Spectacular Export Fruit Farm, perfectly positioned with young plantings!
On offer, especially for you on Shared Mandate.
Once in a lifetime, a package like this will become available! Do not miss out on this magnificent offer! Close to Montagu, close to a pack-house, fertile soil, lots of water, a success-story in the making.
Three farms, moulded together in one prime package with all the hard work already done! Carefully and beautifully developed by the owner and his production team, over the last 19 years. Most of the plantings are young, some are not even in full production yet but exactly that, secures a bright future! The production figures are growing every year, statistics available. The different varieties are planted with state-of-the-art technology in the latest fashion to supply the growing international demand.
The three farms together cover an area of 383Ha in total, of which 101Ha is arable land. The orchards already planted, totalling 86 Ha comprising the latest varieties like; Stone fruit 38Ha (Apricots, Peaches, Plums and Nectarines), Citrus 38Ha (Mandarins, Clementines, Satsumas, Navels and Lemons), 5Ha of Low Chill Apples and 5Ha of Vines (Chenin Blanc and Shiraz). A further 15Ha is available for further plantings of nectarines and low chill pome fruit.
Comprehensive orchard stats and harvest history is available to the qualified Purchaser. The fruit is currently packed at a pack-house bordering the farm and exported by a well-established and successful Exporter.
Water supply comes from 133Ha of which about 102Ha is from the very popular and well managed CBR Irrigation Scheme (From the Breede Rivier and Brandvlei Dam) core quota , 21HA from the CBR exchange quota. A small allocation (about 10Ha) from the Poortjieskloof Dam. Some of the irrigation is under self-pressure with no pumping required but a manmade ground dam is used for storage, to pump some of the water uphill, where required.
Perfectly situated on the foothills of the Langeberg Mountains, these farms enjoy the breath-taking views over the surrounding mountains. These mountains not only provide spectacular views, it also protects against high winds and extreme elements. With carefully planned orchards and planted windbreakers, netting is typically not required. Pristine, fertile soil, enough water and very favourable conditions in this area, make these farms ideal for export fruit production.

Infrastructure on the farms consist of two main dwellings, a two-bedroom cottage, large barn used as workshop and equipment shed, several pump houses, store rooms and labourers’ cottages. The Manor House is beautiful and has very special features, but is in need of some tender love and care. Building plans are done by a renowned architect, to change this grand old lady, into an upmarket Guesthouse. Montagu is the hub for tourism, well positioned on the very popular R62, on the way to the Garden Route (but I’m sure you know that!)
The implements are well maintained, in good condition and can be included in the sale, to make this a running concern. Please note that the implements and equipment are negotiable and are not part of the original sale. The three farms are currently managed by a very capable team as one big unit, saving costs that way.
The Montagu Airfield is situated on the southern section of the farm and consists of two landing strips and three hangers for private aircraft. This is a feature that can be expanded in the future, as the demand grows. As tourism becomes more and more popular in Montagu, this can be developed into a profitable commodity.
Do not miss out on this opportunity, you will never know, if you have not seen this. Available as a going concern, excluding V.A.T. with no Transfer Duty payable!
