Nestled in a secluded fertile valley which boasts with deep alluvial soil, excellent climate, abundance of water and lots of potential! One of the best kept secrets in the Western Cape and truly an agricultural oppertunity of note. This 839 hectare has a history dating back to the late when Adriaan van der Stel was looking for the best farm for breeding and keeping horses. Structures of the horse facilities still remain as a memo of yesteryear. A barn is still standing which is in need of restoration. However, once restored, it could serve as a national monument from which any commercially viable enterprise could be run. There is tremendous potential attached to this property for a superb horse stud farm. The infrastructure consists of two houses, the barn, shed and outbuildings. All buildings are not in good repair.The 160 hectare (of which 90 are under permanent irrigation) is well situated in the valley protected from the wind and frost. Another 155 hectare is arable land for the production of wheat or oats during the rainy winter season. The average rainfall is about 650 mm per annum. Fynbos for the picking of flowers is about 309 hectare and natural undisturbed Rhenosterbos about 202 hectare. A special ambience is created by the old oak and poplar grove on the banks of a small perennial fountain. An abundance of water is obtained from a mountain stream boasting with a 30 metre waterfall, boreholes (45,000 l/h), together with several perennial fountains. As pointed out, the agricultural and tourism potential is the biggest assets of this farm as all the elements of a winning recipe are in place. It just waits for the entrepreneur/ developer to put all the loose ends together to make it a roaring economic success.For sale as a going concern at R20 000 000. (excluding livestock and equipment)
