1367Ha COMMERCIAL IRRIGATION FARM WITH 1018Ha WATER RIGHTS - MUSINA, LIMPOPO

This is a very rare opportunity to own a 1367Ha generational commercial irrigation farm, that lies on the Weipe tract of land, with registered water supply of 1018Ha from the Limpopo River (Scheme) and boreholes.

The farming activities on the farm are primarily cash crops including Cotton, Potatoes rotating with various other cash crops. There is 256Ha of land that is designed for the potential of citrus farming.

The main farming practice is cotton and tomato farming in summer & potatoes, wheat, pumpkin / butternut on a rotation basis and according to market requirements and demand.

This is an established farm that is fully equipped and irrigated with sufficient water to sustain farming. The farm has been owned and operated for commercial gain for 3 generations.

Due to this infrastructure, the farm can produce 4 harvests per 2 year cycle / 2 crops per annum. This provides diversification of income and increased resilience in market fluctuations.

The infrastructure on the farm is extensive with regards to irrigation, pivots, water reticulation, buildings and 2 processing plants. There are water rights for 1018Ha and it is linked to the Eskom grid for its main power supply needs.

The topography of the farm slopes gradually in a northerly direction towards the river. The soil has a dark brown / red color type – Hutton type, with mainly a sandy / loam texture type. The climate in this area is moderate and ideal for crop farming.

Dragon-Line Mobile Drip and normal Pivots and dripline Irrigation covers the whole farm. Probes are also used to monitor irrigation, and props are installed to manage the water reticulation optimally. This highly efficient irrigation system reduces the amount of water required on pivots as well as the electricity output. Dual valves on pivots allows for sprayers or mobile drip to be used. The water saving and the electricity saving is approximately 40% - 60%.

To manage the rate and velocity of runoff, the farm has established run off canals as well as barriers on the curvatures of the pivots to minimize the concentrations of runoff volume and to slow down the runoff velocity, allowing the water more time to soak into the soil, limiting its capacity to transport soil particles and diminishing its ability to cause scour erosion. Additionally, 30 000 meters of subsurface drainage has been installed.

There is a complete commercial cotton processing plant, Cotton Gin. One of only 6 in South Africa. The sector is within an industry that has potential to grow rapidly, as it is a commodity that was in short supply the world over, with an international shortage recorded in the 2024/2025 season.

The farm has 2.4m Game Fencing around the entire farm with 24 Strands. The fencing around the homestead is diamond mesh.

The subdivision of the farm into 3 portions has been approved.
