There are also over 20 very old pear trees as well as pomegranate trees that were planted years ago. All the trees produce very good fruit. 2 times a year vegetables are planted in front of the house that bear enough for the household and the local market such as, for example, Fruit & Veg, otherwise sales are directly from the farm. a Large portion of the lower land are planted with different types of vegetables as well as pumpkins for the market. The land is ideal for growing seeds like most farmers in the area. There are also 5 olive trees that have already produced their first harvest as well as a lane of prickly pears that bear very good fruit. In front of the house are two beautiful large old oak trees. One of the trees is over 160 years old. The house itself dates from the 18th century. Water: The farm has an 8 hour water turn which directly flows into the dam. There is also a borehole and a well. All the water is obtained from the well for household maintenance and irrigation. The water is fresh and of good quality, suitable for human consumption. The borehole is currently in disuse. The water turn water runs in front of the house, a very nice picture. Buildings: There are 2 houses and a cottage. Also an outside building consisting of a garage and a very large outside room.

The farm has 2 entrances depending on the course of the river. The farm has no run-through. Very safe. Very far from any settlement. We are 17km from town. Only 12km dirt road and 5km tarmac road. No equipment or livestock is sold with the farm. The farm is not registered for VAT, so only Transfer Duty is payable. Don't miss out on this opportunity. PS: This description was 3 years ago. Due to covid and economic circumstances, the farm has fallen slightly. There is currently no lucerne or vegetables planted. The lucerne is there and will grow as soon as it gets water again. The horse stables were converted into a chicken coop. The sheep has been sold, but there are a few piglets a bear and a sow that is pregnant again. The fruit trees are covered under a net for the birds. The vineyard is again full of fruit as well as the fruit trees. The house needs attention on one side as well as paint as well as the roof. The dam always has water. The farm's garden is in good condition. Swimming pool will also be painted now. There is also a carport for 3 vehicles that borders the house.
