45.5 ha Farm in New Hanover

SHALLOW DRIFT

High potential, an intensive, Irrigated farm.

This gradually sloping farm with Umgeni river frontage as the boundary, is a very good farm to purchase, as the current owner being a perfectionist has really developed this farm extremely well. I can only describe it as being immaculately well kept.

Of the farms 45ha approximately 70 is arable and under irrigation which makes it an extremely versatile property. It has the soil potential to grow most crops and water is plentiful off the Umgeni. Currently the owner has a few fields of irrigated Babala as pasture for his cattle during late winter. It also has three varieties of citrus, the variety''s being Lemon''s, Valencia''s and Mineola''s which are now starting to yield. The other possibility is to grow or fatten beef cattle on pastures as they are doing now, on good pastures you could carry far more cattle.

The Farm comes with five homesteads, the main home is a huge, perfectly finished double-storey. Magnificent it is ,North facing with vista views in every direction, The only farm homestead to have a carport for six vehicles plus two undercover garages .A lovely pool and a very expansive garden and lawn surrounded by an electric fence It also has an almost brand new backup generator. The security aspect on this farm is excellent, the entire farm is security fenced with a remotely operated main gate .Apart from the main homestead there are four other good homes situated independently, that are rented out.

It has an enormous and very modern shed for all tractors and implements with a nearby well-built stock handling facility, good staff quarters. It has a smaller fenced setup where rabbits and some poultry are kept.

The Pumps on the river for irrigation have excellent capacity for the farm and housed in very secure pump-houses. The domestic water is pumped through a very sophisticated state of the art filtration system.

It is situated approximately 18kms out of Pietermaritzburg and not far from the Albert falls dam, ideal for the fishermen. This is a great operational farm waiting for a young farmer to get going!
