Property Details

De Hoop - This well developed and fully operational 87ha mixed fruit farm, conveniently situated on a main transportation artery in the Winelands, is now available for sale. The farm has a secure water source with a 59ha water allocation from the local irrigation scheme. Ample water storage is provided for by a network of 4 earthen dams and 2 cement reservoirs. An extensive computerised irrigation and fertigation network covers the entire property. There is a strong borehole which is used to supplement water requirements when needed. Over the past few years, the farm has been extensively re-developed with many of the older orchards removed and replanted with the latest and most sought after varietals. The current plantings which total 58ha, comprise plums, citrus, peaches, nectarines, apples, nectarcot and almonds. With many of the new plantings only starting to come into production, the farm is well set for substantial produce escalations. The current crops are packed by Franschhoek Fruit Packers. A more detailed orchard census as well as harvest records are available on request. A further 15ha of open arable land is available for planting. Building improvements include a main house, 2x managers houses, office block with pack shed, storage and 2 cold rooms, as well as an implement shed and various labourers cottages. This well run operation is for sale as a going concern at R40 000 000.
