This historic, established 46-ha guest farm, with 11 000 fruit trees (peaches, pears and prunes) is for sale!
The 4-bedroomed stone mansion main house with outbuildings was built in 1894 and is in good condition. Three completely furnished cottages are rented out for holidays. A shed and two garages are also next to the main house. Some original outbuildings (two old labourer’s-houses and a shed) are in good condition but need renovation. The current owner is renting out the orchards - export pears, peaches and prunes are the main fruit trees. All the orchards are under irrigation. A Watsonia bulb nursery is also on the property and the owner has a 70% share in this. Included is a complete operating, small, spring water bottling plant (under registration process).
The property
has 129 000m3 registered water rights from a fountain and a strong borehole. All pumps and irrigation equipment are in good condition. Two big dams, a cement reservoir, as well as two 5000 L tanks, serve as storage capacity. Eskom power is available.
The area lends itself to bass fishing, birding (80 species recorded), hiking trails, fantastic mountain views of the Tsitsikama Mountains and valleys, as well as 4x4 routes. A landing strip is about 5 km from the property! There is a substantial area available for the expansion of orchards or the establishment of a game farm area, alternatively, a wedding venue can also be established on the farm utilising the existing buildings.
This property is VAT registered and creates a substantial income from the rental of the holiday chalets and the orchards. It could be sold as a going concern.
