Productive 324ha farm near Grahamstown

This well positioned farm offers an excellent combination of reliable water supply, productive soils, and well developed infrastructure, making it ideally suited to both crop production and cattle farming.

The current owner has successfully cultivated maize, sugar beans, cabbages, and potatoes in rotation, demonstrating the farm’s strong agricultural capability. There are extensive arable lands. Approximately 3.2 hectares are already developed under drip irrigation, allowing for efficient and consistent crop production. In addition, there is an established citrus orchard which presents an opportunity for further development or a change to nut trees like pecans.

Water availability is a standout feature of the property. The water from the boreholes and spring is sweet water and good for irrigation. A strong natural spring feeds the dams and supplies water to both homesteads, ensuring a dependable and sustainable water source. The farm is supported by two boreholes, one of which is 120 meters deep and tested at 4500 liters per hour but the current pump yields approximately 2,000 liters per hour. Importantly, there is a valid water license in place for irrigation from the dams, adding significant value and security to the farming operation.

The infrastructure on the farm is well established and caters comfortably for both residential living and farming activities. The main farmhouse is spacious and comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office, a kitchen with a separate scullery, a dining room, and a lounge area. A second dwelling provides additional accommodation with three bedrooms and one bathroom, making it ideal for extended family, staff housing, or rental income.

Outbuildings include four open garages, one enclosed garage, and an open carport, as well as a workshop and a shed for storing implements and farming equipment. There is another house on the farm that needs some work but could be turned into a third residence. A detailed list of assets for sale, will be available on request.

The farm consists of a mix of sweetveld and sourveld, providing good grazing potential with an estimated carrying capacity of approximately one livestock unit per five hectares. The natural vegetation supports a range of indigenous game, including bushbuck, kudu, warthog, and duiker, adding to the farm’s appeal as both a productive and lifestyle property.

Overall, this is a well-rounded and versatile farm that combines secure water resources, established agricultural activities, and solid infrastructure. It presents an excellent opportunity for a buyer seeking a productive farming unit with additional lifestyle and income-generating potential. This farm has been farmed for generations and farms like this don't come on the market often. Book a viewing to not be disappointed.
