A Dream Realised
A Proven Destination. A Life Well Lived.
Set between Plettenberg Bay and Knysna, is a rare offering that seamlessly blends lifestyle, income potential, and sustainable country living. Developed by the current owners over the past five years as a self sufficient working farm, the property combines an award winning boutique vineyard, a thriving destination restaurant, and a private family residence, all positioned to embrace the natural beauty and tranquility of the Garden Route.
"We developed our dream property," the owners explain. "It is self sufficient, a lifestyle as well as a hobby and importantly, income generating."
Arriving via a quiet country road just off the N2, the transition is immediate: traffic noise fades into birdsong, vineyards unfold across rolling land, and manicured gardens guide you toward the heart of the estate. Luka has become a well loved destination for both locals and visitors, celebrated for its relaxed atmosphere, honest food, and exclusive estate produced wines.
At the centre of the commercial offering is the contemporary, industrial inspired restaurant, bold yet warm in character.
"The location is ideal," the owners note. "Close enough to the N2 to draw visitors and far enough away to feel peaceful and immersed in nature." Brick walls, exposed rafters and mono pitched ceilings create volume and texture, while full height roll up clear panels open the space entirely to the surrounding vineyards in summer. Twin fireplaces anchor the room during cooler months, ensuring year round appeal. The restaurant seats approximately 60 guests indoors, with additional outdoor seating spread across sun filled lawns and terraces.
A dedicated bar, boutique wine display, and semi concealed professional kitchen support smooth service, while a separate scullery building keeps operational logistics discreet. Beyond the main terrace, a timber framed pizza kitchen overlooks a lily filled pond, accompanied by shaded seating and a children’s play area, encouraging long, leisurely lunches and family friendly gatherings.
Only 300 sqm of the approved 500 sqm commercial rights are currently utilized, leaving meaningful scope for expansion. With established zoning, consent use, liquor licenses and water abstraction rights in place, the estate presents immediate and flexible commercial opportunity, whether as an events venue, micro brewery, boutique tasting room, wedding destination or expanded hospitality offering. Convert the restaurant into stables and have an equestrian estate, the land is ideal for paddocks and pastures.
The vineyard spans approximately three hectares and was established in 2008, with plantings of predominantly Sauvignon Blanc, complemented by Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Converted to organic practices by the current owner, the vineyard is both productive and deeply personal.
"We love the vineyards," the owners share. "There is something incredibly rewarding about bottling and labelling your own wine, especially when it is enjoyed right here on the farm." Grapes are processed off site, with bottling, labelling and sales taking place on the estate, exclusively through the restaurant, creating a rare and intimate wine experience.
Privately positioned beyond its own automated gate, the main residence is entirely separate from the commercial areas, offering peace, privacy and a distinctly different rhythm of life. North facing and overlooking a serene dam, the home is surrounded by rolling lawns, mature trees and pockets of landscaped garden, with mountain views completing the outlook.
The house offers generous open plan living beneath high gabled ceilings, with the kitchen, lounge and dining areas flowing effortlessly to shaded verandas and outdoor entertaining spaces. A fireplace anchors the living room, while large sliding doors frame views across the garden and water. Four bedrooms provide comfortable family accommodation, including a spacious main suite opening directly to the garden. A dedicated study enjoys natural light and calm views, ideal for remote work or creative focus.
Designed for resilience and sustainability, the estate operates largely off grid.
"As custodians of the planet, we believe it is our responsibility to adopt sustainable and ethical practices wherever possible," the owners explain. Infrastructure includes a powerful solar system, backup generator, 3 phase Eskom connection, strong borehole, two main dams, and rainwater harvesting across all buildings. Security is comprehensive yet unobtrusive, with electric fencing, camera systems and controlled access ensuring peace of mind.
Luka Vineyard has been a deeply lived in chapter for its owners, a place where family, hospitality, sustainability and craftsmanship came together.
"We have embraced and loved these five years of living the dream," the owners say. "Now that our children have left home, we are ready to set sail and travel again." With the next phase calling them back to travel, the opportunity now exists for a new custodian to step into a fully operational, beautifully balanced estate with room to evolve.
This is not only a property, but a proven lifestyle, rooted in land, community and possibility.
