Property description

Set within the Kouga Municipality in the Humansdorp district of the Eastern Cape, this remarkable agricultural property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and highly versatile farming enterprise extending across approximately 1 867.48 hectares.

The property comprises three title deeds - Middelwater measuring approximately 497.49ha, Northfield No. 360 measuring approximately 378.54ha, and Portion 5 of the Farm Hol Rivier No. 19 measuring approximately 991.45ha. 

Offering an exceptional combination of agriculture, livestock farming, guest accommodation and lifestyle potential, the farm is characterised by beautiful natural surroundings incorporating mountains, fynbos, natural springs and diverse landscapes. Its setting also lends itself to a variety of recreational and tourism activities, including birdwatching, fishing, mountain biking, 4x4 trails and nature-based experiences. 

Established Kiwi Production and Agricultural Potential

A standout feature of the property is its established kiwi fruit operation, with approximately 6 hectares under shade netting, of which approximately 5.5 hectares are planted to kiwi fruit. The property also includes approximately 8 hectares of permanent pasture. Water is gravity-fed to the kiwi orchards and permanent pastures, while the supporting irrigation infrastructure includes a filter station, drip irrigation and sprinkler systems. 

The farm has historically supported a diverse range of agricultural activities, with kiwi fruit and cattle forming key components of the current operation. The seller describes the property as having very good soils, including red and turf soils, adding further agricultural potential. 

Excellent Water Resources

Water is a particularly valuable feature of this property. A Water Use Licence is recorded for the farm, together with four dams and a reservoir, while natural springs provide an additional water source. Irrigation rights are also recorded for the property. 

This established water infrastructure, together with gravity-fed irrigation to the productive areas, provides an important foundation for continued agricultural use.

Accommodation and Guest Farm Potential

A main farmhouse of approximately 250m² is complemented by two fully equipped guest houses, each capable of accommodating approximately eight guests, as well as additional residential accommodation. There are also five worker houses on the property. 

The established guest accommodation, combined with the farm's natural surroundings, creates exciting potential for agri-tourism, retreats, adventure tourism, nature-based accommodation or an expanded guest farm operation.
