This exceptional 169-hectare citrus farm near Bela Bela offers a rare opportunity to own a fully operational agricultural enterprise with significant potential for growth. Perfectly blending productive farming, serene country living, and recreational appeal, this property is ideal for the discerning buyer looking to expand or invest in a profitable farming venture.
The farm features two old farm homes with plenty potential. The main farmhouse includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a spacious lounge and dining area, a loft, an office, and an enclosed veranda. Adjacent to the farmhouse is a granny flat, perfect for extended family or guest use. The second home, currently rented out as a weekend getaway, offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a veranda, and a large
carport. This home can accommodate up to 13 guests, making it an excellent retreat for visitors seeking fishing and outdoor relaxation.
The citrus orchard spans 43 hectares and boasts approximately 22,000 orange trees.
These include;
Delta Valencia (10,000 trees),
Valencia Late (600 trees),
Navel Palmer (1,025 trees),
Navel Newhall (770 trees),
and Bhainina (5,000 trees).
The trees are planted with a mix of older layouts (5m x 5m) and younger configurations (4m x 6m). Irrigation is efficiently managed through a dripper system fed by a 200,000 cubic litre dam, which has been inspected and approved by engineers and registered for irrigation purposes. Additionally, five equipped boreholes ensure a reliable water supply year-round.
Recreational amenities include ablution facilities (shower and toilet) at the dam, which is stocked with carp, tilapia, catfish, and bass. The dam is surrounded by a rich bird population, enhancing its appeal for birdwatching and peaceful outdoor activities.
Farm infrastructure is well-equipped to support operations, with a packing store, open shed for equipment, a fertilizer storage facility, and a comprehensive range of farm implements included in the sale. These include three trucks, three tractors, trailers, wagons, slashers, spraying equipment, pumps, and an automated citrus sorting machine with generator backup. (A detailed list of farming equipment can be supplied upon request.)
The farm currently markets oranges to local markets in Pretoria and Johannesburg, with low-grade oranges sold to juicing plants. There is significant potential to expand into export markets, making this an attractive investment for growth-focused buyers.
Security and wildlife add further value to the property. The orchards are enclosed with electric fencing, while the mountainous areas are game-fenced and home to kudu, zebra, impala, blue wildebeest, and bushbuck.
This is a rare opportunity to own a thriving citrus farm with abundant potential. Whether you are expanding a current business, seeking a serene lifestyle, or exploring eco-tourism opportunities, this property offers it all.
