Country Living, Vineyards and Lifestyle with Beautiful Mountain Views
Ideal For
• Lifestyle buyers seeking country living, seeking a comfortable rural lifestyle
• Investors looking for multiple income streams
• Small-scale agricultural or boutique wine ventures
• Guest accommodation or rental portfolio expansion
Situated on the north-westerly slopes of the Drakenstein Mountains, the elevated position offers wide, uninterrupted views across the valley and surrounding mountain landscapes, creating a peaceful rural setting without compromising on comfort and convenience.
This mountain farm offers the perfect balance of tranquil country living and versatility on exceptionally well-kept land.
It has secure water and electricity (both municipal and solar), and all infrastructures were thoughtfully renovated and built less than 6 years ago.
The farm is easily accessible via a tarred road. It is ideally located just 15 minutes from the centre of Paarl, close to all the essential amenities, including the best schools, medical facilities, and award-winning restaurants.
Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Wellington are all within a comfortable 40-minute drive.
A well-constructed brick road meanders for more than 1.2 km from the farm entrance to the top of the farm, providing easy access to all the houses and cottages.
Fun feature: For golf enthusiasts, the property includes a private tee near the house and three greens higher up, offering a relaxed practice area for fun and entertainment.
Agricultural and Water Resources
The farm features approximately 4 hectares of established Chenin Blanc bush vines and a 1-hectare olive grove. The grapes are currently managed by a resident winemaker and processed into wine in the farm’s own wine cellar.
Water security is a strong asset, with supply from three boreholes, a natural spring, and a non-perennial stream. Water is pumped to several water tanks and distributed by gravity to the residential buildings. Five additional reservoir dams, some positioned on landscaped lawns, enhance both storage capacity and the farm’s visual appeal. Tilapia fish are bred in these dams.
Power and Infrastructure
Electricity is supplied through a combination of Eskom and solar installations with inverters, allowing parts of the property to function independently if required.
All buildings and infrastructure have been renovated or newly constructed within the past five years, ensuring low maintenance and modern functionality.
