1 Slent Road, Paarl Rural, Western Cape 7620

Slent Almonds - This well-located 56-hectare farm is set against the striking backdrop of the Paardeberg Mountain, an important refuge to the increasingly threatened biodiversity of the smallest, richest plant kingdom on the planet, the Cape Floristic Region. More than 1 000 plant species have been identified on the mountain. The setting of the property with its historical homestead offers distant and wide panoramic views across the south and south-eastern landscapes below. While providing an authentic rural lifestyle, the farm is very accessible with its entrance being close to a good tarred road. It is conveniently situated by its proximity to Paarl, Wellington, Malmesbury, Stellenbosch and Cape Town.
Approximately 20 hectares of the farm is planted to almonds, complemented by a small area under Buchu, 2–3 hectares of open arable land and a mountainous section featuring pristine natural fynbos.
Irrigation water is supplied via the local scheme with an allocation of 18 hectares at 5 000 m³ per hectare per annum, totalling 90 000 m³ annually. Water is stored in an earthen dam, while potable water is sourced from two boreholes.
Electricity is supplied by Eskom and supplemented by a solar backup system comprising 16 panels, 60 kVA batteries, and 50 kVA inverters.
The main homestead which is newly renovated and well maintained, is set within established gardens with beautifully preserved old oak trees. The house includes four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study (or fifth bedroom), lounge, dining room, TV/playroom, a kitchen with sitting nook, separate scullery and laundry, guest toilet, and patios (stoeps) on both sides of the home, as well as a swimming pool and entertainment area.
Additional infrastructure includes a one-bedroom garden cottage, four enclosed garages, two open tractor garages, a large shed for almond processing and handling with various storage areas. All infrastructure is centrally positioned and secured by electric fencing and automated gates.
Separate from the main homestead area are eight staff units providing on-site accommodation for the required workforce.
