Spectacular Mixed Use Farm in the Dargle

Discover a unique opportunity to own a versatile farm in Howick, offering a balance between livestock and equestrian facilities. This 94-hectare property, previously a dairy farm, now caters to both horses and livestock, providing superb outrides, stables, a lunging ring, and an indoor equestrian arena. The farm also features comprehensive cattle and sheep handling facilities.

All the paddocks are well-fenced and established with kikuyu or veld grass, complete with drinking troughs. Additionally, there are 13 fenced grazing camps, and the property boasts 1 km of Umngeni River frontage with registered water rights, enhancing the farm’s natural beauty and utility.

A highlight of the property is the pristine Midland’s mist belt forest, spanning 30 hectares on the southern slopes. This forest is a haven for antelope and birdlife, making raptor sightings a common occurrence. The main house offers breathtaking elevated views from the expansive front veranda, overlooking farmlands and the willow-lined Umngeni River as it winds its way to Midmar Dam. The veranda also serves as a sun trap in the winter, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the scenic landscape.

The farm is equipped with a 600 sqm indoor sand and composite arena for working with horses, a level grass arena, and a quality lunge ring. Numerous stables, including separate stallion stables and foaling boxes, provide ample space for equine care. Cattle handling facilities, a milking area, and a four-bay tractor shed add to the farm’s practicality and convenience.

Accommodation includes a main house with two bedrooms and a separate self-contained studio flat. An income-generating cottage with its own fenced garden offers additional living space, while a third flatlet under the stallion stable roof serves as an ideal manager’s cottage. The farm kitchen is well-equipped with both an electric stove and a Dover wood/coal burning stove. Together with the cottages, the property can comfortably accommodate twelve people.

The property is owned by a VAT-registered company, and early occupation arrangements can be made. It is to be noted that the sale will attract VAT. Livestock, equipment, and loose assets, including 40 Nguni cows, sheep, two tractors, and various implements, can be purchased separately and are not included in the asking price.

This secluded piece of heaven offers not just a place to live, but a lifestyle immersed in nature and productivity.
