Farm For Sale In Bathurst

Calling All Cattle Farmers – Exceptional 286.9825ha Farm in Martindale

One of the better cattle farms to have come onto the market in recent times, this 286.9825-hectare property offers excellent potential for an established cattle farmer looking to expand, or for someone wanting to develop a substantial livestock operation. With extensive accommodation, it also offers exciting potential for agritourism or guest accommodation.

Situated in the Martindale area, north of Bathurst, the farm lies within a well-established farming community and is surrounded by established neighbouring properties.

The farm is currently not stocked with livestock, and the rested veld is in immaculate condition. This provides an excellent base for a purchaser wanting to establish a cattle operation or increase existing cattle numbers. The land is divided into four large camps, allowing for practical grazing management.

The property is well equipped for livestock farming. There is a sheep and goat kraal, an indoor pigsty and a substantial chicken coop capable of accommodating a large number of poultry.

Excellent cattle-handling facilities are already in place. The cattle kraal includes a spray race, making the dipping of cattle more efficient, while a cattle loading ramp further adds to the ease of managing and transporting livestock.

At the entrance to the farm is a separate staff house, positioned away from the main residences. This is ideally located for a farm manager or staff member responsible for overseeing the day-to-day running of the property and livestock operations.

Accommodation is one of the standout features of the farm.

There are two separate three-bedroom houses, each comprising three bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen and bathroom. The main house also includes a double garage.

Further accommodation is provided by a four-bedroom guesthouse with a lounge and bathroom, offering additional space for family, visitors or potential guest accommodation.

A traditional thatched rondavel with a wooden floor provides further possibilities and could, for example, be converted into dormitory-style accommodation.

The farm has approximately 22,500 litres of water-storage capacity in tanks situated around the buildings.

Water is supplied by three boreholes, some of which are equipped with solar-powered systems.

A large newly built shed is currently used for storage but could easily accommodate hay bales, feed, equipment or other livestock supplies. Various additional outbuildings provide further useful storage and operational space.

The farm also benefits from a cold-room facility, while a large automatic diesel generator provides valuable backup power when required.

The lawns and grounds surrounding the residences have been immaculately maintained, adding to the overall appeal of the property.

With its rested veld, established cattle-handling infrastructure, extensive accommodation, reliable water infrastructure and useful operational facilities, this farm offers an excellent opportunity for a purchaser looking for a well-positioned livestock property with additional lifestyle and agritourism potential.

The property is to be sold fully furnished and is ready to welcome its new owners.
