Wine farm for sale in Riebeek Kasteel

Situated on the gentler slopes of Kasteelberg, Meershof (135ha) is a farm steeped in history with it's origin dating back to 1751 when the first vines were planted on the farm, then known as Wynkeldershoek. Today there is no vineyards left, but an expansive and modern cellar (688m²) with over 400 ton capacity (±400 000 liters), will allow for any enthusiastic winemaker to put it's stamp on the winemaking industry. A large tasting room, conference room and functions venue enhances the property's commercial appeal.

Additional to the commercial infrastructure, a three bedroom house is occupied by the farm manager with 4 workers cottages providing staff accommodation. Two barns and a workshop are dotted around the farmhouse.

Partly covered in wheat fields with ±35ha of arable land, and partly mountain with magnificent views towards Cape Town and Table mountain as well as the Riebeek valley, makes the location ideal to establish hospitality accommodation. An existing glamping tent on a remote part of the farm offers an excellent base to start such an endeavor. The farm is easily accessible as it it only 1.2km from the main artery between Riebeek Kasteel and Malmesbury. Picturesque Riebeek Kasteel is 5km towards the north east and Malmesbury 15km towards the south west.
