This expansive, largely undeveloped 23-hectare farm is ideally located just outside Paarl, en route to Franschhoek, and is easily accessible via a tarred road. The property is nestled in close proximity to the prestigious Pearl Valley Golf Estate and the renowned Val de Vie Polo venue, as well as a luxury residential development. Surrounded by breathtaking mountain ranges and the natural beauty that the Cape Winelands are famous for, this farm offers a serene and picturesque setting.
Currently, 5.7 hectares of the land are under vine, with established, trellised wine grapes irrigated by a drip system. The remaining land consists of arable, undeveloped, and irrigable terrain, presenting a blank canvas for the new owner to cultivate a variety of crops of their choosing. The topography is
flat, allowing for flexible farming opportunities. Additionally, an underground PVC irrigation system spans approximately 8 hectares, further enhancing the property’s agricultural potential.
The farm is bordered by the Berg River, providing access to a significant 22.6-hectare water entitlement. This water is extracted through a permanent installation featuring a 60 kW Eskom-powered motor and centrifugal pump. With an annual water allocation of 90,400 cubic meters, the property offers an excellent water supply, making it an attractive option for those seeking to develop the entire farm under irrigation.
The property also boasts various buildings, including a 323-square-meter main dwelling (in need of some maintenance), a garage requiring attention, a spacious 380-square-meter workshop, and four dilapidated labourer cottages. With no permanent labourers currently residing on the farm, the cottages present an opportunity for renovation into income-generating units. The property is currently rented on a negotiable three-month notice period.
For equestrian enthusiasts, this property is ideal for the creation of paddocks, stables, and arenas, further enhancing its appeal.
If you're seeking a prime location with excellent water rights and the flexibility to farm a wide range of crops, this farm offers tremendous potential. The seller is a VAT-registered entity.
