The farm is nestled within the sweeping surroundings of Magaliesburg and Hekpoort. It is located on the R24 main road between Krugersdorp and Rustenburg and it is merely
one hour’s drive from both Johannesburg and Pretoria.
It is situated in a predominantly agricultural area that is surrounded by similar commercial farms. Because of its close proximity to Krugersdorp, Johannesburg and Sandton, the area has become popular for residential development.
Several farms have been subdivided and sold to residential buyers.
Amenities are located either in Hekpoort or Magaliesburg.
The farm is currently utilised for vegetable farming and is approximately 99 hectares in extent. It boasts excellent improvements and the perennial Swartspruit River meanders along the border of the property.
It consists of both grassy planes and panoramic hills, and a substantial portion can be ploughed on. The balance of the farm is ideal for small scale cattle and game farming.
The soil on the property is very fertile and 20 hectares of the farm contains both pivot and sprayer irrigation land.
The farm has a strong borehole with a capacity of approximately 65 000 litres per hour with water rights for 18.1 hectares.
The property also has two large chicken broilers measuring approximately 860m each.
The luxury residence on the property has a farmhouse aesthetic with a subtle contemporary appeal. The spacious living areas of the residence flow out into a beautiful landscaped garden with panoramic views that extend beyond the borders of the property. There are also workers quarters .
