an exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial 123-hectare irrigated farm situated directly on the banks of the berg river, offering an outstanding combination of fertile agricultural land, secure water resources, established infrastructure and significant lifestyle, hospitality and tourism potential. ideally located approximately 20 kilometres from wellington and just 80 kilometres from cape town international airport, this remarkable property combines the productivity of a well-resourced agricultural enterprise with the tranquillity and natural beauty of a prestigious cape winelands setting.
the farm benefits from highly productive soils, a favourable local microclimate and extensive water resources, creating the potential for a diverse range of agricultural enterprises. the property is well suited to intensive irrigated farming, with opportunities ranging from export-oriented fruit production and fodder farming to livestock and other agricultural ventures.
the farm currently operates primarily as a fodder production unit and, until recently, also accommodated a stud livestock operation. a substantial 51 hectares of registered water rights from the berg river provide an important foundation for future agricultural development, while an extensive irrigation network services the farm and feeds two centre-pivot irrigation systems covering approximately 30 hectares and 8 hectares respectively.
the existing farming operation is currently leased to a third party, providing flexibility for an investor or owner-operator to continue with the established agricultural model or explore alter native farming opportunities. the property, together with its implements and equipment, is offered as a going concern.
the residential and hospitality component adds a distinctive dimension to the farm. in addition to two substantial residences, the property includes two guest cottages, creating an established platform for farm accommodation, country retreats or a broader hospitality and tourism enterprise.
a historic 580 m² manor house forms a particularly attractive feature of the property and is partially utilised for guest accommodation. the principal 357 m² residence provides four bedrooms and comfortable family accommodation. together with the guest cottages, river frontage and picturesque surroundings, the residential offering presents considerable potential to develop a unique lifestyle and hospitality destination in the cape winelands.
the berg river frontage, expansive rural setting and peaceful surroundings create a highly desirable environment for visitors seeking an authentic countryside experience within easy reach of wellington, paarl, stellenbosch and cape town. the existing farm accommodation already benefits from the tranquillity and natural appeal of the location, providing a strong foundation for further tourism development, subject to the necessary approvals.
the farm is supported by extensive infrastructure, including numerous outbuildings, storage facilities and livestock handling infrastructure, providing valuable operational flexibility for a range of agricultural enterprises. no farm workers are currently employed or resident on the property, as the existing farming operation is leased to a third party.
with its extensive irrigated agricultural land, valuable berg river water rights, established farming infrastructure, substantial residential accommodation, guest facilities and exceptional river frontage, this is a rare and versatile cape winelands property offering multiple avenues for agricultural investment, lifestyle living, hospitality and tourism.
