An exceptional opportunity to acquire three adjacent agricultural farms situated at Louterwater, in the Langkloof, within an established deciduous fruit farming region, extending across a combined 177.8284 hectares.
The farms are located approximately 20 km from Joubertina, 200 km from Gqeberha and 580 km from Cape Town, providing access to major regional and export-market infrastructure while retaining the advantages of an established agricultural location.
Agricultural Potential & Climate
The farms offer approximately 72 hectares of arable land, providing substantial scope for the development of a new commercial fruit operation.
The farms experience an average annual rainfall of approximately 500 – 600 mm, together with favourable micro climatic conditions, allowing for the establishment of fruit with high chill requirements, for example apples, pears, kiwi fruit and cherries.
Substantial Water Resources
Water is a significant feature of the property, with water sourced from the Paal and Meul Rivers.
Irrigation Scheme Water – Louterwater Irrigation Board
The three farms have a combined irrigation-scheme allocation of approximately 180 090 m³.
Surface Water
Additional surface-water allocations are recorded across the farms and approximately 319 910 m³ is made available to the prospective purchaser.
Water Storage
Registered water-storage capacity across the three farms in 5 earth dams total approximately 310 493 m³.
Existing Improvements
Existing improvements across the three farms include:
• Manager's dwelling and outbuildings- ±360 m²
• Shed- ±216 m²
• Second shed- ±450 m²
• Worker’s house- ±120 m²
• Additional manager's dwelling- ±220 m²
• Pump stations.
Apart from the worker’s house that is dilapidated, all improvements are in a fair to good condition. The property is supplied with Eskom electricity.
A Significant Langkloof Agricultural Opportunity
With three adjacent farms totalling 177.8284 hectares and approximately 80 hectares that can be developed, substantial water allocations and storage, and favourable micro climatic conditions, these farms present a compelling opportunity for an established grower looking to expand or an agricultural investor seeking to establish a new high-value fruit operation. The undeveloped land provides the flexibility to plan and develop the property according to individual production requirements.
