Two Wineland farms under the hammer in October auction

Two agricultural properties in the Wellington-Paarl valley are up for auction this month through Broll Auctions and Sales, offering investors, producers, and lifestyle farmers an opportunity to acquire premium land in one of the Western Cape’s prime viticultural regions.

“We are seeing growing demand for quality agricultural properties in the province,” says Riaan Groenewald, agricultural specialist broker at Broll Auctions and Sales.

“Wellington, with its fertile soils, good rainfall, and proximity to Cape Town, Paarl, and the Cape Winelands Airport, which will reportedly break ground before year-end, is attractive to both local and international buyers.”

Goedeverwagting Farm

Goedeverwagting Farm, situated on scenic Sonstraal Road just minutes from Wellington’s CBD, is a 16ha irrigated holding. The property includes a four-bedroom farmhouse, six farmworkers’ cottages, and is supported by drainage and irrigation infrastructure with water rights.

Productive vineyards mean the property lends itself to boutique viticulture and olive farming, equestrian pursuits, and lifestyle farming. The setting offers strategic accessibility combined with rural ambience, scenic views, and privacy.

Hoccheim Farm

Nearby Hochheim Farm is an expansive 18,57ha holding presenting a more substantial agricultural investment. It features a five-bedroom main residence, flatlet, tennis court, numerous outbuildings, and 10 farmworkers’ cottages.

The farm supports established vineyards with yields of 10t/ha, as well as irrigated lucerne production. Registered water rights underpin the operation, with stores and sheds supporting farming activities.

The auction of these two farms, which forms part of Broll’s multi-property auction on 16 October, is expected to draw keen interest from the agricultural community, especially from parties wishing to expand into the Western Cape’s premium wine and fruit regions.

“Each property offers both immediate production potential and opportunities for value-adding or redevelopment, depending on the buyer’s ambition,” adds Groenewald.
