191.1 ha Farm in Shongweni
191Hectare Strategic Landholding with Licensed Resource Potential & Lifestyle Infrastructure | Shongweni Valley
One of the Last Large-Scale, Income-Ready Land Assets Near Westown Shongweni
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a large-scale property and movable asset portfolio of close to 200 hectares in the highly sought-after Shongweni Valley, Outer West Durban. Strategically positioned minutes from Westown Square now open and fully operational and adjacent to the broader Westown residential and commercial phases currently under development, this asset offers scale, location and substantial latent income potential underpinned by conservation-led land use and approved licensing.
Licensed Value-Add Resource Utilisation Mining Exploration Licence Secured - The property benefits from a secured Mining Exploration Licence, enabling the regulated and responsible utilisation of naturally occurring construction and industrial materials present on site. These activities are positioned as value-add resource utilisation, designed to coexist with conservation objectives and lifestyle uses.
Resource & Production Opportunities Capacity-Based:
Brick & Block Manufacturing Ready to Commission
Purpose-built brick and block making facility on site
Production capacity of up to 24,000 concrete bricks per day on a 9-hour cycle
Key raw materials river sand and water naturally available on the property
Brick yard is constructed and equipped but not currently operational
Potential supply demand from the Westown development 3.5km away
Projected income at scale: R3 million per month - Forecast based on plant capacity and prevailing market demand, not historical production
White Plaster Sand:
Extensive naturally occurring deposits
Estimated reserves in excess of one million cubic metres
Currently utilised on a limited basis
Can be owner-operated or structured as a royalty-based arrangement, allowing third-party extraction with minimal operational involvement
River Sand:
Approximately 4km of river frontage
Naturally replenishing through seasonal rainfall
Re-mining cycle estimated every 69 months
Decomposed Granite G5G7:
Suitable stabilising material available on site
Lower volumes than plaster or river sand, but commercially viable
Silica Sand Value-Add Opportunity
Derivable from plaster sand with the addition of a drying process
Suitable for tile adhesive and glass manufacture subject to testing
Very limited supplier base in the North Coast region, enhancing future demand potential
Future Crushing Plant Opportunity:
Abundant rock formations on the property
Allows for expansion into aggregate production additional machinery required
If fully implemented and professionally managed, total income potential across these activities is conservatively estimated at R7.64 million per month.
These figures represent achievable operational capacity, not current turnover.

Important Transaction Clarification:
This sale is a PROPERTY AND MOVABLE ASSET SALE ONLY.
The property is not being sold as a going concern
There are no historical financial statements available
All income figures referenced are forward-looking, capacity-based projections. The current owner has focused primarily on building sand supply, resulting in other income streams being underutilised or not yet commissioned, despite the infrastructure and approvals being in place.
This presents a clear opportunity for an incoming investor or operator to activate and scale multiple income streams through focused management and execution.
