Description

In a valley where large landholdings seldom come to market, Goede Rust presents a rare and compelling proposition: 121.9 hectares of open mountain farmland just 3 km from the heart of Franschhoek — South Africa’s Culinary Capital and one of its most recognised international tourism destinations. For the discerning international investor, this is not merely a farm. It is a clean agricultural canvas of scale, positioned in a globally admired wine and hospitality corridor. SCALE , OPENNESS & VISION : Of the total extent , 62 hectares are suitable for agricultural development , offering exceptional flexibility for : - Boutique vineyard establishment - Equestrian facilities - Regenerative mixed farming biospheres - Hospitality integration around a working estate The openness of the landscape — unencumbered, expansive and contoured — allows a visionary owner to design a cohesive agricultural and hospitality masterplan from first principles. Large, development-ready farms of this size within the Franschhoek Valley are increasingly rare. TERROIR for the Authentic Vigneron The estate’s prized South-Western aspect provides balanced sun exposure and cooling afternoon conditions — highly sought after for premium viticulture. The soils reflect true mountain provenance : Stony “koffieklip” formations across the upper slopes, contributing structure and minerality for Rhone varietals Colluvial mid-slope gravel soils, well-drained and expressive for Chardonnay and lower , valley basin alluvial soils ideal for Semillion Varied elevations creating natural Cultivar differentiation which will enduce complexity to the wine produced. This diversity lends itself to a Vigneron focused on authentic , vineyard-specific artisanal wines — wines shaped by site, slope and soil rather than volume. With 62 hectares available, vineyard blocks may be integrated within broader Regenerative systems — livestock corridors , pasture rotation, and Biodiversity buffers — creating a balanced Agricultural Ecosystem rather than a monoculture estate. RUSTIC HERITAGE & HOSPITALITY POTENTIAL : At its heart stands a manor house dating back to 1819, carrying the quiet dignity of the valley’s French Huguenot heritage. The outer buildings are earthy and authentic offering a rare opportunity to renovate with sensitivity rather than reinvention. Additional structures, including a historic farm shed with old concrete fermentation tanks provide scope for: - A boutique wine cellar - Tasting facility - Farm-to-table restaurant - Event venue Two cottages offer immediate guest accommodation or hospitality income potential. The tone of the estate is honest and grounded — stone, soil and mountain — aligning naturally with a contemporary luxury market that increasingly values authenticity over excess. STRATEGIC LOCATION : Franschhoek is internationally recognised for : -Award-winning restaurants - Established wine estates - Boutique hospitality - Strong tourism infrastructure The estate is approximately one hour from Cape Town International Airport, making it accessible for global ownership while maintaining privacy. This offering appeals to : International wine investors seeking terroir-driven authenticity Lifestyle buyers wishing to establish a boutique estate with hospitality synergy Agricultural investors interested in regenerative mixed farming models Long-term landholders securing scarce mountain acreage in a Blue-chip valley True to its name — Goede Rust (“Good Rest”) — this is land that invites thoughtful stewardship. A rare mountain canvas. Substantial in scale. Grounded in heritage. Ready for vision.
