Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity: Own a Piece of Kouga Wilderness

Escape to serenity with this breathtaking 1346-hectare farm in the heart of the pristine Kouga Wilderness. Named after the perennial Kleinrivier that flows through it, this property offers unparalleled peace of mind, located near the end of the road, offering a sense of seclusion in an area full of natural beauty.

With registered water rights and a gravity-fed pipeline delivering more than 500,000 liters of water daily at 3.7 bar pressure, the possibilities are endless. Farmers in the surrounding area are farming blueberries, pomegranates, peaches, nectarines, apples, pears and much more.

This farm has 3 phase electricity.

The property boasts exceptional infrastructure, including two well-maintained residential houses (240m2 and 120m2), providing comfortable living accommodations.

The main farmhouse is surrounded by 15 hectares of lush, irrigated pastures. Additionally, there is a spacious 200m2 workshop/garage with two separate lockable rooms, ideal for storage or projects.

For farming operations, the farm features a 300m2 tractor shed with a durable concrete floor, enclosed on three sides, and a 200m2 shed thoughtfully designed with lambing pens to support livestock management.

Further north there is a 120m2 house with a few old outbuildings and to the east there are four labour cottages.

An average of 30 tons of wild honeybush tea is consistently harvested per year with a license that allows up to 50 tons per year. The tea is sustainably collected from the south-facing mountain slopes, and any of three honeybush tea factories pick it up directly from the farm at R16/kg.

Considering that a small tea processing plant costs approximately R1,000,000, processing the tea on-site could leave you with 10,000 kg of refined product. If sold locally in South Africa, honeybush tea can fetch R500/kg, while export markets can reach prices as high as R7,000/kg. This presents a significant business opportunity.

The farm currently has 100 Dohme Merino sheep, generating around R40,000 per year from wool and R150,000 from meat. There is substantial room to expand livestock farming, with goats being another viable option.

After a successful small-scale trial last year, garlic production is to be expanded during this season. With a projected yield of R500,000 per hectare, this crop offers promising returns.

The farm's tourism potential, still largely untapped, could provide a steady and reliable income stream once developed.

For those with significant capital to invest, blueberries offer an average profit of R800,000 per hectare. With ample water supply and space available, scaling up to 10 hectares or more is a feasible and lucrative option.

Whether you're looking to revive its agricultural potential, create an eco-tourism retreat, or simply to enjoy an idyllic lifestyle surrounded by nature, this farm is a rare gem.
