Farm for sale in Montagu Rural

Established Montagu Vineyard Farm with Exceptional Water Security

Hidden in one of Montagu’s most fertile and picturesque valleys lies a rare agricultural gem — a fully operational, income-generating farm with deep roots and a bright future. This isn’t a lifestyle plot or a part-time venture — it’s a serious, working farm with scale, security, and sustainability at its core. Included in the sale are shares and quota in the Montagu Wine Cellar — a testament to this property's integration into the region's wine economy.

Water: The Ultimate Asset

One of the farm’s most impressive features is its extraordinary water security — a priceless advantage in modern agriculture. The farm holds secure allocations from both the Pietersfontein Dam (17 hectares) and the Cogmanskloof Irrigation Board (5 hectares), ranking it among the highest water users from the dam. Built in 1968, the Pietersfontein Dam holds a staggering 2 million cubic meters, ensuring a stable and ongoing supply.

Additionally, four boreholes serve as supplementary sources, delivering impressive output rates of 15, 8, 20, and 7 cubic meters per hour respectively. In short, this farm’s water infrastructure is robust, reliable, and futureproof.

Productive and Professionally Managed

Spanning 16.2 hectares under vineyard, the farm cultivates both red and white wine varietals — all professionally maintained and actively contributing to the local wine economy. Complementing the vineyards are 4.5 hectares of established stone fruit trees, adding diversity and further income potential.

A Farm with a Greater Purpose

Beyond agriculture, the property is proudly part of the 10,000-hectare Pietersfontein Conservancy — a collaboration among 17 landowners across 31 farms, committed to protecting the area's unique biodiversity. The conservancy encompasses three significant vegetation types: Fynbos, Renosterveld, and Succulent Karoo. Here, environmental responsibility goes hand in hand with agricultural excellence.

Homestead with Heart and Heritage

The solid double-storey, four-bedroom main house is ready for new life. With some modern updates and personal flair, it could become a welcoming family residence or a charming guesthouse. The spacious upstairs loft opens to a large recreation area with sweeping views of the vineyards — a perfect retreat or entertaining space. A character-filled barn and garage add to the homestead’s authenticity and potential for creative use.

A Rare Opportunity

This is not just a property sale — it’s a passing of the baton. A chance to take the reins of a proven, sustainable farming operation with built-in water resilience, steady income, and a place in a larger conservation legacy.

In an age where fertile land, secure water, and income potential are increasingly scarce, this Montagu farm offers a rare and valuable combination — quietly confident, deeply rooted, and full of promise.
