Bot River established guest farm with high quality steel construction plant
EXCLUSIVE SOLE MANDATE
* Two income sources - An established very neat riverfront Guest farm with high quality guest facilities, and a high quality steel construction plant for the manufacturing of Tiny Homes, Steel structures and farm equipment.
Almost everything on this 33 ha farm in a fertile valley, with 600m riverfront and abundance of water, was replaced or refurbished or renovated. This includes the houses and other buildings, two large earth dams, top quality fences and irrigation system. The 8ha of grazing is currently under irrigation. Currently there are Springbok, Reindeer, ostriches and a few sheep on the farm. The terroir in the area is suitable for wine grapes, Apples, Citrus and even Pecanut trees . There are old established vineyards on the farm, currently under drip irrigation.
The area of Botriver is extremely popular with tourists and weekenders and most accommodation facilities in the area are mostly fully booked in advance throughout the year, we also host tourists of all over the world on the farm. This farm is the current owners pride and joy and he left no stone unturned to get it in excellent condition. He used the farm as his private lifestyle retreat, while the guest facilities that are excellently managed by competent staff, generate a good income. The guest houses has a big social media following and reviews.
Furthermore a 300m2 high quality shed was built and fitted out with new high quality tools and machinery, to specifically manufacture Tiny Homes and steel structures and general farming equipment. This is in itself a golden income opportunity ripe for the picking by the rightminded individual. This manufacturing facility is currently managed by a very competent member of the farm staff.
As it stands now, this income generating farm is on “auto pilot” with everything being run smoothly by competent staff, and only minimal effort required by its owner to keep it going perpetually.
