21.3 ha Farm in Camperdown

QUO VADIS

Ideally situated, A Thornveld, Wildlife Conservancy, Cattle and Hay farm

Quo Vadis farm is in the right situation, a great start up opportunity for an innovative buyer! This property is unique in that it is within the Mpushini Conservancy 30kms East of Pietermaritzburg. This 21.3Ha property is fairly flat and park landed with very reliable water from one of the few and best boreholes in the area, hence the game congregates here and it is a sight to behold virtually every day. The current owners have successfully run a great cattle herd simultaneously alongside the game. The game species currently on the farm are Kudu, Nyala, Impala, Duiker, Wildebeest, Zebra, wild pig and warthog .The grazing is mostly sweetveld ,cattle and game do extremely well on it.The arable land to thornveld ratio is approximately 60%-40%. Most of the arable land is under pasture from which quality hay is cut and fed to their stock in late winter, any surplus available is sold onto outside buyers. It does have an irrigation header line in place that hasn''t been used recently however. The farm with Avalon series soils, has grown vegetables very successfully. Nb. Frost is very rare here, it has potential for nuts and citrus.

It has a substantial and good broiler chicken house that can be utilised either for commercial free range egg layers or broilers .It has a large and well-built shed.. Housing tractors, equipment, hay and farm feed, this shed could be also be used for other purposes e.g. engineering. The Shed also has an annexed cottage attached .there are two large1000 Litre water tanks enabling water reticulation to most of the farm if necessary. Jojos are available for the homestead water, and fitted with a pressure pump system. The farm equipment and movables are negotiable.

It has a wonderful, and a typically large Natal style farmhouse in the shade of some massive Ficus trees, with birdlife aplenty. It comes with a large lounge, dining room, four spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study and a large farm kitchen to die for. Out front at the entrance to the house there is a courtyard atrium arrangement with some really exotic plant species.

The house and farm security is good, there are patrolling conservancy rangers and a farm watch response company that can be used .There is a great community in the area and very united against any adverse situation.

This farm has so much potential and can be diversified in many ways, a weekend getaway type of game lodge comes to mind as its very convenient to Durban, Pietermaritzburg and not far off the Durban/Joburg highway, yet one feels as if you are in one of our way off National parks. Game, beef cattle, hay pasture, vegetables, spring bottled water and many others are all possibilities! Notwithstanding the tranquil lifestyle here, waking up to all the different types of game and birdlife, there are very few property''s that can boast this wonderful privilege.

This is a great property and will be sought after.Avoid the rush call the agent for a viewing
