Within just an hour’s drive north west from Cape Town you will find yourself in a kloof in the beautiful and diverse Paardeberg. The Paardeberg mountain is part of the world-famous Cape Floral Kingdom and has an extraordinary mix of vegetation, ranging from Cape Mountain fynbos to Strandveld and Renosterveld. And right here, in the midst of this natural, rugged beauty, is a ± 320ha farm for sale.
The property is currently planted to ± 14ha of dry-land vineyard (old “bosstok”); ± 2ha of olives (about 900 trees); some lemon trees and bee hives. A 270ha portion of granite mountainside is under contract with Cape Nature as a nature reserve. Agricultural production is focused on organic and sustainable handcrafted wines, olive oils, table olives, red-wine vinegar, raw honey and limited Limoncello.
Further income on the farm is generated from an established hospitality business.
Water is drawn from a seasonal stream in the form of a "water-beurt" and 2 equipped boreholes, delivering about 30 000 l/hr. There is a third unequipped borehole with a capacity of ± 2 000 l/hr. Electricity is from both Eskom and a solar component.
The well-developed infrastructure consists of a 6-bedroomed, 4-bathroomed main house with swimming pool, various guest accommodation options, venue spaces, wine cellar, storage rooms, workshops, office, manager's accommodation and workers' accommodation. This farm is ideally set up to host guests, retreats, workshops, functions and outdoor activities such as hiking, bird watching, mountain biking and much more.
This comfortable, yet simple piece of heaven, perfect for those wanting to live sustainably and close to nature, will be sold as a going concern for R25 million.

History
Paarl, one of the oldest towns in South Africa founded in 1687 is an admired farming village at heart. Paarl, in Dutch means pearl, originating from the glistening outcrops of granite rocks that shimmer like pearls after the rain. Paarl's majestic granite rock is the 2nd largest granite outcrop in the world. In honour of Paarl's legendry red wines, it is also known as the 'Red Route'.
