Rare Wemmershoek Fruit Farm with Exceptional Water Security, Infrastructure & Mountain Views

Set in one of the Cape Winelands’ most breathtaking agricultural valleys, Morelig Farm offers a rare opportunity to acquire a productive fruit farm with exceptional water security, established infrastructure and world-class mountain scenery.

This 189.26 ha farm combines commercial farming capacity with lifestyle appeal, making it ideal for an established fruit producer, agri-investor, family office or buyer looking to secure a premium rural estate near Franschhoek.

The farm includes established orchards planted to prunes and nectarines, with approximately 39.4 ha of current and potential fruit production land. The orchard profile includes prunes planted in 2019, mature prune blocks of approximately 12 to 15 years, nectarines planted in 2019 and additional open fruit land available for future planting. Irrigation is supported by micro systems, with computerized irrigation and moisture meters on selected blocks.

Water is one of the strongest features of this property. The farm has a borehole with a reported capacity of approximately 90,000 litres per hour, surface water allocation from the Wemmershoek dam and river system, and water rights calculated at 52 ha x 4,000 m3 per hectare. The property benefits from mountain runoff and abundant water availability, giving serious agricultural buyers the confidence required for long-term fruit production.

Infrastructure is extensive and practical. Improvements include a main farm homestead, eight 2-bedroom worker houses, a large 7,000 sqm export fruit packhouse, a 150 sqm carton packhouse, a cold room with capacity for approximately 250 large fruit bins, two refrigerated cooling containers and a roofed machinery / vehicle shelter.

Power supply is also well supported, with Eskom supply points of 50 KVA and 150 KVA, a 150 KVA generator powering the pumps, packhouse and buildings, and solar installed on the main buildings. This integrated energy setup supports continuity across farming, packing and operational functions.

Beyond production, Morelig Farm offers extraordinary lifestyle value. The historic homestead, landscaped setting, river and mountain views create a private farm atmosphere that is difficult to replicate. Its position near Franschhoek, Paarl and the wider Cape Winelands places it close to some of South Africa’s most renowned restaurants, wine estates and hospitality destinations.

This is not simply a farm with beautiful views. It is a rare agricultural asset with water, production, infrastructure, accommodation, lifestyle appeal and future upside in one of the Western Cape’s most desirable rural locations.
