Stellenbosch Farms, Stellenbosch

Established Wine Farm with Panoramic Views near Stellenbosch

Set along Vlaeberg Road in the Lynedoch area, approximately 10.5 km from central Stellenbosch, this substantial working wine farm combines productive agricultural infrastructure, exceptional Winelands views and considerable lifestyle potential.
From the higher sections of the farm, the outlook extends across surrounding vineyards towards Table Mountain, False Bay and the Stellenbosch mountain ranges. Its convenient position also provides easy access to Somerset West, Cape Town International Airport and the wider Cape Winelands.

Established vineyards and agricultural infrastructure:
A substantial portion of the farm is planted to established vineyards comprising a variety of red and white cultivars, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot, Pinotage, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Colombar, Clairette Blanche and Mataro.
The harvest is currently delivered to Stellenbosch Hills, where the farm holds shares. Detailed vineyard schedules, production information and an inventory of farm implements are available to qualified purchasers.
The farm’s granite soils, Mediterranean climate and cooling south-easterly breezes provide favourable conditions for viticulture and other agricultural activities.
Water infrastructure includes scheme water serving approximately 46 hectares, two large dams, and a borehole. The vineyards are under drip irrigation, while the garden surrounding the main residence has its own irrigation system.

Main residence:
Positioned to take advantage of the expansive views, the main residence faces west towards Table Mountain and the landscaped garden and swimming pool.
The home offers:
-Five bedrooms
-Three-and-a-half bathrooms
-Multiple living and reception areas
-Dining room
-Study
-Spacious kitchen with scullery
-Balcony with panoramic views
-Large lower-level entertainment area adjoining the pool

The mature garden, swimming pool and surrounding vineyards create a private and peaceful setting for relaxed family living and entertaining.

Additional buildings and accommodation:
A separate original Victorian farmhouse is situated across the road from the main residence. Currently used in connection with the farming operation, it requires comprehensive renovation and offers an opportunity to restore a character-filled historic home.
Additional improvements include various farm stores, a working yard and 13 farmworker cottages supporting the agricultural operation.
The property is supplied with Eskom electricity, municipal water to the main residence and borehole water serving the farmworker accommodation.

Considerable future potential:
While currently operated as a productive wine farm, the property’s scale, position and existing infrastructure may offer further potential for:
-Equestrian facilities
-Alternative cash crops
-A private wine cellar and tasting facility
-Hospitality or tourism-related activities
-A substantial private Winelands lifestyle estate
Any change or expansion of use would remain subject to the necessary feasibility investigations, zoning provisions and municipal or other approvals.
