Another 7 hectares of the acreage is fully piped and computerised unplanted irrigation land enabling the buyer to expand to the full potential of the farm. There is also an unplanted 5-hectare area, covered with shading nets and irrigation.

Soil is the lifeblood of the agricultural industry, and farming success depends on a variety of soil types and the management thereof. The arable soils vary from well-drained sandy-loam to sandy-clay.

Water is the lifeline of every irrigation farm. Irrigation water rights from the Elandkloof Dam Water Board, for the orchards, groves and unplanted arable lands are duly registered in terms of the Water Act of 1998. The volume of 400,000 cub metre is allocated to the farm. This water supply is efficient for the existing orchards, groves, and unplanted arable land under irrigation. Water is gravitated via a pipe system, where-after it is filtered and reticulated around the property by gravity to all the farmhouses, staff houses and directly into the orchards from where the trees are gravity fed by micro irrigation. This is a price-less asset. There is also a non-functional borehole with sweet water which only need to re-drilled re-lined, and re-piped.

Farming infrastructure consists of a shed and general storage buildings.

There are no registered land claims against this property and the surrounding areas. The property is not subject to any unusual or especially onerous restrictions, encumbrances, or servitudes.

The farm borders the spectacular Theewaterskloof dam, and the enterprise is fortunate that there are still small antelope and plenty of birds enjoying this habitat. Panoramic views from here are exceptional!

Accommodation is a comfortable homestead that has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It is situated in a lush garden overlooking the Theewaterskloof dam. Other accommodation is three fully functional labourer cottages as well as a hostel and community hall.

The farming enterprise is for sale at R32,000,000.00 million (excluding VAT) as a VAT registered going concern.
