Description

Nestled in a beautiful valley surrounded by the Paardeberg mountains, lies this unique estate with a fully operational wine cellar, several function venues, self-catering accommodation and a private nature reserve. The farm is conveniently located near Malmesbury, 66km from Cape Town International Airport and 45km from Paarl. Of the 317ha, 20ha is planted with wine grapes, 900 olive trees and a lemon orchard. The farm produces between 20 and 40 tonnes of organic grapes each year which are used to produce around 12 000 bottles of handcrafted natural organic wines. The bush vines are grown in dryland conditions and no pesticide or herbicides are used. The 270ha surrounding mountain land is registered with Cape Nature as a private nature reserve and forms part of the Paardeberg Conservancy. The Reserve boasts a number of walking and climbing trails where hikers can enjoy an extraordinary variety of wild flowers such as fynbos and wild protea, as well as small game and eagles soaring overhead. From the top of the mountain you will enjoy spectacular views of the Winterberg and Franschhoek Mountains as well as Table Mountain. Farm style accommodation consists of the original Cape Dutch Victorian homestead dating back to 1880 and 4 self-catering cottages spread out over the property, accommodating 42 pax in total. Four diverse function venues cater for weddings and corporate events, combined with a fully equipped catering kitchen. Additional infrastructure include an office, wine storage room, 2 bedroom flat (currently occupied by the owner), wine cellar, workshop, shed and smaller storage rooms. The wine cellar comes fully equipped with press, de-stemmer, maturation barrels, etc for the new owner to continue the legacy of producing vegan, organic wines the way it was done 100 years ago. Wine production can be expanded by purchasing more wine grapes from neighbouring farms and establishing a new entry level wine range for the commercial market. The farm is hosting communication masts for three different internet companies up on the mountain, providing an additional income as well as free WiFi for all the dwellings and venues. Water is sourced from 2 boreholes as well as numerous fountains in the catchment area. Electricity is supplied by Eskom as well as solar panels. This profitable enterprise is well established and has been in business for many years. 90% of all bookings are repeat customers. All buildings and structures are well maintained and in good repair. There is only one staff cottage and none of the farm workers have life rights. The farm is sold as a going concern and the Seller is VAT registered. Asking price is excluding VAT. The farm is registered in a Pty and a sale of shares can be considered.
