85.6 ha Farm in Malmesbury Outlying

A rare opportunity to acquire a highly automated and vertically integrated 85.6-hectare agricultural property in Darling, combining established olive production, excellent water infrastructure, renewable energy and an on-site olive oil processing facility.

This is far more than a traditional olive farm. Significant investment has been made in technology and infrastructure, allowing much of the farming operation to be remotely monitored and controlled via cellphone.

Established Olive Production & Agricultural Potential

Approximately 17.5 hectares are planted with established olive trees, supported by a sophisticated automated irrigation and fertilisation system.

Additional agricultural land is serviced by pivot irrigation and is utilised for various crops according to market demand, providing valuable diversification and additional income potential.

From Orchard to Oil On-Site Production Facility

One of the standout features is the dedicated olive oil production facility situated on the farm.

The facility is equipped with the machinery and tanks required to process the harvested olives and extract the oil on-site, creating a vertically integrated operation where production and processing take place on the same property.

This infrastructure offers an incoming owner the opportunity to participate in more of the agricultural value chain rather than simply producing the raw crop.

Exceptional Water Infrastructure

Water resources and management form a major part of the farm''s infrastructure, including:

Nine boreholes

Two dams

Automated water-management systems

Fully automated irrigation

Fertiliser application through the irrigation system

Pivot irrigation servicing additional cropping areas

Much of the system can be remotely managed, substantially simplifying the day-to-day operation of the farm.

100 Solar-Powered Operation

The farm operates entirely on solar power, eliminating its reliance on Eskom electricity.

Combined with the automated irrigation and production infrastructure, this creates an efficient agricultural operation designed to reduce dependence on traditional utilities.

Advanced Security & Remote Management

The property benefits from a comprehensive 24-hour surveillance system with night-vision cameras, allowing the farm and its activities to be monitored remotely via cellphone.

A farm manager resides on the property, while the farm workers live in town.
