Kakamas, Kakamas Rural

Beautiful irrigation farm at Kakamas.

Beautiful heavenly irrigation farm for sale at Kakamas.

This area on the banks of the Orange river is an arid and mountainous area with fertile soil suitable for productive irrigation. Kakamas is a rather small town situated in the Northern Cape of South Africa. This interesting town was originally built by a church and named after the Khoi word for 'poor pasture'. Today, this name poorly reflects a fertile valley in the lower Orange River, graced with vineyards, citrus, and Lucerne fields. In Kakamas, the summers are sweltering, the winters are short and cool, and it is dry and mostly clear year-round. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 42 degrees C in the summer and rarely below 0 degrees C in the winter.

The featured farm consists of 1 title deed sold as a going concern. The farm of 62.2024 ha has a water listing of 45ha @ 15 000 cubic meters/ha/year. This is an upper-class, irrigation farming unit located on the banks of the Orange River, producing mainly table grapes (15.15ha) and citrus (29.4ha). Water for farming and domestic purposes is obtained (2 x pumps on floats) directly from the Orange River. The water is then routed through the filters directly to the different blocks where micro-irrigation is then applied. According to the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry, the subject property has a scheduled water right of 45,0 ha. The property is located +/- 200 kilometers from Upington downriver and about 90km from Kakamas, about half of this gravel road. The farm is a highly successful vineyard and citrus farm with a house, flat, and packing facility on the property.
