The Goat Tower, Animal structure at Fairview Cheese & Wine Farm, South Africa.
The Goat Tower features a spiral wooden ramp that connects multiple levels, allowing goats to climb and rest in various compartments.
Charles Back constructed this brick and mortar tower in 1981 after discovering a similar structure during his visit to Portugal's Aveleda winery.
The farm produces special wines named Goats do Roam, referencing both the tower inhabitants and creating a connection to French wine regions.
Visitors can observe Saanen goats climbing the tower's exterior staircase while touring the Fairview farm's wine and cheese production facilities.
This agricultural structure combines functional animal housing with architectural design, incorporating windows and a metal roof for the goats' comfort.
