Farm For Sale in Paarl Central
This 36-hectare farm is superbly located in a sought-after agricultural area, enjoying panoramic views over the beautiful Paarl and Berg River valleys. The fertile soils are perfectly suited to a wide range of crops, including fruit, lucerne, pastures, cash crops, and vineyards.
Exceptional Water Security – Gravity Fed from Ashanti Dam
Irrigation water is supplied via gravity from the elevated Ashanti Dam, owned by local farmers and managed by the Palmiet River Irrigation Board. Water pressure on the farm ranges from 1–3 bar, depending on field elevation, allowing approximately 60% of the lands to be irrigated via drip lines and sprinklers without the use of pumps. This provides a substantial saving on municipal electricity costs.
The farm’s annual allocation of 100,000 m³ is fully registered with the Palmiet River Irrigation Board.
A borehole with a capacity of 35,000 l/h is also available, although it is not currently in use.
Soil type
Most farms in this region feature a mix of granite and alluvial soils, which contributes to the area’s strong suitability for wine, fruit, and irrigated farming. The majority of the farm’s soil is classified as Clovelly soil type, characterized by yellowish-brown sandy loam. It is deep, well-drained, and contains few stones, making it ideal for agricultural use. The land is slightly sloped and the soil offers excellent workability and supports strong root penetration.

Twenty-three hectares are under cultivars such as Chenin Blanc (4.03 ha), Sauvignon Blanc (2.67 ha), Pinotage (5.4 ha), Shiraz (5.1 ha), Viognier (3.0 ha), and Chardonnay (3.03 ha). On average, about 10 t/ha is produced. Quality grapes are currently supplied to the nearby Nederburg Cellar.
Additional arable land includes ±3.5 ha of dryland oats hay in winter, and ±2 ha of lucerne or teff under sprinkler irrigation.
