Tulbagh Wine Farm with Historic Homestead
Description
This Tulbagh Wine Farm offers a charming blend of historic charm and modern amenities, nestled in the serene setting of the Tulbagh Valley with stunning views of the Witzenberg Mountains. The estate's main attraction is its beautifully preserved 1792 Cape Dutch-style Manor home, designated as a Historic Monument. This elegant residence features original Yellowwood floors and ceilings, along with a notable built-in cupboard listed in the South African Architectural Digest, adding to its historical significance and aesthetic appeal. In addition to the Manor home, the estate boasts a 180sqm guest house and three cottages, providing comfortable accommodations for guests or additional residents. The wine production facilities are housed in a spacious 600sqm wine cellar, equipped with the necessary infrastructure for crafting premium quality wines. The estate benefits from soils similar to those found in the Rhone Valley of France and a unique micro-climate characterized by late sunrises due to mountain shadows and cool mists that envelop the vineyards most nights. These climatic conditions, combined with warm daytime temperatures, create an optimal environment for cultivating a diverse range of estate varietals, including Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Mourvedre, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Grenache, and Nouvelle. The estate's vineyards are meticulously maintained under drip irrigation, supplied by registered water sources sourced from mountain streams and boreholes, and stored in two dams, ensuring sustainable water management practices. Additional amenities include four garages, a gym, laundry facilities, a storeroom, an implement shed, and a store, catering to the practical needs of the estate. With 1767sqm of paved driveways, access throughout the property is convenient and well-maintained, enhancing the overall functionality and aesthetic appeal of the estate. Overall, this Tulbagh Wine Farm offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of South African heritage while indulging in the luxury of modern wine country living.
