A 300-Hectare Legacy Estate | Wellington, Western Cape
Price: R75,200,000 (Excl. VAT)
A Heritage of Excellence
Linton Park’s origins trace back to 1699, when the farm De Slange Rivier was granted to Louis Fourie, a French Huguenot pioneer credited as one of Wellington’s early winemakers. The name, inspired by the winding “Snake River” still flowing from the Groenberg Mountain, anchors the estate in a proud lineage of viticultural innovation.
Today, Linton Park remains one of the Cape’s most historic and fully operational wine estates, its 17th-century heritage seamlessly blending with cutting-edge agricultural and cellar infrastructure. The Cape Dutch Manor House (1806), beautifully restored, stands as a centrepiece of timeless architecture and understated grandeur.
Exceptional Terroir | Proven Winemaking Heritage
Situated on the northern slopes of the Groenberg in Wellington — South Africa’s premier grapevine propagation region — the estate’s 88 hectares of vineyards thrive in diverse, world-class terroir. Benefiting from a unique microclimate shaped by the Hawequa Mountains, the vineyards enjoy cool airflow and balanced temperatures, producing fruit with remarkable complexity and depth.
The estate yields over 1,000 tonnes annually across both red and white cultivars — a testament to its soil diversity and precise vineyard management.
