Irrigation, large stock or small stock farming! Rich in wildlife and fertile soil along the Koonap River, this vast farm is situated within the highly rated Smaldeel Conservancy and is ready to GROW.

This is a deceased estate auction matter which requires urgent finalisation.The position is Adelaide, Eastern Cape of South Africa. The farms span 2588 hectares of highly sought-after north-facing sweet veld. The farm consists of 7 separate titles and features a welcoming modern farmhouse, agricultural infrastructure for livestock and citrus irrigation, and an abundant water supply for livestock.

With kilometres of Koonap River frontage, including a GORGEOUS waterfall, the farm has been used in the past for citrus irrigation, supported by multiple livestock dams, weirs, reservoirs, and boreholes. Several irrigation farms flank the sought after Koonap River, making it a fantastic water source and contributor to the citrus industry, the region, and the town.

The undulating terrain is alive with wild game, such as kudu, warthog, duiker, bush pig, red hartebeest, bushbuck, mountain reedbuck, and scores of birdlife. We are told the browse factor is drought tolerant, indigenous vegetation includes varieties such as wild olive, spekboom, gwari and sneeze wood trees which can assist with sustaining the ecosystem through dry months.

The farm is stock-fenced into camps of varying sizes throughout, certain camps are netted for small stock predators. Various Eskom three phase power points dotted around the farms.

Antique elegance meets contemporary charm within this spacious farmhouse with an authentic wide open veranda and beautiful entrance hall. The four-bedroom home has been renovated to modern spec with a blissful combination of new and old to give it a top class finish! Featuring Oregon pine and Yellowwood flooring. Two stone cut fireplaces in the formal dining room and lounge offer comfort and real African ambience for the duration of the fresh winter evenings. There are two full bathrooms, one being en-suite to the main bedroom. The kitchen boasts unique sandstone countertops and ample space. The outside entertainment area with a massive built-in braai overlooks the manicured garden and is ready for any occasion. There are ample outbuildings and garaging.

There is a second dwelling, reinvent and renovate this redundant homestead into a family home, hunting lodge, or small business! The property also includes staff accommodation, cattle and small stock handling facilities, a citrus loading gantry, and various outhouses.
