Boutique country living
Vineyards, orchards, mountain views and gardens that have had time to settle into themselves. Set on 8,97 hectares in Wellington’s sought-after Bovlei area, Stone Country Estate brings together family living, hospitality and small-scale wine production in a setting shaped by the quiet beauty of the Cape Winelands.
Surrounded by four hectares of vineyards, guava orchards and mature trees, this farm for sale in the Winelands feels grounded in the easy rituals of country life – fires lit on cooler evenings, guests arriving for the weekend, long lunches with the mountains keeping watch in the background.
Just an hour from Cape Town, it occupies that increasingly sought-after middle ground between working wine farm, welcoming retreat and well-established lifestyle destination.
The homestead
At the heart of the estate sits a gracious Cape Dutch-style family home designed for gathering, entertaining and everyday ease.
A spacious entrance hall opens into generous living spaces centred around an open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area with a fireplace bringing warmth to the room. A separate entertainment kitchen and lounge create additional space for family meals, celebrations or slower afternoons spent at home.
The four-bedroom house includes three bathrooms, a guest bathroom, a study and a main en-suite bedroom with a private balcony.
Outside, gardens, mountain views and a private pool create places to linger through summer days or retreat to after time among the vines.
The art of hosting
Hospitality already forms part of life here. For those seeking a boutique guest farm for sale, Stone Country Estate’s guest accommodation is established without feeling overworked or overly commercial. The estate’s TGCSA-graded 4-star boutique guesthouse comprises five en-suite guest suites, lounge areas, air-conditioning and an infinity pool overlooking the surrounding landscape.
Privately positioned among the orchards, a separate self-catering two-bedroom/two-bathroom cottage with its own swimming pool adds another layer of accommodation.
Along the northern boundary of the farm, a popular restaurant and art gallery extend the sense of welcome beyond the guesthouse itself. Together, they bring food, creativity and connection naturally into the daily life of the estate.
Wine & working land
This wine farm for sale in Wellington currently produces award-winning, small-batch wines from four hectares of vineyards.
Alongside the vines are guava orchards, horse paddocks and the practical elements that quietly support life on a working estate – two equipped boreholes, an earthen dam for additional water storage and established irrigation infrastructure.
The result is a property with real breadth: productive yet deeply liveable, capable of supporting both agricultural and hospitality pursuits without losing its sense of ease.
The opportunity
Whether continued as it is or gently reimagined by a future owner, Stone Country Estate presents a compelling opportunity for sale in Wellington. With luxury accommodation, award-winning wine production, established hospitality, restaurant and gallery spaces and the enduring beauty of the surrounding landscape, this is a distinctive farm for sale in Western Cape wine country.
For buyers exploring property for sale in the Cape Winelands, a boutique guest farm or a wine farm for sale with personality, proven foundations and room for the next chapter, Stone Estate offers a thoughtful balance of work, welcome and country life.
