Property Details

Farms with a Sand River frontage are fortunate, for this river can supply their water requirements, from the sands, from which this river derives its name. This source is available long after the river stops flowing. Vera 40 is no exception water from its river well can be pumped to the irrigable field directly between the river and the hill. These properties are well suited to vegetable farming and lucern. Two additional boreholes are also available . Directly behind the quaint house is dense bush with baobab trees and more. This hill area is fenced with good quality game fencing and ideally suited to game , goats, sheep or cattle. The farm has sound stock handling facilities and this infrastructure with pens and enclosures would be ideal for small stock. There are cement watering points (Pans) for stock and game attesting to underground water pipelines to all water points. Through the property there is a Escom power-line but this is not connected. The owner made use of solar power allowing him to be off-grid. The house is a typical farm dwelling that has evolved with the requirements of the family. The open plan lounge, kitchen and dining room with its scullery is fronted by a 'T' shaped veranda where the vehicles can be stopped under a roof. (Embark or alight) Adjacent is a large car port that also provides shade from the noon day sun to the lounge. The house is constructed in natural rock under IBR. A shower is available with a bathroom and toilet separate. There are several bedrooms one with built in cupboards. Entry from the veranda and main bedroom to a store room is convenient and this store can be converted to bedrooms in the future. The house power requirements were through a generator and solar panels. Vera 40 is 22,89 hectare in size. The irrigable field is about 4 hectare, the remainder is used for grazing and the farm house, dams (2) and stock handling facilities. The property is not occupied and requires some maintenance, however the infrastructure is sound, waiting for occupation, by its new owner. Well priced, secluded, off-grid and potentially a retirement or farm entry opportunity.
