EXTENSIVE AGRICULTURAL INFRASTRUCTURE
The property is equipped with a range of established farming facilities, providing an excellent foundation for various agricultural operations.
Livestock Farming
- Approximately 230 metres of covered feedlot, with capacity for up to 1,000 sheep or goats
- 16 main camps, including 12 subdivided grazing sections
- Feeding troughs and dedicated grazing areas

- Additional zinc building with potential for conversion into a fourth broiler house
- Approximately 50 m x 30 m shade-net tunnel suitable for vegetable production or nursery use
- Several covered free-range chicken coops suitable for poultry, ducks or geese
Butchery & Meat Processing
An established butchery and slaughter facility provides additional potential for an integrated farming operation.
Facilities include:
- Butchery facility, previously described as registered and approved by the Health Council, without equipment
- Cold room measuring approximately 3 m x 8 m
- Freezer room measuring approximately 2.5 m x 5 m
- Slaughter facilities
- Three large cement-built storage sheds for feed, equipment and farming supplies
New buyers should independently verify the current registration, approvals and compliance requirements applicable to the meat-processing facilities.
Crop Production & Water Infrastructure
The property offers established agricultural improvements, including:
- Two boreholes previously reported to produce approximately 5,000 and 10,000 litres per hour respectively
- Large concrete storage dam and JoJo water tank
- Water distribution to livestock facilities, agricultural areas and residential sections
- Approximately 2 hectares previously used for sorghum cultivation
- Approximately 1 hectare reported to be piped for vegetable and crop production
- Established fruit trees, including peaches, plums, citrus and pomegranates
The water infrastructure and cultivated areas offer potential for further agricultural development, subject to water availability and the relevant permissions.
SECURITY & ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Security and operational infrastructure include:
- Comprehensive surveillance camera system covering the residences and key farming facilities
- Security fencing
- Established livestock, poultry and agricultural infrastructure
- Multiple residential units and extensive covered storage facilities
The existing infrastructure provides a valuable starting point for a buyer looking to establish or expand a diversified farming enterprise.
WHY THIS PROPERTY STANDS OUT
This is far more than a vacant 26-hectare smallholding. It offers a combination of four residential units, livestock facilities, poultry production infrastructure, crop-growing potential, a butchery and slaughter facility, water infrastructure and established security measures.
The property could suit an owner-operated farm, a diversified agricultural business, a livestock and poultry enterprise, a farm-based guesthouse venture or a multi-generational country lifestyle.
With its convenient N1 access and extensive existing improvements, this is an opportunity to explore the potential of a versatile agricultural property in the Limpopo Bushveld.

Before publishing: I noticed a few differences between the two listings that should be verified so the final advert is accurate:
- Feedlot: approximately 230 m in the original versus 270 m in the shorter version.
- Livestock camps: 16 main camps in the original versus 14 camps in the shorter version, with different descriptions of the subdivisions.
- Water storage: the original mentions a concrete dam and JoJo tank, while the shorter version states a dam capacity of approximately 100,000 kilolitres.
- Security and backup: the shorter version mentions electric fencing, an alarm and a backup generator, which were not all included in the original.
- Poultry and crop facilities: the original specifies three broiler houses and a 50 m x 30 m shade-net tunnel, while the shorter version refers to an approximately 400 m² chicken house and a piped crop-production area.
