At the foothills of the Simonsberg mountains, with the popular Plaisir (de Merle) Wine Estate and Boschendal Wine Estate as your Simondium neighbours, you will find over 36Ha of arable and clean land, including 10,5Ha of vineyards. The area is diverse and rich fynbos vegetation with a wide variety of exotic bird and smaller buck species intermingling along the slopes. This property offers an ideal opportunity to further develop this land into a boutique wine farm with your own label and to design and build your ideal home.
This pristine land has been cleared of all alien species and has 10,5ha of planted vineyards: Chardonnay (almost 7Ha) and Muscat de Frontignan (3,5Ha) - producing approximately 11,4 and 5,8 tons per annum, respectively (2022). The soil types are a mix of Dundee,
Longlands, Avalon, Pinedene, and Kroonstad. Ample water provisions exist - 20ha water is supplied by Plaisir Founders Wine Estate from the ‘Perskeboord’ ground dam (approximately 13000m3), which gets filled by the mountain stream, the "Groot River".
Plaisir Founders Wine Estate, as the dominant and established wine farm with cellar and other facilities, will gladly make your wine (at industry cost) under your own label. If required, Plaisir will also manage your vineyards at Vinpro cost (industry standard). Plaisir Wine Estate offers trails to ride, jog or walk, as well as a weekend Food Market and premier dinning at PlatForm restaurant, plus guest accommodation.
A unique opportunity - one of the last farmlands available high-up the mountain side.
