Suggestions for this property.

This property has produced poultry (chickens) very successfully for several years now the staff here have been encouraged and assisted to produce chickens themselves and they have independently created a profitable broiler production which has added to their income. This aspect could definitely be developed.

The staff manage their own market gardens and sell all the produce locally. Market gardening is definitely an option although it would be limited by the availability of flat land.

Please note that some of the cages will be dismantled but I have inserted them to show what farming opportunities are possible.

Plot 85 Hartsenbergfontein

Zoning Residential

Extent 1.9458 Hectares

Activities on this property.

Residential. 3 two bedroomed cottages and a 4th partially completed cottage. The 3 cottages all have tenants with leases. There are prepaid electrical meters in each cottage. The property has been self sustaining for some years now.

While there is little agricultural activity here, this property has been the main source of abundant water on Plot 80 it has a prolific and reliable borehole and the piping allows for direct supply of water to plot 80. Both properties have been run in conjunction as the cottages provide a reliable income while maintaining an occupied presence of this smaller adjoining property with the outstandingly good water supply. Aquaculture is a feasible option considering the large dam on the property, the flat nature of the plot, and abundant water.
