PRINCE ALBERT: Irrigation farm with ample irrigation water
Located adjacent to the R407 between Klaarstroom and the quaint town of Prince Albert, this 390-hectare gem offers breathtaking views over the mountain ranges. It is situated an equal distance of 38 km from Prins Albert, as well as from De Rust.
The farm consists of 3 title deeds and boasts ample, unpolluted mountain spring water for irrigation.
This region is celebrated for its exquisite and premium products. The new owner would have the flexibility to engage in various farming activities. Lucerne, olives, a variety of nuts, litchis and various fruit cultivars flourish in the local climate. The pure quality of the mountain water is ideal for successfully producing the so-called sensitive crops such as half-white (lappie) beans or tomato cultivars.
The Groot River originates in the northern slopes of the Swartberg mountains and traverses the farm.
Vested water rights are registered for storage and irrigation. The allocation is two hours per day between December and February, and for the rest of the months two and half days per week. Using a low-pressure pump, water is pumped into elevated storage earth dams from where it gravitates to the arable irrigation areas. About 6,5 hectares are arable, of which 50% is under permanent irrigation. The rest of the irrigation areas are irrigated by a solar pump system and draglines/quick-couple pipes. Additional water for household purposes, is obtained from another mountain stream and stored in an earth dam.
The spacious 4-bedroom house was built in 1914. There are various outbuildings, a shed and sheep handling facilities. Electricity is supplied by Eskom.
One of the title deeds is mountainous, and small antelope roam the area. The odd kudu is often spotted.
Here one can construct an ideal home and embrace tranquillity. This farm offers the potential for realizing both farming and lifestyle dreams.
All 3 title deeds are for sale, including a tractor, equipment and implements.
The farm is offered at R11,100,000. The seller is not a VAT vendor.
