This picturesque farm is nestled on the foothills of the Riviersonderend Mountains near McGregor in the Overberg area of the Western Cape, a mere 2 hour drive from Cape Town International Airport. The farm is meticulously well managed and maintained, offering diverse income streams from vineyards, peach, apricot and vegetables and three dwellings.
