The Peach Farm - Located in the lofty heights of Helshoogte Pass between Stellenbosch and Simondium, this 10.9ha fruit farm is an open book for somebody who wants to put down their own personal stamp. With stunning views across the valley and surrounding mountains, it offers peaceful rural living, as well as a slice of small scale farming.
Currently 4.4ha is planted to peaches (Bonnigold and Olimpia) under micro irrigation. The remainder of the farm is mostly mountainous (6.3ha), with some 0.2ha being used for buildings, roads and one stock proof fenced camp.
Water for the farm is supplied from a borehole with submersible pump, with a cement reservoir (and another pump) for storage. Fresh water for domestic use is sourced from a year round mountain stream.
Improvements on the property consist of a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom main house and a small farm shed.
Electricity is supplied by Eskom. Read more...
