*** EXCLUSIVE LISTING ***
“VLAKVLEI FARM” was once a very successful dairy farm, situated on a hill with distant mountain views of Kasteelberg. Situated a mere 9.7km from the R45 (connecting Malmesbury with Saldahna Bay/Langebaan) along the ‘rooipad’ to Koringberg. While the farm already has the potential to yield R600,000 per annum from leasing out just the farm land, the true value lies in what the buildings offer. Without prompting, it feels as though the past milking shed - with its incredible high ceilings, double-volume steel windows and tower would make the perfect chapel. The main farmhouse consisting of 7 bedrooms, an enormous living room and kitchen, huge undercover stoep, and features like Oregon ceilings and recessed cupboards speak to its 100-year plus history…offering approximately 550sqm under roof. The farm includes an additional 4 cottages, which while in need of TLC, offer tastefully spread-out guest accommodation.
Two enormous warehouses, one of which includes the remnants of a blacksmith workshop, would make the perfect wedding venue or film studio. Possibly our favourite building is the mini two tower grain silo, which could be repurposed into accommodation or an art gallery with inspiration from the Zeitz Mocaa. There is also a wind farm about 9km away, which suggests that it might be possible to create renewable wind energy on a part of the farm.
The original milking buckets, pigeon coop with pocket nests, and stables with floor to ceiling shelves are still in place. If ever you’ve visited Motague’s repurposed KWV buildings/square, or Babylonstoren, you would immediately be able to visualize what VLAKVLEI FARM could be. With the continued expansion of the Northern Suburbs, West Coast, and new airport – this property may end up being a convenient commute into Cape Town in the new future, with boundless potential for numerous ways to enjoy it’s 329 hectares (3,3mill sqm).
