Established 25.9ha Commercial Vegetable Farm – Fully Integrated Operation on Barrington Road

Situated approximately 11km from the N2 along the ever-popular Barrington Road, this 25.9-hectare farm presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully functional and integrated vegetable farming unit with extensive infrastructure already in place.

This property is being offered as a single combined unit, forming one cohesive farming operation where all critical infrastructure — including water supply, irrigation systems, and electricity — is already established and efficiently servicing the entire property. The layout and design of the farm ensure that both portions function seamlessly together, eliminating the need for additional costly installations or approvals.

The main section of the farm is exceptionally well developed for intensive vegetable production, offering approximately 8 hectares under shade netting with double drip irrigation. These netted areas are divided into secure, electrically fenced blocks, each supported by dedicated water tanks to ensure consistent gravity-fed irrigation and practical working conditions for staff.

Water security is a standout feature, with registered water rights from the Karatara River allowing for 100,000m3 per annum. Water is pumped to holding tanks and distributed across the farm, supported by a large storage dam and a well-positioned pump house that also provides storage for farming inputs. A borehole supplies clean, purified drinking water, while additional rainwater is harvested and stored, further enhancing sustainability.

The infrastructure supporting the operation is both extensive and highly functional. A ±300m2 packaging and processing facility includes cold rooms, a blast chiller, storage areas, ablutions, and dispatch zones, making it ideal for handling and distributing produce efficiently. Staff facilities, including ablutions and a canteen area, ensure a comfortable working environment. Eight tunnel structures further expand the farm’s production potential.

Power is supplied via 3-phase Eskom electricity, with three transformers distributing power across the operation.

A former two-bedroom house, currently used as an office, overlooks the dam and offers the flexibility to be converted back into a residence if desired.

The adjoining 10.9-hectare portion forms an integral part of the overall farming unit. While this section on its own does not have separate electricity or water connections, it is fully incorporated into the greater system of the farm, drawing on the existing infrastructure of the main property. This integration is precisely what makes the combined offering so valuable, as it allows for immediate use without the need for additional development or service installations.

This portion includes approximately 2.4 hectares under shade netting, divided camps with electric fencing, and a labourer’s cottage of approximately 85m2. It offers excellent potential for expansion of current farming activities, additional crop production, or even grazing.

Together, these two portions create a well-balanced agricultural unit with scale, infrastructure, and flexibility — ideal for an established farmer looking to expand, or a buyer seeking a ready-to-operate farming enterprise with room to grow.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a working farm where the groundwork has already been done, and where the true value lies in its fully integrated design and operational efficiency.
