Location Considerations for a Tenant:

While offering the tranquility of rural living, this smallholding is conveniently located approximately 15km from the Upington CBD, providing easy access to amenities. It`s important to note that the property is situated close to an informal settlement. While this presents a potential risk regarding theft of livestock and property, it could also be strategically advantageous for a tenant looking to sell livestock or operate the butchery within the local community.

Important Considerations for Potential Tenants:

·This property is available for long-term lease agreements of no less than 12 months.

·Pets, livestock, birds, and poultry are welcome.

·The tenant will be responsible for the general upkeep and maintenance of the entire property. The landlord will be responsible for major structural breakages.

·Regarding the 3-phase ESKOM power, if the tenant utilizes the property for income-generating activities (such as the butchery or other commercial ventures), they will be responsible for the full utility bill and usage. However, if the property is used solely for residential purposes (house and barn), the landlord will cover the ESKOM line rental, and the tenant will only be responsible for their usage.

·Special Requirement: Due to the nature of the property, the ideal tenant will possess a solid understanding of canal water systems, solar installations, and general handyman skills, along with a background or knowledge of farming practices.

This is a unique opportunity for an individual or family seeking a long-term rental with the potential to embrace a rural lifestyle and potentially generate income.
