Olive Lifestyle Farm in Devonvale

Excludes VAT

This private smallholding is situated just above the Devonvale Golf Estate on a gentle slope, surrounded by vineyards, views, and other upmarket farms.

This property presents itself with many opportunities! Bring the horses—there is ample room, lovely outrides, and close proximity to show grounds. You could also run an Airbnb; the apartment can easily be converted into two separate apartments. And continue with the established olive oil business.

Currently run as an established olive farm planted with Kalamata, Cerignola, Nocellara, Coratina, and Mission olives. There are established trees with drip irrigation and nursery facilities for young seedlings. There are also five planters where vegetables are grown and an orchard of lemon trees that look after themselves as you enter. The spacious, light-filled home has beautiful views of the garden, which has a range of mature trees creating a green paradise, and views of the vineyards of the adjacent farm. With two porch areas: one is decked with shading in place, looking onto the spectacular rim-flow pool, and the other leads from the kitchen for casual family braais under the vines. The kitchen is large with a separate pantry and a big scullery area, all open-plan flowing into the dining room and lounge with a huge fireplace, which keeps the home warm in winter.

Three large-sized en-suite bedrooms are all together, which is ideal if you have younger children. The windows are fitted with American wooden shutters, all looking onto the Balau pool deck. There is also a large study with a fireplace, ample cupboards, and workspace. The home can be accessed from two separate double garages, which are situated under the home, or from the front door flowing off the circular driveway. There is also a large wine cellar and an adjacent room for an extra office area or storage, or another flatlet.

The apartment is on two levels; on each level is a bedroom, with a beautiful kitchen/dining area with a fireplace, a study area, and a walk-in closet with a large balcony. It could easily be used as part of the house, kept separate, or made into two separate apartments. There is also a manager’s house, which consists of one bedroom and has its own garage.

There are beams bordering the property and the house and CCTV cameras that are monitored. This property is completely off-grid and recently upgraded; it can easily be reconnected, as there is a substation at the edge of the farm. There are 40 solar panels, a supercapacitor (no lithium), and a 22k Kohler generator. There are five water tanks, and the water is from Theewaterskloof Scheme and is also connected to municipal water lines.

Experience country life on this peaceful, picturesque property whilst enjoying the many surrounding wine farms and restaurants and the convenience of close proximity to shops, with Stellenbosch being a 17-minute drive away.
