A POCKET OF INSPIRATION IN THE VALLEY OF WINE AND ROSES

This gem of a 3-ha smallholding, situated close to the popular R60, is a neighbour to some of the prime wine estates between Robertson and Ashton. Renowned historically for its roses, wines of superb quality and award-winning race horses, the production of citrus, olives and blueberries has also found a foothold in the beautiful Robertson Valley, in recent years.
The property is centrally situated in a farming area, off a tarred regional road, but close enough to all kinds of amenities, professional services, restaurants, a private hospital and nature reserves.
Four fenced paddocks with troughs, currently being used to accommodate 6 mares and their progeny, cover 2 ha. The lime soil, typical of this area, has always allowed for thoroughbred horses and vineyards, alike, to thrive. These paddocks could be leased to a neighbour, planted with vines or used to produce cash crops or flowers.
Ample registered water rights of 2 ha, allows for irrigation of any crops that may be planted. Water is pumped directly from the river and irrigation takes place via an existing pipeline system and draglines.
Farming facilities include three stables, a foaling box, a veterinary room, a feed shed and a storeroom.
Some moveable assets will be included in the sale.

The spacious, thatched homestead covers approximately 350 m2. The ground floor includes a large open-plan lounge, bar and double-volume dining area, a spacious office with a small kitchen in a corner, and a bathroom next door. The well-appointed family kitchen, laundry and scullery lead off the lounge and onto a sheltered veranda and braai area. From the veranda one has a very pleasing view over the paddocks, neighbouring vineyards and mountains.
Two sets of stairs lead to the first floor which boasts a large central lounge/library/play-room area, that leads to the balcony with spectacular views of the majestic Langeberg to the north and the Riviersonderend Mountains to the south-west. Three bedrooms, one being en-suite, and an additional bathroom, add to making this an ideal family home. At the same time, these facilities contribute to the potential of turning this into a guest house, in the centre of a highly sought-after tourist destination, and on the popular route between Cape Town and the Klein Karoo.

A cottage, adjacent to the stable block, has two bedrooms and a shared bathroom. An open-plan kitchen and lounge/dining complete the facilities. This could be rented out to tourists or young professional tenants, or accommodate a guest-house manager.

There is no labourer staff accommodation on the property.

This is an ideal opportunity for anyone who wants to plant some crops on a small scale or board a few thoroughbred horses. Alternatively, plant a single variety vineyard, for a local winemaker of choice to produce your own special, private lable. Set up a farmstall or pop-up restaurant downstairs, and take advantage of this ideal location to attract visitors who flock to this picturesque valley.
