Property description
Surrounded by scenic countryside and with stunning views, this 358 ha farm is in a rural setting with local amenities at the nearby towns of Worcester and Villiersdorp.
Built in 1905 this classic 5 bedroom main house with rich wooden finishes features 2 full bathrooms, an office, lounge with character fireplace, dining room and open plan kitchen. Then there is a living room that leads to an inviting enclosed swimming pool. This house allows you to live steeped in history but to enjoy modern luxuries, combining yesteryear's influences blended seamlessly with today's refined style.
Beyond the main house are several outbuildings including a shed as well as a historic wine cellar. This old building still with its original Oregon ceilings reflects a bygone wine making era. However, with dedicated restoration and modernization, the opportunity exists to establish your own boutique wine estate.
Two guesthouses are to be found of which one has been in operation since 2018. It offers 2 bedrooms, an open plan kitchen and living area, a swimming pool as well as an outdoor shower. This popular guesthouse has built up repeat satisfied clientele over the years.
The second guest house was built early 2024. Located next to an earth dam and overlooking the peaceful pond, this 1 bedroom cottage with modern facilities and a romantic touch also offers an outside bath and splash pool.
On the agricultural side, this farm is predominantly a superb productive unit. There is currently 72 hectares under irrigated vineyards of which 22 hectares are under 10 years old, 20 ha between 10 and 20 years and 30 ha are older than 20 years. For the last 3 years the annual average yield has been 560 tons of grapes delivered to a well-known nearby winery.
This low yield is due to floods and older vines that have been removed, but production is expected to increase over time as young vines enter full production to the farm's long-term average of 1000 tons and more. The new owner may continue delivering at that cellar.
Other farming enterprises are 5 ha Packham pears (planted 2018) and 2 ha Fairtime peaches (planted 2022), all under irrigation.
This is no doubt a water rich farm. With registered water rights from 2 different irrigation schemes, 2 registered boreholes and 2 registered dams, the farm is blessed in that water is available to put another 80 ha arable land with good soil under irrigation (apart from the existing 79 ha).
The property could be used for a variety of farming purposes, be it different fruit, including table grapes, livestock, game, equine facilities/stud farming, etc.
About 84 ha of the farm is regarded mountainous.
A list of implements and equipment included in this going concern deal is available.
The farm's management system reflects sustainable ethical principles, policies and practices.
This is your rare opportunity to embrace a lifestyle that combines profit with the beauty of nature.
