This historical site was once a vibrant wine making facility in Stellenbosch when co-ops were the thing but now it requires someone with new ideas and a fresh entrepreneurial spirit to breathe new life into this business. The buildings consist of a very large production and storage facility and a number of additional buildings that include a two bedroomed managers cottage and a second cottage which could be used for a senior staff member. There are several smaller cottages which can be used for staff or simply kept as rental cottages. There is a full weighing bridge with security building to control all data for this facility. The property itself is on 4.5ha of prime land which includes a long strip running just off Baden Powell Road which offers additional commercial development opportunities. The gardens have an outdoor entertainment and braai area which could be used as a tea garden or anything else one can think up. There are very nice lawns which could also be used in some innovative way to generate income.Briefly, this facility has the capacity to crush 3,000 tons of white grapes and 1,200 tons of red grapes annually with a tartrate stabilization capacity of 9 million litres annually. There is over 6,3 million litres capacity in huge stainless steel tanks with concrete and glass fibre tanks making up the difference. With this massive capacity, you could buy up large quantities of excess grapes and offer private labelling facilities or with an established market, use the very well known in-house wine maker to create wines that are suitable to your markets tastes. Here, you are not restricted by the vineyards you own but are free to buy in whatever the market requires at the time. There is an opportunity to approach local vineyards to supply you with your product and then to create wines which can be exported around the world and even into the local market.For more information or to setup up a meeting to discuss various options, call us to arrange a suitable time to meet and then we can arrange a viewing.
