PLEASE NOTE: This property is not sold as a going concern – you merely purchase the extensive infrastructure to start your own business!
Nestling alongside the Cradle Moon Conservancy and situated in the picturesque Zwartkop, overlooking some breath-taking scenery and in close proximity to Lanseria Airport, The Cradle of Humankind and the popular Silverstar Casino, lies this ‘must see’ farm with a diversity of income producing infrastructure. (Although this is not sold as a going concern, you will still benefit from the current infrastructure.) This farm has easy access to the N14 via Beyers Naude extension and it is centrally located to the Johannesburg and Pretoria fresh produce markets.
If you consider yourself a budding entrepreneur with an extended family or simply want to focus
on intensive tunnel farming (with boilers for the colder winter months) you need look no further. You have extensive storage facilities of differing sizes all surrounding your main office block, with some open plan sections as well as private offices.
If you are an animal lover, specifically birds, you are spoiled with an array of aviaries of differing sizes surrounding a huge duck-pond and quite a few cascading water features. The landscaped gardens are a true utopia with massive trees, sprawling lawns and an abundance of wild birdlife that flock to this oasis.
This property, unfortunately, is part of a deceased estate and is in need of some TLC to bring it back to its glory days, but nothing that a strong, hands on, person would not be able to achieve in a relatively short time and some elbow grease.
To try and focus on a singular selling point is a bit of a mindboggling exercise as there are just too many points that need to be highlighted, but I will try my best to give you a short breakdown…..
The main house (Dwelling No:1) offers you 4 bedrooms with built in cupboards, a large loft room, two huge bathrooms, 3 living areas, a big farm style kitchen with an outside laundry plus a large Swimming pool, and entertainers Lapa.
The second house (Dwelling No:2) offers 4 Bedrooms, full modern bathroom, study, open plan lounge, kitchen and dining room. Outside laundry and private garden.
The garden cottage (Dwelling No:3) offers you 2 carpeted bedrooms, a full bathroom, and an open plan kitchen and living area surrounded by lush gardens.
The third house (Dwelling No: 4) offers 3 Spacious en-suite bedrooms, lounge, dining room and a separate kitchen.
In addition to all of the above there is lockup garaging for 7 cars, 3 large storerooms, a tennis court (That has seen better days and needs TLC), a small butchery with its own walk-in cooling room.
There are at least 2 hectares of landscaped gardens with irrigation and 5 water features.
As a business it is paramount to have good security, and this include alarms in all the houses with outside beams in the gardens. Electric fencing around 3 Ha with 2 automated entrances with CCTV cameras.
A 50 ft Concrete reservoir with a booster pump for garden irrigation that could be ideal for some Tilapia breeding with the addition of 2 further dams. An assortment of 20 Aviaries of differing sizes for parrot breeding or any other feathered friends you’d like to keep.
250 sqm Offices, satellite phones with 8 extensions.
2500 sqm Workshops, sheds, and garages. Diesel pump and tank that is predominately used for business purposes.
In total there are 36 Tunnels with 2 boiler rooms for heating your winter crops plus a seedling tunnel. All of these have automated irrigation. (TLC IS NEEDED)
7 Fully equipped boreholes of various strengths.
When it comes to your staff, you have 3 x 2 Bedroom cottages plus an additional 12 staff rooms which is more than enough for the staff compliment that will be needed to run this operation successfully.
In addition to all of the above you have a nursery under 1000 sqm shade netting. (TLC needed) with ample cycads and nursery stock that DOES NOT form part of the selling price but is negotiable over and above.
To offset some of the produce from the farm, you have a Farm stall right next to the road which is not in operation at present but has potential with good exposure.
If you are serious about intensive farming that needs a solid infrastructure, this property can become your playground. There is enough of everything to have your whole enterprise AND STAFF residing on the farm, in luxury, in a safe environment.
This is a no-brainer for the right buyer!
