Wellington Rural, Wellington

This beautiful piece of open land is only a 20-minute drive from Wellington, but it feels like you are a hundred miles away from anything. The land itself is slightly sloped, with an almost 0.5ha development area planned in the North-Western corner of the farm. It is on the highest part of the land, ensuring majestic views up to the blue mountains of the Boland.

Building plans for a 240m2 main house, two Cottages (104m2 each) and a 115m2 garage/shed from an award-winning architect are proposed, using a quick steel frame and cost-effective construction method.

The site development proposed is, however, subject to approval from the following authorities, and will have to be consulted to provide comment on the plans, as this will also be required, should the municipality receive an application for building plan approval:
• The Department of Environmental Affairs & Development Planning;
• The Department of Water & Sanitation;
• Cape Nature;
• This Municipality (various departments);
• Potentially Heritage Western Cape, amongst others.
Please note that it would be critical to consult these authorities prior to any development of the site. Also, the municipalities Engineering Services Department would also need to provide comment on the availability of services for development of the site.

The site almost in its entirety consists of critically endangered vegetation. Furthermore, there is also a wetland on the site. The site is also located close to a Stewardship site, which requires protection. Although the municipal by-laws cannot prohibit proposal for development, any development including the proposes establishment of dwellings, will be subject to consultation with the above authorities.

This farm is ideal for the nature lover inclined to develop it further into a small game farm, as it is already home to steenbok and duiker. Adjacent to this farm are larger antelope species to be found. Eland and gemsbok has been sighted roaming on the farm.

Water: There are two non-perenial mountain streams that flow through the farm, as well as a borehole, currently not in use.
It was, however, tested in Sept 2025. Approximately 52,000 litres were pumped in 7 hours, with the water level only dropping slightly. That's more than a million litres in less than 6 days if you kept pumping 24/7.

This farm is by far the best value in the Boland and Wellington area, priced for a quick sale to a discerning buyer who knows a gem when they see one! Make an offer!

This property is not sold as a going concern.
