This 410 hectare farm is located outside Gluckstadt, about 40 km from Vryheid, and offers an excellent combination of productivity and natural beauty. The property is well established for both cattle and maize farming, with strong grazing potential and fertile arable lands that produce reliable crops. In addition to the commercial farming operations, the farm also carries game, making it a versatile property with both agricultural and recreational value.
The farm has 15 hectares of arable land, including one portion along the river with registered irrigation rights. A mother line is in place but needs to be connected. The livestock component includes 100 breeding cows, 3 registered Brahman bulls, 10 heifers about 10 years old, and 27 calves to date, all mixed. The carrying capacity is 2 hectares per head of cattle.
Water is plentiful, with one perennial river, two perennial streams, three natural springs, and one borehole. There is also a 1 hectare earth dam, and the average annual rainfall is around 800mm, providing excellent water security throughout the year.
Wildlife is naturally present and includes nyala, kudu, reedbuck, bushpig, and smaller species. The game roams freely as there is no game fencing in place. The property also has a 7 hectare established black wattle plantation, with scope to expand further.
The farm is well equipped with 2 tractors, a baler, 2 rotary slashers, a rake, plough, ripper, and 2 trailers. Infrastructure includes a large open shed with 3 smaller lockable stores, an implement shed, and a double carport.
Residential improvements consist of a spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom farmhouse with dining room, kitchen, and lounge/TV room. There is also a 1-bedroom flat with a full bathroom, a small area that can be converted into a kitchenette, plus a cold room and laundry as part of the flat.
This is a highly attractive opportunity for anyone looking to expand or invest in farming in the Vryheid region. With its mix of cattle, maize, and game, abundant water, irrigation rights, equipment, and well-developed infrastructure, this 410 hectare property stands out as a truly great farm.
