and rolling lawns.
Other buildings include 3 managers’ houses, a labourer cottage (occupied), 4 labourer cottages (empty), a shed with various utility outbuildings and the “old cellar”. The farm also features a complete wine cellar complex covering approximately 2 000 sq meters with the capacity to process approximately 1 000 tons of grapes.
From the 89 ha of both red and white varieties (SAWIS Report available) 80 hectares are under drip irrigation while 9 hectares are dryland cultivated. Depending on a specific production season with subsequent market conditions, the owner decides which market they will cater for and production is therefore adjusted to either 7 to 8 tons per ha or even up to 14 tons per ha. This logic equips management for boutique branding as well as large-scale bulk creation. A combination of 4 boreholes, reservoirs and 5 earth catchment dams (2 are in need of attention) ensure the farm has a reliable water source. There is furthermore a 168-panel solar system.
This historic farm stands as a testimony to enduring craftsmanship and heritage offering an opportunity to own a piece of South Africa’s storied wine making tradition.
Except for 1 labourer family, no labourers are living permanently on the farm.
