ROBERTSON: DIVERSIFIED FARM WITH VINEYARDS, VEGETABLES AND FRUIT
This diversified and versatile 618 ha farm is situated approximately 30 kms south of Robertson in a prosperous agricultural area. It is not only a working farm, with a historic homestead, but also boasts beautiful scenery of green hills and snowcapped mountains in winter, and veld flowers in spring.
The property is reached via a tarred road from Robertson, followed by approximately 7 kilometers of dirt road which is kept in a good condition.
Water is sourced from a mountain spring, mountain run-off and several equipped boreholes. 6 large dams and 2 smaller dams are available for water storage. The Sonderend mountains form a splendid backdrop to the farming activities and the snow in the mountainous part of the farm result in good run-off during the winter.
A reservoir receiving a constant supply of pure, fresh water from one of the boreholes is set on a hill above the vineyards.
Water rights of 112 ha, at 7,000 m³/ha are registered to this farm. In normal, drought-free, circumstances the farm has sufficient water to irrigate in excess of 100 ha. All plantings are under drip - or micro irrigation.
The soil in this area is mostly deep red loam with good irrigation quality. It is suitable for practically every irrigable product including the wine grapes, apricots, peaches, and a variety of cash crop vegetables planted every season. These have included watermelon, gem squash, cabbage, beetroot, and artichokes. Markets are in place for all of the farm produce.
Neighbouring farmers grow blue berries, dragon fruit and citrus with equal success.
The quality grapes are sought-after and the harvest is sold to the co-op cellar, situated approximately 7 km from the farm, in a registered shareholding agreement.
All Global Gap and WIETA certifications are up to date.
The 2025 list of all plantings per hectare, covering 63 hectares, is available.
Permanent crops currently consist of 32 ha quality wine varietals and 10 ha of peaches and apricots combined.
Approximately 46 ha of arable land is cleared and can be planted with a long-term product or cash crops of choice.
Two transformers [50 kVa and 100 kVa] are situated close to the homestead, while a third transformer [50 kVa] is situated near the vineyards set at the opposite end of the farm.
The beautifully kept homestead with wooden floors, tall shutters, and solid ceilings dates back to the mid-19th Century when this area, known as Middelbosjesveld, was first inhabited by farmers that had moved inland from the Cape. The homestead has 4 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms, with office, entertainment areas, large kitchen and a swimming pool. The attic, accessible via a staircase outside, spans the same surface area as the ground floor.
A second, modern house, has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with all the required amenities. It also boasts a large indoor braai area and double garage.
A cellar building, double garage, several sheds for vehicles and farm machinery, 2 storerooms, a stable, a meat processing room and a cold-storage room complete the building infrastructure. All buildings are in a good state of upkeep.
A network of well-maintained roads gives access to orchards, vineyards, dams, boreholes, hills and valleys alike. There are numerous secluded spots where cottages could be built as an agri-tourism project. The scenic and remote destination lends itself to hiking and mountain-biking, or to simply enjoy the quiet of the county-side on easy saunters into the veldt. On drives around the farm different kinds of antelope might unexpectedly stray into view
Movable assets such as a truck, tractors, trailers, crops sprayers and rotovators are included in the sale. A list with approximate values is available.
Eight permanent staff members live at the farm. A staff list and contracts will be furnished.
Offered for sale as a running concern, at R 23,995,000.00 plus VAT.
