Small scale Macadamia farm.

This 3,5 hectare farm is only a short 3km from Louis Trichardt, but far enough to provide solitude.A short servitude road, shared by neighbors, it is the last property away from the N1. Lovingly developed over the last three decades, the owners are contemplating retirement, now that the children have left home. +/- 200 macadamia trees of the 741 cultivar are established with drip irrigation and this crop brings in a welcome R.70-100 000 per season. The remainder of the property is leased for cattle grazing. (With supplementary feeding) In the past the the owners have successfully cultivated flowers and vegetables. Water is from a servitude borehole and the second is a 5000l/hr borehole at 110 meter. A cement dam was used for the irrigation of the Macadamia orchard and vegetables. (Both dam and drip irrigation are in disrepair)
The house is a sprawling 4 bedroom two bathroom farmhouse, an attached 2 bedroom cottage is rented out.
The remaining infrastructure consists of a double garage, chicken house, and worker accommodation. The perimeters are a brick wall along one side, an electric fence along the other and two sides are cattle fenced.
Two paddocks and the orchard are fenced in with gates.
