HIGH POTENTIAL 16.7 HA PAARL AGRICULTURAL PROPERTY WITH BERG RIVER ACCESS
Northern Paarl Fruit & Vegetable Farm
This 16.7-hectare farm enjoys an exceptional position in the Drakenstein Valley between Paarl and Wellington, ideally situated between the R44 and the Berg River, which flows alongside the property.
Its convenient access to both towns, combined with direct river frontage for water supply, places this farm in a highly favourable position for productive agriculture.
Water & Electricity
The property holds registered water rights from the Berg River, providing 75 000 m³ per year, or 5 000 m³ per hectare per year.
Three-phase electricity is supplied by Drakenstein Municipality — an important advantage for pumping river water for irrigation.
Water for residential use gets pumped from a borehole and stored in a tank.
Current production
Currently, the farm carries 3.9 hectares of guavas (cultivar: Fan Retief) under drip irrigation and 8.4 hectares of sweet potatoes under sprinkler irrigation.
High-quality guavas harvested during the winter months are delivered to the Cape Market in Epping or to local outlets. Lower-grade fruit is supplied for juicing to Rhodes Quality in Wellington.
The sweet potatoes are cultivated mainly for the production of slips, which are collected directly from the farm by sweet-potato growers. These slips are cut every second week for three months per specific field during summer, generating a strong seasonal income. Fallow practices are applied to maintain long-term soil health.
Soils
Most of the farm consists of arable land, offering flexibility for future crops. It is well maintained and can be repurposed with minimal additional cost.
Soils include sandy loam topsoil with clay loam subsoil, characteristic of the Swartland soil form, as well as a portion of deep loamy sand close to the river where the guavas are established.
A major advantage for an incoming farmer is that the seller will remain living on the neighbouring property and is available to provide practical guidance if needed.
Improvements
• Neat 4-bedroom farmhouse
• Swimming pool
• Double garage
• Large shed / storage facility
• Seven worker housing units
The farm is owned by a closed corporation (CC) and is not VAT-registered.
Asking Price: R14 million
Reasonable offers will be considered.
Farm implements and equipment are excluded from the sale.
