This property offers river frontage, registered water rights, and hospitality potential, but should be approached as a reset opportunity rather than an active farming operation. The farm extends over 93 hectares in Schoemanskloof, approximately 40 km from Mbombela, with an existing guesthouse already in operation.
The land is currently not under production. Portions of the arable area will require de-bushing and, in places, the clearing of old trees or invasive growth before cultivation can resume. This creates a blank canvas for a buyer who wants to rehabilitate and reconfigure the land to suit a specific crop plan rather than inherit legacy planting decisions.
The property holds 18 hectares of registered water rights from the Crocodile River, which runs through the farm and provides close to two kilometres of river frontage. Approximately 25 hectares of arable land lie on both sides of the river, suitable for crops such as citrus or vegetables, subject to normal frost considerations during the colder months.
The remaining ±70 hectares are suitable for grazing, making the property viable for mixed-use farming alongside leisure or hospitality. The permanent river frontage adds long-term appeal for tourism-related use, retreats, or low-density accommodation. There are no land claims.
This farm will suit a buyer who understands land preparation and redevelopment, and who values water access and location over immediate production returns.
