A Farm Blessed with Exceptional Water:
Water security is one of the farm’s greatest assets. The Elandspruit River flows through the property, complemented by four dams and a natural spring that feeds water into two 5,000-litre holding tanks. This reliable water supply supports livestock, irrigation and domestic use, making the property ideally suited for cattle, sheep, goat or mixed farming. Neighbors farm with blueberries, potatoes, pumpkin, soya and maize, as well as livestock. An estimated 50 - 60ha arable land is available, with 2ha moringa newly planted in Feb 2026.
Extensive natural grazing, fertile soils and established infrastructure create excellent conditions for sustainable agriculture, equestrian activities, or eco-tourism ventures.
