Property Details
I listed this farm at the end of winter, and we've had no rain for the past six months. I'm excited to see how this amazing property transforms once the rainy season begins.
Situated 25 kilometers from Polokwane, this charming small farm (5.2938 ha) has been transformed from vacant land into a vibrant agricultural haven since 2022. The construction of the main house was completed in 2023, and it exudes a welcoming barn-house charm, featuring a large, open-plan living area that seamlessly integrates with a spacious braai-room offering stunning views. The property is bordered by game farmers to one side, providing occasional glimpses of local wildlife, while on the other side, the presence of neighboring horses adds to the tranquil rural atmosphere, with these elegant creatures often seen near the fence.
The farming area spans nearly 4 hectares, dedicated to growing a diverse array of vegetables including butternut, cabbage, tomatoes, and watermelon. This productive area includes croplands, tunnels, and a netted section to optimize growing conditions. An extensive drip-irrigation system, powered by solar electricity, ensures efficient water use across the crops. A cement reservoir and two water tanks store ample water, drawn from a borehole tested to confirm its capacity to support both agricultural and household needs.
The property is fully fenced on all sides with wire fencing, adding a layer of security and delineating the farm's boundaries. In addition to the main house, there is a well-equipped chicken pen designed to house 4,000 chickens, alongside staff quarters and store rooms. The house itself is meticulously maintained, with features such as four en-suite bedrooms, a large study, a scullery, an appliance room, and a walk-in pantry, enhancing its functionality and comfort. Security measures include burglar bars, security gates, a sliding gate, ensuring peace of mind for residents. The farm’s clean, neat appearance and rustic charm make it a truly exceptional place to call home.
This farm is entirely powered by solar energy, with no reliance on Eskom electricity.
