3. +- 7 Ha apricots.
4. +- 8 Hectares annually planted with butternuts and baby marrows.
5. +- 80 Hectares of arable land with water for 40ha. A further borehole will have to be drilled to ensure enough irrigation water will be available.
The water supply is robust, with an allocation from the Olifantsdoorn Water Scheme and 3 supplementary boreholes. These 3 boreholes respectively supply 32 000l/hr, 45 000l/hr and 10 000l/hr. 54 solar panels have been installed to ensure that irrigation and pumping of the water can take place during any power shortage. Five earth dams are used to store the different water sources to support the farms irrigation needs and it totals approximately 300 000 cubic meters . This level of infrastructure is key to sustaining the existing crops and potential future development as an expert pointed out another underground source of water.
The three houses, each offering different sizes and layouts, suggest flexibility for family living or converting some of the residences into guest accommodation. The main house comprises of 5 bedrooms, with a very large main bedroom with a spacious bathroom, extending onto the large patio that has sweeping views onto the large garden. The living areas in all three homes are very spacious and all live onto patios with beautiful views over the valley.
In addition, the seven laborers cottages, which could be transformed into guest cottages, add the possibility of turning the farm into a hospitality-focused venture, perhaps capitalizing on agritourism or weekend getaways for visitors looking to experience rural life. Only two of the cottages house workers.
The winery and cold storage facilities are a bonus for those wanting to enter or expand wine production, while the additional buildings, such as the packing house and workshop, indicate the farm is well-equipped for handling the various aspects of farming operations. The farm can easily be taken back to the successful wine estate it used to be with it''s own Buffalo Creek wine label, as well as successful wine tours and tastings. Currently, the grapes are harvested and send to the McGregor Cellar.
The small school with its separate entrance is a thoughtful feature, ensuring it does not interfere with the farm''s core activities, but providing an added benefit for families living on or near the property.
Selling the farm as a going concern, with VAT registration, makes it a turnkey investment for someone ready to step into a well-managed operation.
