Ladismith Rural, Ladismith

If you've always dreamed of experiencing the beauty of the Karoo, now is your chance to make that dream a reality! This property is ideal for a semi-retired couple or a family working online who want to teach their children a different way of life.

The farm is located in the Okkerskraal area of Ladismith, Western Cape, and is perfect for mixed farming, with olive farming currently being the primary activity. The Ladismith farming region has long been known for producing high-quality lucerne, and more recently, seed farming (carrots and onions) has been successfully introduced to the area.

In 2013, the Extra Virgin Olive Oil produced on the farm was recognised as one of the top EVOOs in the world by the NYIOOC, a distinction achieved by only four farms in South Africa that year.

This farm has significant untapped potential for the right buyer. Its proximity to the R323, which connects Ladismith and Riversdale, allows for easy access to markets for product delivery with minimal effort. Additionally, the farm holds tourism potential that has yet to be explored.

The property consists of four portions. The farm can be divided into two working farms, with one farm consisting of 1 portion and the other farm of 3 portions. The farm is divided by the R323 into the Western and Eastern portions.

- Measures approximately 94.2776 hectares (1 portion)
- Organically farmed (registered)
- Main house with a flatlet and two labor cottages
- Water supply from Buffelsrivier Irrigation Board (Floriskraal dam) – typically 4 turns per year
- 2 ground dams with irrigation for all trees (sprayers)
,- 1.4 km river frontage (Groot River)
- Approximately 2,400 olive trees (for oil and table use)
- 7 hectares of swaled ground behind the main house, optimizing rainwater utilization for the expansion of the olive grove

Eastern Portion :-
- Measures approximately 13.4156 hectares (3 portions)
- Organically farmed (registered)

During a water turn, water is channelled via water furrows, to fill the ground dams. Water is then pumped to irrigate the olive trees with sprayers.
The strategic placement of the dams allows the natural landscape to act as catchments to maximize the amount of water collected and contributes to water management.

Please Note:-
- No VAT payable (not a going concern; transfer duty applicable)
- Farm implements can be negotiated (sold separately)
- Oil press equipment is available (sold separately): Oliomio olive press
- Boreholes are currently not in use, as water from dams is sufficient but can be equipped if needed
- Excellent location for exploring tourism opportunities
- ± 30 km from Ladismith
- ± 50 km from Riversdale
- ± 190 km from George Airport - The farm is owned by a trust (no transfer of shares or directorship)
