Wellington Rural, Wellington

Haaskraal Guesthouse and Olive Farm is a beautiful property in the Cape Winelands bordering on the Berg River, providing both a perfect lifestyle and agricultural opportunity. Set in picturesque rural countryside, with extensive views over the Groenberg, Limietberg and Hawequas mountain ranges, the farm is very well located, only fifteen minutes from the town of Wellington with its modern amenities and less than one hour from Cape Town international airport. Paarl, Stellenbosch and Franschoek with their good schools and tertiary establishments, not to mention wine routes, restaurants, cultural entertainment and hospitals, are a stone’s throw away.

Agricultural activities on this magnificent 110ha farm date back to the 1700’s. After growing a variety of produce over the years, Haaskraal is now an award-winning olive and Nguni stud farm. The table and oil olive groves established from 2020 are producing top quality international and local Extra Virgin Olive Oil. A dream for many!

With 20 hectares of oil and table olives, there is great capacity for further expansion: either to plant more olive groves, or venture into any one of the many different crops that the soils and microclimate in this location will allow. Alternatively, livestock farming could be increased. Good water and soils make almost anything possible. With its allocation from the Berg River for 188 000m3, the farm has an abundant supply of water for irrigation. There is also a borehole and municipal water. The irrigation has been automated with computerised valves for olive grove drip irrigation, app-managed pivot functionality and state of the art moisture probes.

Dreaming of your own Cape Dutch Guesthouse? Haaskraal Guesthouse has been lovingly restored and was well established on several tourism platforms with 5-star ratings while operational. With 4 en-suite luxury bedrooms, extensive gardens with mature trees, swimming pool and a cottage. It also features a lovely library and wine cellar. There is an unutalised wedding venue for those wishing to expand agrotourism
and renovate.

The farm also restored a quarter-hectare vineyard, planted to classic red and white table grapes.

Other improvements include a second 3-bedroomed house, utility outbuildings and six upgraded workers’ cottages.

Haaskraal Farm offers a perfect balance between a wonderful, rural lifestyle and a solid agricultural and hospitality income, with a lot of room for expansion and growth on its already successful foundation.

This opportunity doesn’t come often!

The farm is being offered for sale as a going concern, including all guesthouse furnishings, olive oil press and associating equipment and agricultural movables for R29,5 million (plus Vat).
