370Ha Farm For Sale in Robertson Rural
BLANK CANVASS - HIGH POTENTIAL FARM NEAR ROBERTSON
This 370 ha farm, located 39 km from Robertson, is tucked into a corner, with a river running on its edge and a mountain range forming a beautiful backdrop.
The road to the farm, ending in a 12 km dirt road, runs past vineyards, fruit orchards, and blueberry plantations, an indication of the potential for production on the blank canvas of empty pastures and arable veldt.
The soil is suitable for vines and cash crops alike.
Approximately 22 ha of flat pastures under irrigation run along the length of the farm, with another 6 ha between the two farm houses.
The farm is currently used to raise sheep and cattle. It lends itself to diversification into cash crops, some vineyards under drip irrigation, and livestock.
On the slopes above the farm buildings, approximately 130 ha of contoured, arable land is covered in natural grazing and fynbos All of this land was used in the recent past, some of it for vineyards, therefore no permission will be required to plant these hectares with crops again.

Water usage rights consist of fountain water [161,100 m³ per year] 6 boreholes [ 30,160 m³] and storage of 104, 200 m³.
