A Vineyard Opportunity At The Gateway To The Franschhoek Valley

This is a premium 2.8-hectare boutique agricultural property, perfectly positioned at the entrance of the world-renowned Franschhoek Valley. Holding this land means owning a piece of the valley’s soul. While it feels like a private, pastoral sanctuary, it sits just moments away from the heartbeat of Franschhoek Village. You are minutes from the vibrant High Street, where mornings are spent drifting between pavement bistros, restaurants, curated art galleries, and eclectic boutique shops. It offers the quintessential Franschhoek lifestyle—peaceful vineyard living with cosmopolitan culture right on your doorstep.
Originally part of the historic and prestigious La Motte Wine Estate, this land combines deep-rooted heritage with active, income-generating viticulture. Held by the same family trust since 1972, this rare gem offers an emotional and exceptional investment for wine enthusiasts or developers looking to leave their own legacy in South Africa’s premier wine region.
The land is fully zoned as Agricultural Zone 1, protecting its rural charm, sweeping mountain views, and viticultural purpose. The vineyard is planted to trellised Pinotage grapes ,established in 1999. It features a fully automated micro-drip irrigation system tailored for high-quality Rosé wine production, with steady and reliable proven yields. The property will feature a sole servitude borehole drilled just meters outside the boundary line, tested to yield an abundant water supply, while there are also excellent prospects for further internal borehole exploration. Direct Eskom electricity access is available via an on-border transformer (upgrades may be required depending on your specific development needs). Access to the property is secured via a practical ’pan-handle’ road servitude connecting directly to the R45.
The owning entity is VAT registered. Because the farm generates active agricultural income, the 15% VAT is fully recoverable as input VAT, provided the buyer is correctly registered for VAT, making this a highly attractive commercial transition.
