Description
Situated 48 kilometers northeast of Grootfontein, this impeccably maintained farm is an ideal acquisition for the dedicated farmer. It features an advanced cattle maintenance system, 15 hectares of solar-powered pivot irrigation, and more than 350 hectares of cleared grasslands, which contribute to significantly reduced cattle production costs. The farm is structured as a Pty. (Ltd.) and is offered for sale as a going concern.
The farm features a 37 KVA solar system backed by 5.5 KVA lithium batteries and four solar-powered boreholes that supply water to the four pivot irrigation systems. It includes two game-fenced areas designated for irrigation: one with a 5-hectare and two 2.5-hectare pivots, serviced by three boreholes with outputs of 40 m³, 50 m³, and 50 m³, respectively, and two backup diesel generators. The second area has a 7-hectare solar pivot irrigation system fed by a 70 m³ borehole, with an additional backup diesel generator. Moreover, the farm encompasses over 350 hectares of open grasslands for dryland grass production.
The farm is segmented into 25 camps, all interconnected by cattle corridors. It features five cattle posts, each outfitted with either zinc dams or tanks holding 5,000 or 10,000 liters, which provide water to the drinking troughs for cattle or game. The farm boasts a diverse range of soils, with sandy soil predominating in the northern part and clay and rocky soil in the southeastern area. A variety of grass and shrub species thrive on the farm. The carrying capacity stands at 1 Livestock Unit (LSU) per 12 hectares.
The newly renovated farm dwelling, spanning 180 m³, features a kitchen with a pantry and scullery, three bedrooms, and one bathroom. Additionally, there is a 116 m³ double garage with multiple storerooms. The outbuildings include a large, newly built open shed of 960 m³, with an attached 116 m³ flat. Two other enclosed sheds, measuring 150 m³ and 215 m³, complete the farm dwelling's structures.
A high-tech security system equipped with infrared cameras has been installed to enhance security around the perimeter. These cameras are networked together and can be accessed via your cell phone from any location.
