It features a fully automated micro-drip irrigation system tailored for high-quality Rose´ wine production, with steady and reliable proven yields. The property will feature a sole servitude borehole drilled just meters outside the boundary line, tested to yield an abundant water supply, while there are also excellent prospects for further internal borehole exploration.

Access to the property is secured via a practical 'pan-handle' road servitude connecting directly to the R45. The owning entity is VAT registered.
