Set in a unique rural and scenic environment, this countryside farm outside Paarl covers an area of 14,5 ha. It is located conveniently off the N1 national road, but is approached along a dirt road.
Improvements consist of 4 log cabins of which some are beautifully positioned next to the river that also forms one of the farm's boundaries. Three log cabins are very basic while the other has been upgraded to a liveable cottage and outfitted with insolation panels. This cottage is currently let.
These cabins share a separately built ablution building with toilet, bath and shower.
There is a guava orchard (under irrigation) of approximately 1,5 ha but it produces little yield because of a veld fire last year which caused some damage.
Water supply is from a borehole (3 000 liters per hour) and a perennial mountain stream (with a volume of 15 695 cub meters per annum) higher up in the mountains registered in favour of this farm. This water flows under gravity into an earth storage dam on the farm or the owner has the choice to direct the water straight into the concrete dam. Also to be found is a natural earth catchment dam which gathers run-off water during the winter raining season.
The shed is a solid steel structure with open sides. The roof of the shed is fitted with 9 solar panels connected to a Victron Li-Po battery, providing 3 000 Watts. The farm is operated off the Eskom grid.
A 2 ha vacant piece of land used to be under agricultural cultivation. Natural bush and pine trees cover approximately 6 ha. The new owner has the option to clear this area of bush and utilize it for other purposes.
Potential exists to convert this property with its special ambience into either your own superb private country retreat or a thriving compact commercial operation.
Registered in the name of a Close Corporation, this property is the only asset in the CC and this deal is on offer for the new owner to buy the total members' interests in the CC and thereby avoid transfer duty.
