What could you create on 25 hectares near Gansbaai and Lomond Wine Estate?
Set on 25 hectares in the rural landscape near Gansbaai and Lomond Wine Estate, this is an opportunity for someone with the imagination, resources and patience to create something genuinely memorable.
It does not need to become another Babylonstoren. It could become the first Uilenkraal.
Picture the existing dwellings thoughtfully restored as simple, beautifully finished farm cottages. A productive kitchen garden supplying seasonal produce for long-table lunches. Rows of vines, olives, lavender, indigenous botanicals or fruit trees adding structure and purpose to the landscape.
Imagine guests arriving for a quiet weekend in the Overberg, waking to open farmland and clean country air. They spend the morning walking through the gardens, visit nearby wine farms or the coast, then return for dinner beside a fire as the sun drops behind the hills.
There could be intimate weddings beneath old trees, food and wine weekends, wellness retreats, creative workshops or small private functions. A renovated outbuilding could become a tasting room, farm shop, studio, bakery or gathering space. The additional dwellings could potentially accommodate guests, extended family, staff or rental tenants.
None of this has been created yet. That is precisely the opportunity.
The buyer is not paying a premium for somebody else’s finished vision.
The property may suit the creation of:
A boutique guest farm with individually styled cottages
An intimate country wedding and function venue
A small wine, olive, botanical or specialist agricultural project
A farm-to-table food and garden destination
A wellness, yoga or creative retreat
A private multi-generational country estate
Any commercial, tourism, agricultural or accommodation concept would naturally remain subject to the necessary feasibility studies, land-use rights, zoning and approvals.
The existing footprint
The main residence offers three bedrooms and generous living space. It requires attention and upgrading, but gives the next owner a substantial starting footprint from which to work.
Two additional dwellings are also situated on the farm and require renovation. Rather than beginning with entirely undeveloped land, a buyer has existing structures that may potentially be repurposed according to their plans and the relevant approvals.
The opportunity is not to preserve the property exactly as it stands. It is to recognise what these buildings could become when approached with good architecture, landscaping and a clear commercial or lifestyle vision.
The farm already has meaningful off-grid energy infrastructure, including:
A 30kW three-phase inverter
A 10kW EP battery
35 x 555W solar panels
An available Eskom connection that is not presently being used
Water is supplied from a natural spring, with sufficient water currently available to support the property and basic farming activity, including through the dry season.
The farm lies approximately ten minutes from Gansbaai and close to Lomond Wine Estate, with Stanford, Hermanus, Grootbos and the wider Cape Whale Coast within reach.
This places it in an area already associated with wine, food, nature, conservation, coastal tourism and high-quality rural accommodation.
Guests could spend their days visiting vineyards, exploring the coast, walking through fynbos landscapes or enjoying the attractions around Gansbaai, before returning to the privacy of the farm.
For its owner, it provides the freedom of rural living without being cut off from towns, services and established tourism routes.
This is not a turnkey boutique estate
The homes need work. The landscape needs direction. Any hospitality or agricultural concept would require planning, capital and professional input.
But finished destination farms are seldom available at the beginning of their story.
The land is here. The water is here. The infrastructure is here. The next chapter belongs to the buyer with the vision to bring it together.
