WELLINGTON FARM WITH PANORAMIC VIEWS AND EXCEPTIONAL AGRICULTURAL POTENTIAL
At the heart of the property is a modern, light-filled farmhouse measuring 420 m², built just ten years ago. Designed for comfort and functionality, it offers four generous bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a spacious open-plan living area with a central fireplace—perfect for family living and entertaining. The modern farmhouse kitchen features a scullery and pantry, and direct access to a walk-in refrigerator and garage.
A west-facing stoep provides the ideal setting to relax and enjoy breathtaking sunsets over a beautifully landscaped garden. Mature oak and majestic fig trees enhance the tranquil farmyard atmosphere.
Just 50 meters from the main house is an impressive 820 m² shed/warehouse complex, which includes:
• A self-contained flatlet (currently occupied by the farm manager)
• Storeroom and double garage with remote-controlled roller door
• Workshop and dedicated office space
This facility houses all essential farming tools and equipment, which can be included in the sale by separate negotiation as part of the going concern.
An additional outbuilding features two open garage bays and an extra storeroom.
WATER & IRRIGATION
Water security is a standout feature:
• 26 hectares of water rights from the Berg River Scheme (irrigation)
• Primary borehole yielding 8,000 liters/hour (household use)
• Two secondary boreholes (currently inactive)
• A cement reservoir and four YoYo water tanks, all maintained at full capacity
• A 120,000 m³ earthen dam, replenished naturally by winter rains
• Average annual rainfall: 600–700 mm
AGRICULTURAL OPERATIONS
The farm comprises:
• 24.7 hectares of productive vineyards (Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinotage, Chenin Blanc) with grapes delivered to Wellington Wine Cellars
• 1 hectare rootstock nursery
• Additional crops include sweet potatoes, butternut, and cabbage
This is a labor-intensive operation, supported by 16 resident farmworkers housed in seven on-site cottages. Only one resident is not employed on the farm due to age.
