This 21-hectare property offers a rare opportunity to combine aquaculture with crop farming in the fertile Mopane region. Designed for Tilapia production, the farm includes five cement tanks with circulation systems for hatching and rearing fish, supported by a 240 m2 factory for processing and value-adding. With the bushveld climate well-suited to aquaculture, this enterprise is ready to be revitalized.
Water security is excellent, with two boreholes delivering ±6,000 liters per hour and a 50,000-liter reservoir supporting both domestic and farming needs. Nearly 3 hectares of cleared land, previously used for vegetable farming, provide scope for integrated operations—using nutrient-rich wastewater from the fish tanks to irrigate crops. The remaining bushveld offers space for expansion, crop rotation, or eco-tourism ventures.
The main homestead is a double-storey A-frame residence of ±264 m2, featuring two bedrooms, one bathroom, and an open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area. An attached garage and workspace add practicality. Additional infrastructure includes farmworkers’ quarters, outbuildings, and Eskom power supply to the farm, factory, and accommodation.
