This fully functional 34.89 hectare Talapia Farm is a 15 minute drive from Port Alfred on the Mooifontein Quarry Road and has distant sea views in some areas. It offers generous accommodation with the main farm house offering four bedrooms as well as a connected flatlet offering two bedrooms.
On entering the farm, one is greeted by three quaint wooden cottages with private decks overlooking a beautiful dam. There is a braai area and sparkling pool nearby which makes it ideal as a income generator, separate to the farm.
The strength of this farm lies in it's strong water supply as there are two boreholes on the property. One is in use and the other is on standby. The Talapia section of the farm operates via the 10 000 litre an hour borehole which feeds via a reservoir into the
tunnels. There are approximately 16 000 Talapia at present and the licenses available are for Nile and Mozambique Talapia .The fish take 8 weeks to harvest and contracts are in place for the sale thereof. 8 Polythene tunnels house the breeding tanks and a separate tunnel has a water filtration system to ensure smooth operation of production. A 34 KVA standby generator ensures that the farm always operates. There is an separate outbuilding located in the middle of the property which serves as offices and public toilets, making this a farm that could easily be visited and enjoyed by the public, should the buyer wish to do so.
This farm is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the right buyer. The benefits of it are that it is close to Port Alfred but still affords the buyer a lifestyle farming and business solution. The flexibility and scope of the property make it a great investment that can be adjusted to your needs. For a change of pace and lifestyle, make that call!
