The farm, surrounded by mountains and lying adjacent to the Berg River, is just 12km from the town of Franschhoek and neighbours Bellingham, Boschendal and L’Ormarins wine estates.  The property is about 12km from Paarl, 15km from Stellenbosch and 45km from the centre of Cape Town and Cape Town international Airport.  The exclusive Bridgehouse Private School is no more than 1km from the main entrance to the farm.

The longest boundary of the farm is the Berg River from which the property gets water for irrigation under the Berg River water scheme, which allows for 17ha irrigation.

The 26.1668ha farm is presently planted with about 4ha Sauvignon Blanc, 1.5ha South African Riesling grapes, 1.5ha lemons and 1.5ha of pears. A further 2.5ha produces Buffalo grass for resale. Buffalo grass is being planted on an ongoing basis which will substantially increase the annual turnover.

The farm is equipped with a main homestead, as well as a three bedroomed house, two two bedroomed homes, a self contained one bedroom cottage, three bachelor flats and four labourer’s cottages.

Comments Albie Loubser of Auction Alliance, “This is a beautiful farm, situated in picturesque surroundings with stunning views and offers the opportunity for future development, which makes it a solid investment.”

The auction takes place on site at La Chanelle, at 11am on October 8.
