Description

3.8 hectare lifestyle farm amidst the serene countryside of the breathtaking lanscapes of Stellenbosch, surrounded by vineyard vistas and olive groves.

Timeless traditions of an olive farm.

Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Stellenbosch lies an olive farm that has been a beacon of tradition and cultivation since its establishment in 2007. Here, amidst the serene countryside, surrounded by vineyard vistas, and just a few kilometres away from the historic town of Stellenbosch, you’ll find yourself immersed in a world where the art of olive cultivation thrives.
 
Spanning across 3.8 hectares, this vibrant tapestry of agricultural activity is predominantly devoted to the cultivation of olives. Nestled amidst the olive groves, lemon trees impart a refreshing citrus note to the landscape, while a flourishing vegetable garden ensures a steady supply of fresh produce year-round. With a reliable water supply sourced from both Theewaterskloof water allocation and municipal sources, the farm sustains its lush vegetation.
 
The farm's infrastructure is a collection of structures, each designed to enhance efficiency and productivity. The stately manor house exudes comfort and elegance, with the self-catering guest accommodation offering a peaceful retreat for guests. The manager's cottage provides a welcome home for those overseeing the day-to-day affairs, while a functional farm implement storage shed is where equipment is stored.
 
At the heart of the estate lies the stunning manor house, an impressive 671 m² of luxurious living space. Here, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms, all en-suite, for ultimate comfort and privacy. A gracious study provides the perfect space for productive work or quiet contemplation. An open-plan layout seamlessly connects the kitchen, lounge/TV room, and dining area. An enclosed fireplace adds warmth and ambiance to the living space. A vine-covered patio, complete with a barbeque for outdoor entertaining and dining, a balau deck overlooking the rim-flow pool offers an oasis for relaxation and rejuvenation.
 
The self-catering guest accommodation provides the perfect retreat for guests. Featuring two bedrooms en-suite, a study, laundry facilities, a fully equipped kitchen, and a sitting area with an enclosed fireplace and carport.
 
With ample water allocation through the Theewaterskloof Scheme and municipal sources, water storage tanks are strategically positioned throughout the property to ensure a steady supply for irrigation and cultivation. Energy supply is sourced through a combination of Eskom 3 Phase, a Kohler generator and a solar system, reducing reliance on traditional energy sources.
 
Olives include Kalamata, Nocellara, Frantoio, Coratina, Cerignola, and Mission olives, each contributing to a diverse and flavourful harvest.
 
Living on an olive farm nestled in the embrace of abundant bird life, where each day is painted with picturesque sunsets and serenaded by nature's symphony.
