93-Hectare Riverfront Farm with Guesthouse and Agricultural Redevelopment Potential - Schoemanskloof
Situated in the scenic Schoemanskloof valley, approximately 40 km from Mbombela, this 93-hectare farm offers a combination of Crocodile River frontage, 18 hectares of registered water rights, existing irrigation infrastructure and accommodation with the potential for establishing a guesthouse business.
The property presents an opportunity for a buyer looking to develop an agricultural enterprise alongside a country hospitality venture. With established buildings, water resources and land available for rehabilitation, the farm provides a foundation for a carefully planned, long-term development.
Land, Water Rights & Irrigation Infrastructure
One of the property's key assets is its 18 hectares of registered water rights from the Crocodile River, supported by existing irrigation infrastructure. The farm enjoys close to two kilometres of river frontage, providing a valuable natural setting and an important water resource for future agricultural development.
Of the total 93 hectares, approximately 25 hectares are considered arable, offering potential for the re-establishment of agricultural production.
The land is currently not under commercial cultivation. Certain areas require de-bushing and the removal of old trees or invasive vegetation before planting can resume. The existing irrigation infrastructure provides a starting point for redevelopment, subject to assessment of its condition and any upgrades required.
Potential agricultural activities include citrus and vegetable production, subject to soil suitability, irrigation planning and seasonal frost considerations. Other portions of the property may be suitable for grazing, depending on veld condition and carrying capacity.
Existing Accommodation & Guesthouse Development Potential
The farm benefits from existing accommodation and leisure infrastructure that offers potential for the establishment of a guesthouse or country retreat, subject to any necessary approvals and improvements.
The 234 m² main building includes:
- Five en-suite bedrooms
- A spacious communal lounge
- A loft/library area
A separate one-bedroom cottage provides additional accommodation, with its own bathroom, small kitchen and lounge.
The outdoor facilities include a 54 m² lapa and braai area, swimming pool and established gardens, creating an attractive environment for a future hospitality offering.
These existing facilities provide a foundation from which a new owner could develop a guesthouse business, without having to establish all the accommodation infrastructure from scratch.
Established Fruit & Nut Trees
The property features a variety of established trees, including:
- 13 mature pecan trees along the riverbank
- Approximately 200 younger pecan trees planted across two hectares
- Six Mission olive trees
- 20 mature avocado trees
- Assorted citrus and other fruit and nut trees
These plantings offer additional agricultural possibilities, although their current condition and productive potential should be evaluated as part of the buyer's overall development plan.
Farm Infrastructure & Improvements
In addition to the existing irrigation infrastructure and accommodation facilities, the property includes:
- Two general storage buildings of approximately 100 m² and 176 m²
- A 270 m² lock-up implement shed
- Staff quarters with two rooms and ablution facilities
The combination of agricultural buildings, irrigation infrastructure and existing accommodation supports the property's potential for both farming and hospitality development.
