15Ha Farm For Sale in Wellington Rural

Just a shade under 15ha, this farm, with soaring views to Table Mountain in the West and the Hawequa Mountains to the East is ready for a young active family to move in. Living here, you have all the spoils of living on a farm, yet conveniently close to town to drive the kids to school every day. With direct access to a tar road, it is only a 3km drive into town.

The lovely vintage-style gabled house has lots of character and was built with the warm summer weather and direction of the sun in mind. It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with lots of potential to exchange the large windows for sliding doors that could lead onto the balcony on the front of the house. The house is built on an elevated foundation, under which two garages with additional storage rooms, fit in. This can also be changed into a granny flat.

In the sought-after Bo-Vlei area, on the foothills of the Bainskloof pass, the fertile soils of this farm hold almost 11 ha of Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinotage, and Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards. In previous years, the registered quota of grapes delivered to Wellington Cellars was approximately 110 tonnes.

The main water supply is from boreholes. The water is pumped to cement dams from where the vineyards are irrigated, six boreholes deliver more than enough water for both irrigation and household purposes. Water is pumped up to the higher grounds into two cement dams and two elevated water tanks for household use. Eskom electricity is 3-phase and two backup Lister generators (fixtures), are providing an alternative source of electricity during load-shedding. In close proximity to the house is a shed with an oversized garage that can house 4 vehicles, plus additional workshop space.

Two blocked-up labourer's cottages (2 -3 bedrooms) are currently not in use.

The farm is sold as a going concern and the inclusion of tools and equipment will be negotiated.
