Helderberg Wine Farm - Very well positioned midway between Stellenbosch (11 km) and Somerset West (11 minutes), this 50ha wine farm offers something quite exceptional for an investor with vision. It is located on the lower slopes of the Helderberg mountain range with direct access from the R44, a main artery of the Cape Wine Route, and enjoys high visibility. Helderberg means clear mountain in Afrikaans because the western side of the mountain is illuminated in the evenings. With its neighbouring farms on all sides being home to prestigious wine brands, this property is in very good company.
Currently the farm is planted to 21,8ha of wine grapes (13,2ha Chardonnay; 5,5ha Merlot; 0,7ha Petit Verdot; 0,7ha Mourvedre and 0,7ha Grenache) all of which are on trellis and under drip irrigation. These vineyards are in a mountain and maritime climate, ideal for producing quality wine. A further ±20ha of open arable land is available for development.
Irrigation water is supplied by a 5ha allocation from the Theewaterskloof irrigation scheme as well as rights from a shared catchment dam. Drinking water is drawn from one of two equipped boreholes on the farm.
In the middle of the property is an old Cape style farmhouse with 6 bedrooms, two bathrooms and various entertainment rooms, set in a traditional farm werf with lots of trees and partially surrounded by a ringmuur. This house is currently divided into 2 x 3-bedroomed, 1-bathroomed rental units.
A number of utility farm sheds provide the necessary agricultural infrastructure.
The farm is for sale as a going concern, inclusive of the necessary farm implements.
