Country lifestyle for small-scale farming in Crocodile River Reserve, 7km off tar — mature irrigation, private 200m river frontage, huge 4,090m² workshop and income cottage.
Great value - a farm in the Crocodile River Reserve. This 22 hectare farm was a mixed and vegetable vegetable farm for many years. Most of the irrigation is still in place.
There is a small, 2-bedroom house with kitchen, dining room and lounge, and a massive 50m2 covered patio. One bedroom is upstairs, the other doubles as a lounge. And there’s a full bathroom and guest cloakroom. The house is about 105 m2. It could do with some renovation.
There’s a 2-bedroom house above the Jukskei River, not occupied for several years, that could be refurbished and give a beautiful view of the private 200m stretch of water.
There’s a very large 4090 m2workshop attached to the house, with a high roof and large sliding doors.
And there’s a charming income-earning cottage with 2 bedrooms, lounge and open kitchen/dining area, plus garage and utility room.
There are 3 boreholes (2 working) with ample water, and you can pump from the river for irrigation. There’s also a dam at the corner of the property with a strong spring, which is shared by 3 properties.
The farm has one area where vegetables were grown, and a second area where thatching grass and Smutsfinger are harvested.
This is an ideal property for small-scale farming. It’s 7km off the tar along a well-maintained gravel road.
