2009 and building has finally started after 5 years!! The first - and hopefully not the last building is a 1 bedroom cottage comprising a living, dining and kitchen area with an olive and wine cellar as well as a olive and wine preparation work area to the rear of the T shape building. The following pictures were/are being taken at 1 week intervals. The building started at the beginning of August 2009 with the first photo's taken on the 9th August 2009 of the open trenches. There was a delay before the concrete could be cast, waiting for the plans to be approved

December 2013 and Phase 2 has commenced. The construction of a 3 bedroom dwelling is well on its way and completion is expected at the end of April 2014. The new building has the exact footprint of the stage 1, the cottage and has the addition of a outside entertainment/braai area that is under a total covered roof, as well as a utility room, comprising a kitchenette, tasting room and farm stall, integrated in the same entertainment area.

2020 saw the construction of a large workshop and bachelor type accommodation for the farm worker.
