Exceptional Farm on Auction in Badplaas, Mpumalanga
Nestled in the picturesque region of Badplaas, Mpumalanga, lies an extraordinary farm offering a prime location just 270km from Bruma Lake in Joburg, 270km from central Pretoria, and a convenient 100km from Nelspruit. Spread across two adjacent portions totaling over 85 hectares, this farm boasts fertile soil with exceptional water quality and quantity, making it an ideal investment for agricultural endeavors.
The property is well-equipped with three boreholes, each serving as a reliable water source. The first borehole, reaching a depth of 16 meters, features a wind pump that, once repaired, can deliver an impressive 750 liters per hour. Meanwhile, the second borehole, with a water level at 11 meters, has historically yielded over 5000 liters per hour through a submersible pump. Additionally, there''s an untested borehole at a shallow depth of 1.5 meters, resembling a spring and strategically positioned at the center of the farm.
Complementing these boreholes is a concrete-lined well housing a spring, producing a steady flow of 700 liters per hour. Positioned near the farm''s highest point, these water sources, along with two substantial 40,000-liter reservoirs, make gravity irrigation a seamless and efficient process, covering approximately 90% of the farm.
The farm''s layout is conducive to various agricultural practices, with its roughly square shape featuring sides just shy of 1 kilometer in length. Three sides (south, west, and eastern portions of portion 10) are enclosed by durable 1.8-kilometer Bonox fencing installed three years ago. The diverse elevation, ranging from 1120 meters to 1210 meters, offers a mix of terrains suitable for different farming activities, complemented by two small streams and numerous natural springs, enhancing the land''s agricultural potential and scenic beauty.
On portion 9 stands a charming fixer-upper farmhouse built in 1950, offering three bedrooms and incorporating a self-contained 49-square-meter bachelor flat converted from a garage. Surrounded by a flourishing garden boasting established trees, a swimming pool, lapa, and an orchard with 140 fruit trees, this farmhouse has great potential with some tender loving care to become a tranquil and comfortable living space. Additionally, there are three sturdy pole structures suitable for shade netting, making it a potential standalone farm within the property
Security is a top priority on the farm, with a 1-hectare garden enclosed by a 400-meter-long 1.8-meter, 18-strand electric fence. Access to the property is convenient via a 3-kilometer stretch road branching off the R38 national road. Furthermore, portion 10 includes a disused yet easily renovatable two-bedroom house, complete with intact walls up to roof height.
