Farm for sale
Riverside country retreat on 14.8 ha with 3km Buffalo River frontage, productive 600-tree pecan orchard and irrigated land — five-bedroom, three-bath farmhouse with workshop and equipment included.
Discover a stunning 5.6-hectare pecan nut tree orchard, featuring approximately 600 trees that currently yield 4 tons of nuts annually, generating a gross income of R260,000 at a market price of R65 per kg. With the installation of drip irrigation for each tree, this yield could potentially be doubled.
In addition to the orchard, the property includes 1 hectare of irrigated land (utilizing drag lines) and 8.18 hectares of grazing veld. The Buffalo River gracefully marks the northeast, east, and south boundaries of the farm, offering about 3 km of river frontage. The entire perimeter, along with the individual camps, is securely fenced with barbed wire, bonnox, and weld mesh.
Situated at an elevation of 1232 to 1245 meters above sea level, the farm is located in a summer rainfall area with topography ranging from flat to gently undulating. The average annual rainfall is between 800mm to 950mm, while temperatures range from a mean minimum of 8.1 degrees Celsius to a maximum of 22.4 degrees Celsius. Be aware that frost can be severe, lasting 50 to 100 days, and hail may occur 3-5 times during summer months, presenting some climatic challenges to production.
The property boasts several building improvements, including a spacious main dwelling featuring 3 bedrooms, an open-plan lounge and dining area, a fitted kitchen with a scullery, a study with a separate toilet, two bathrooms, and a linen room, encompassing a total of 226 sqm. Additionally, there's a 2-bedroom flat, a workshop/store, carports, and covered areas, with a double carport under a thatched roof covering 38 sqm.
The yard is equipped with an irrigation system, remote gate access, and a roof protected by a sprinkler system and lightning conductor. The sale includes essential equipment, such as a tractor, trailer, baler, rake, and more.
