Harvest Your Dreams: Own a Thriving Farm in Montagu
Introducing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a thriving 662-hectare farm in the heart of Montagu''s renowned wine and fruit region! Conveniently located just 18 kilometers outside of Montagu in the Pietersfontein area, this gem comprises three titles: Grootland, Odenshoek, and Pietersfontein portion. Grootland was acquired by the current owner 47 years ago, and Odenshoek was added in 1994.
Abundant water sources include the Keisie River, Pietersfontein Dam, and boreholes, supported by water pumps and systems for optimal irrigation. A pipeline ensures 24/7 water delivery from the dam.
The Pietersfontein Dam, built between 1965 and 1968, was intended to supply water to farmers from below the dam to Avalon Springs. However, this flood-irrigation approach became unsustainable over time. The Cogmanskloof irrigation scheme later emerged, providing water to farms in Montagu. Notably, the owners of Grootland, Odenshoek and another farm further down from the dam, independently laid a pipeline from the dam to their farms.
The farm is a diverse agricultural haven, cultivating 35 hectares of Grapes, Apricots, and Peaches. Bulida Apricots are a staple at the Fruit Factory in Ashton, and Keisie, Supreme, and Cascade peaches have formed strong relationships with reliable suppliers. Orchards on quality soil, varying in age, promise continuous harvests of high-quality produce.
The farm''s wine grapes are supplied to a co-op under a standing contract of cellar shares, ensuring a stable and consistent market. This strategic arrangement adds another layer of stability to the farm''s revenue stream.
Infrastructure includes two stores, 2 farm houses, an additional cottage (the original Grootland farm house), and labourer houses. Sustainability is prioritized, with off-the-grid power for the main house through 12 solar panels, a 10 KW inverter, and batteries.
A complete set of farming equipment, from tractors to trucks, is included for a seamless transition. Sold as a going concern (VAT at 0%), this offers a perfect chance for a passionate individual to continue the legacy.
Imagine waking up to Montagu mountain views, surrounded by vineyards and orchards, as the proud owner of a thriving agricultural enterprise.
