An exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully operational Italian restaurant and lifestyle property positioned on the highly visible R62 Wine Route in Calitzdorp, one of the Klein Karoo's most popular tourism corridors.
For over 10 years, this well-known, family-run restaurant has built a loyal local and tourist following through authentic Italian cuisine, a welcoming atmosphere, and breathtaking vineyard and mountain views, creating a true destination dining experience.
The main property (2,413 m²) comprises the restaurant, outdoor stoep, a spacious one-bedroom flat with ample built-in cupboards, office workspace, a full bathroom and guest toilet, as well as a separate warehouse. The warehouse offers exciting potential for conversion into additional commercial space, a second residence, or even a function or conference venue.
The restaurant comfortably accommodates 34 indoor guests, complemented by outdoor al fresco dining, picnic seating and family-friendly spaces.
The property is well equipped with a 12-panel solar system with two lithium batteries, as well as four water tanks connected to a booster pump system, allowing water supply during municipal interruptions. There are also 30 olive trees on the property.
The sale includes the fully equipped kitchen, restaurant furniture, equipment, established recipes, and a 30-day handover and training period by the current owners, allowing a seamless transition for the new owner.
A second property (1,219 m²) is included in the sale. This vacant erf is also planted with 30 olive trees and features a 17 m × 5.5 m concrete slab, previously used for concrete block manufacturing. The slab presents an excellent foundation for future development, whether for storage containers, a greenhouse, boutique accommodation, or other expansion opportunities.
Positioned directly on the renowned R62 Wine Route, the property enjoys outstanding visibility and benefits from consistent passing traffic between Cape Town, Oudtshoorn and the Garden Route, making it ideally suited to both destination dining and passing trade.
The seller is not VAT registered.
Property Rates: Approximately R1,690 per month.
