288.7 ha Farm in Swellendam

EXCLUSIVE MANDATE

Once in a lifetime opportunity. This beautiful piece of land and high income generating farm is nestled alongside the Lower Breede River. Consisting of 192,2 hectares of arable land and a total of 288,7 hectares. With 660 000 m3 water that can be pumped from the river, you can easily irrigate 100 hectares. The current land owner erected a Zimmatic Pivot in 2017 which irrigates 55 hectares of lucerne. It produces about 15 tons per hectare per year. There is a 200 kWA ESKOM point situated close to the pump at the river, with main pipelines already installed to three different areas on the farm. Because the mouth of the Buffeljags River that leads into the Lower Breede River is situated so close to the water source of the farm, the water quality and consistency of water is of very high value to the investor. The land is ideal for the cultivation of citrus or any form of nuts.

Access and travel time to the farm is easy, with only 8,5km gravel road from the N2. There is a wind factor, but can be overcome by new techniques such as shadenetting. Dairy farming is an option, or keep the farm as it is to produce crops such as maize, soybeans and lucerne. The roads and boundary fences are in very good condition. A big benefit for the new owner is an approved application to build a 50 000 m3 dam, which would be ideal for gravity feed irrigation and save on the Eskom bill. A newly built steel structure of 450sqm is ideal for hay stacking, with the northern side open and no concrete floor.
