This 80 ha farm is situated in a prime production area between Gouda and Porterville. The property has been planted to 20 ha of 9 different popular citrus cultivars under irrigation. Another 25 ha of irrigable land is lying fallow at present, while some 30 ha is planted to wheat every year. Buildings consist of a main house (with some old wooden finishes) that needs to be renovated in its totality, 2 labourer cottages (presently occupied) and a shed. Other improvements are a water pump station and a fruit loading zone, consisting of a smooth concrete slab. Should the new owner want to upgrade and strengthen the earth catchment dam, the water capacity would be sufficient to irrigate a substantial portion of the 25 ha irrigable land. The soil and climate are excellent for the production of citrus and table grapes, but the potential is also there to explore new agricultural avenues for the entrepreneur. For sale for R8 500 000.
