For a buyer ready to develop a long-term vision, this 93-hectare farm combines Crocodile River frontage, registered water rights and existing guest accommodation in the scenic Schoemanskloof valley, approximately 40 km from Mbombela.
The property offers an opportunity to bring together country living, hospitality and agriculture. Its established accommodation provides a foundation for an owner-operated guest business, while the land offers scope for rehabilitation and a carefully planned return to production.
Land & Water
The full farm includes approximately 25 hectares of arable land and 18 hectares of registered water rights from the Crocodile River, with close to two kilometres of river frontage.
The land is currently not under commercial production. Portions require de-bushing and the clearing of old trees or invasive growth before cultivation can resume. This will suit a buyer who understands land preparation and wants to establish a crop plan suited to the property, rather than take over an active farming operation.
Potential crops include citrus and vegetables, subject to soil assessment, irrigation planning and seasonal frost considerations. Other portions offer grazing potential, subject to assessment of veld condition and carrying capacity.
Guest Accommodation & Country Living
The existing 234 m² guesthouse offers five en-suite bedrooms, a spacious lounge and a loft/library. A separate one-bedroom cottage includes a bathroom, small kitchen and lounge.
A 54 m² lapa and braai area, swimming pool and established gardens complement the accommodation, creating an inviting setting for guests and outdoor entertaining.
Established Trees
Plantings include 13 mature pecan trees along the riverbank, approximately 200 younger pecan trees across two hectares, six Mission olive trees and 20 mature avocado trees. Assorted citrus and other fruit and nut trees add further variety. Their condition and productive potential should be assessed against the buyer’s intended farming plans.
Infrastructure
• Two general storage buildings of approximately 100 m² and 176 m²
• A 270 m² lock-up implement shed
• Staff quarters with two rooms and ablution facilities
An Opportunity to Rehabilitate and Develop
This farm will appeal to a hands-on buyer who values river access, registered water rights and existing accommodation, and who is prepared to invest in restoring the land’s productive potential.
The asking price of R6,400,000 is for the full 93-hectare farm. The tractor, implements and furniture are available to purchase separately.
