lands with a perennial river running through it. An abundance of water is currently largely underutilised and leaves the canvas blank for the new owner to expand into high income generating farming enterprises. 26 Km’s from Uniondale and only 90 km’s from George.

intervention practices (only animals presenting with illness symptoms are treated)
thereby producing meat as nature intended it to be – hormone and chemical free.
Pros and Potential:
Water, Water, Water !!
Close to large markets (George, Knysna, Mosselbay etc.)
Easy farm access for transportation purposes from N9 but still just enough seclusion to ensure privacy and increased safety.
Expansion of current lands and water networks are possible.
Ideal for the establishment of a variety of full organic farming enterprises.
Future establishment of echo tourism in mountainous areas and a huge potential exist for accommodation that can be built in the spectacular open areas among the abundant trees next to the perennial river.
Future high income generating produce to be considered: Pomegranates, Plums, Pears, Apples, Certain Citrus, Nuts, Berries, Vegetables, Strawberries etc. etc.
This property lends itself well towards a family run enterprise or the establishment of a partnership aimed at high income generation.
