Property description

8.87 Hectares | Multiple Dwellings | 270 m² Office Facility | Solar and Battery Power | Borehole | Irrigation

A RARE COMBINATION OF LUXURY COUNTRY LIVING, MULTI-GENERATIONAL ACCOMMODATION, AGRICULTURAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND BUSINESS POTENTIAL

Welcome to an exceptional 8.87-hectare smallholding in sought-after Rietkol Agricultural Holdings, offering an outstanding combination of space, privacy, security, country living and substantial existing infrastructure.

This is far more than a conventional smallholding. The property offers multiple independent living spaces, extensive entertainment areas, established agricultural infrastructure, substantial water storage, solar and battery backup power, electric fencing and a large 270 m² modular office facility. The result is a highly versatile property suited to an extended family, multi-generational living, an owner-operated business, agricultural activities or potential additional accommodation income, subject to the applicable approvals and permitted uses.

At R4,950,000, the property offers an opportunity to acquire an extensively improved smallholding without undertaking the substantial capital expenditure normally required to establish this level of infrastructure.

270 m² BUSINESS HEADQUARTERS / OFFICE FACILITY

One of the property's standout features is the substantial 9 m x 30 m modular prefabricated office facility of approximately 270 m².

This creates significant potential for an owner-operated business requiring dedicated space for:

• Administration and management

• Staff offices

• Operations

• Storage

• Meetings

• Project management

• Agricultural administration

• Contracting or service-based businesses

The location provides convenient access towards the N12 corridor, making the property particularly attractive to businesses where accessibility and operational space are important. Any commercial or business use remains subject to the applicable zoning, municipal permissions and approvals.

SOLAR AND BACKUP POWER SYSTEM

A major advantage of the property is the substantial investment made in its power infrastructure. The owner's specifications include:

• 50 solar panels

• 16 kVA inverter

• Four 10 kVA battery units, providing approximately 40 kVA total battery capacity as specified

• Automatic changeover system for backup power continuity

This provides the purchaser with a significant existing investment in energy independence, reducing reliance on conventional municipal electricity.

SUBSTANTIAL WATER SECURITY

Water infrastructure is another major feature of this property.

• Approximately 80 m deep borehole

• Two 5,000-litre JoJo tanks

• Approximately 50,000-litre reservoir

• Pump house

• Irrigation system

• Multiple irrigation points

• Automatic and manual irrigation functionality

This infrastructure provides valuable support for the residential, agricultural and landscaping requirements of the property.

The property is already established for smallholding and agricultural use, with:

• Approximately 100 pecan nut trees

• Irrigation infrastructure

• Livestock camps

• Sheep pens

• Two covered chicken coops

• Agricultural handling facilities

• Extensive fencing

• Electric fencing

SECURITY

Security has been significantly enhanced throughout the property, with:

• Extensive perimeter fencing

• Two additional internal electric fences

• Livestock fencing

• Trellidor security installations at the main and second residences

• Controlled gated access

The combination of perimeter, internal and residence-level security provides additional peace of mind across both the residential and agricultural components.

GARAGING, STORAGE AND SUPPORT INFRASTRUCTURE

• Three garages at the main residence

• Two automated garage doors

• Additional single garage at the second residence

• One approximately 12 m container

• One approximately 6 m container
