Grading
Uitsig is listed in the inventory schedule of heritage sites and buildings and the authors recommend Grade 1 (National Heritage Site) grading for the farm, with particular mention of the homestead and cellar, as part of the ‘Central Valley Farmland Area’ Grade 1 site. Grading by: Heritage Western Cape
The subject site falls within the Cape Winelands Cultural Landscape, a Grade I heritage site, which has been identified by the Council of the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) in 2006. The heritage significance of the farm is first and foremost its contribution to the greater Constantia-Tokai component of the Cape Winelands Cultural Landscape. As such, it should remain rural in character and the continuation of its farming activities and the preservation of views across its vineyards are essential.
