An exciting opportunity is available to acquire a young commercial agricultural enterprise incorporating an established avocado orchard, developed irrigation infrastructure, a modern residential dwelling and significant future expansion potential.
Situated in the Rustenburg area of the North West, this approximately 4.3-hectare agricultural property presents an attractive opportunity for an investor, farmer or entrepreneur looking to enter or expand within the growing South African agricultural sector.
The operation currently comprises approximately 1,000 young avocado trees, consisting of 500 Hass and 500 Fuerte cultivars, planted on Duke 7 rootstock. The orchard is entering its commercial production phase, offering the purchaser the opportunity to benefit from increasing production as the trees mature.
One of the key attractions of the opportunity is the ability to substantially increase production. The existing orchard layout and irrigation infrastructure provide potential to intensify the avocado planting. The property also offers the potential for agricultural diversification, with infrastructure and layout reportedly capable of accommodating approximately 1,000 pecan trees. This provides a further long-term opportunity for an incoming owner, subject to independent feasibility and agronomic assessment.
The enterprise benefits from significant investment in its water and irrigation infrastructure, including a large water storage facility, pump, filtration, mainlines, submains, laterals and sprinkler infrastructure.
Adding further value to the overall offering is a newly built residence of approximately 275 m², comprising:
3 spacious bedrooms
2 modern bathrooms
Main en-suite
Open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area
The property also includes an approximately 90 m² agricultural shed/store with office space, providing practical support facilities for the agricultural operation.
The business is a registered VAT business, with the proposed transaction structured as a share sale, incorporating the immovable property and fixed agricultural improvements held within the business.
Loose or movable assets are to be negotiated separately.
