This incredible property is hitting the market for the first time in nearly 40 years, and it’s only available because the owner has decided it’s time to retire.

The spacious kitchen is well-equipped with built-in cupboards, while the house...
This incredible property is hitting the market for the first time in nearly 40 years, and it’s only available because the owner has decided it’s time to retire. Nestled between the tranquil Mooi River on one side and the road to Viljoenskroon on the other, this farm is perfectly positioned just 10 minutes from the vibrant student town of Potchefstroom. Picture this: 20 hectares under pivot irrigation, currently growing wheat, with plenty of water and enough space to add a 15-hectare pivot. Additionally, there are approximately 30 hectares of Smutsfinger grass, divided into seven camps, making it ideal for grazing. The homestead is filled with character and warmth. A cozy lounge with a fireplace and parquet floors leads to a dining room with its own fireplace and charming Oregon flooring. The spacious kitchen is well-equipped with built-in cupboards, while the house boasts four bedrooms—two with built-in cupboards—and two bathrooms, one en-suite. There’s even a separate guest toilet. For your vehicles and storage needs, you’ll find a garage for four cars, a two-car carport, and a rondavel for storage. The large braai lapa, complete with an outdoor guest toilet, is perfect for entertaining. The property also includes a separate office building with two rooms, each with its own entrance, as well as extensive outbuildings: large sheds for mechanical work and storage, a workshop, and an old dairy. Seven staff cottages, each with running water and prepaid electricity, offer significant potential—they could be renovated into charming Farm Stay cottages or rented out for additional income given the proximity to town.
Water is never a concern here. Five boreholes, three equipped, provide reliable water for the house, garden, staff cottages, and outbuildings. The property is also listed for 17.2 hectares on the State Water Scheme, with a canal running across the land, and includes a storage dam, earth dams, and a lined cement dam for additional irrigation. At least one of the boreholes delivered 100 000l/hour when in use. The farm is neatly fenced with well-maintained barbed wire, and all camps and gates are in good condition. There’s even a loading crush and handling facility for animals. Electricity is reliable with municipal three-phase connections, prepaid meters in the cottages, and a 5kVA backup generator ensuring uninterrupted water supply to the house. This privately registered property, held under one title deed, is truly a gem. Whether you’re looking for a productive farm or a serene escape, this is a rare opportunity to own a well-maintained property with endless possibilities.
