Features and description
In ancient Greek, “drakeîn” means “to see clearly”. There is no better description for this pristine lifestyle wine farm, hugged by the Drakenstein mountains.
The modern farmhouse is surrounded by 26,66 ha of land, from which 3,65 ha is planted under wine grapes (2,3 ha Pinotage and 1,35 ha of Shiraz). With a Water Use License for 40 000 m3, more vineyards can be planted and sustainably cultivated under irrigation. The farm is ipw and wieta certified and the grapes are contracted by a well known brand owner for their ultra premium wine ranges. An arrangement to retain a sufficient volume of wine grapes for garagiste style winemaking already is in place.
A working wine cellar with a capacity of ± 2 000 bottles (equal to 7 x 225 liter small oak barrels) per vintage, complete with industrial chillers, fermentation bins, crusher destemmer, press, pumps and pipes. Cellar is insulated with cellar grade cement floors.
The homestead consists of 3 en suite bedrooms, lounge, living room, dining room, well equipped kitchen with pantry, a study, stoep / patio / pergolas / deck with all round views, braai area, office, gym room, swimming pool and a wine cellar. Additionally (but part of the homestead footprint) there is a luxury private 2 bedroom apartment of 180 m2 with own bathroom, kitchen, living room, dining room, braai area, garden and a separate swimming pool. The apartment is ideal to integrate as part of the main house, alternatively to let for a rental income or to be made available as an Airbnb facility.
Energy is provided by a professionally designed bi directional solar system. A state of the art water treatment plant ensures pure water fit for household consumption.
The following security measures are in place:
• A fully serviced electric fence runs along the entire perimeter of the farm (total of 2.2km);
• A monitored anti burrow 2,4 m Beta Fence with 7 strands around the homestead;
• Off premises monitored analytic perimeter cameras (x 11), monitored by Astrosec “black screen” control room in Cape Town (similar system as used by the top gated estates in Paarl/Franschhoek);
• Speakers around house to warn intruders and to communicate to reaction teams;
• pir detection alarm system inside the house;
• Two bedrooms are safe rooms with roller cages in front of doors;
• Member of Drakenstein Farm Watch.
An ideal opportunity to live your own winemaking dream in a safe and secure environment, but without the hustle and bustle of the typical gated estate.
The vendor is VAT registered (asking price excludes VAT). Available as a going concern.
