85Ha Farm For Sale in Bela Bela

This exceptional 85-hectare farm, located just 5 kilometers from Bela Bela and only an hour’s drive from Pretoria, is a rare opportunity combining prime location, modern infrastructure, and diverse agricultural potential. The property is beautifully developed, offering 32 hectares of arable fields, a 15-hectare center pivot irrigation system, fertile pastures, secured water rights, and registered agricultural business rights. Farming activities include maize production under a current research contract, which can be renegotiated by the new owner, as well as rotational grazing for beef supported by Bloubuffel, Smutsvinger, and Star grass with a carrying capacity of approximately 60 LSU. Water supply is centralized through six boreholes feeding a 210,000-liter cement dam, with distribution managed by an 11kW centrifugal pump, while a seventh borehole services the dwellings and shed area.

The property is fully enclosed with sturdy 1.8-meter fencing, while the houses, shed, storerooms, and staff accommodation are separately secured with electric fencing. A neatly designed entrance and electric gate set the tone for the exceptional maintenance and development throughout. The main residence is a double-story home featuring three bedrooms, three bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen with scullery, spacious lounge and dining areas, a balcony with sweeping views, a patio with built-in braai, and a double garage. The second house offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen with scullery and pantry, an office, living and dining areas, a patio overlooking the landscaped garden, a double garage, and covered parking. Between the two homes lies a swimming pool, perfect for summer relaxation. An additional apartment, currently rented out, provides two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a lounge, generating extra income.

Supporting infrastructure includes a secured 500sqm shed with adjoining storage facilities, cattle-handling facilities, and staff accommodation comprising seven bedrooms, ablution facilities, and a basic kitchen. Electricity is supplied through two 3-phase transformers, with two 2,200-liter fuel tanks located near the shed. Adding immense value, the farm is equipped with a professionally installed 50kW grid-tied solar system, designed to commercial specifications and certified with a CoC. The system consists of two 25kW inverters, five 9kW lithium batteries, ninety 560Wp solar panels, and a solar/Eskom gateway. Capable of generating up to 48kW on a good day, it allows the operation to run largely independent of Eskom during daylight hours, significantly reducing monthly electricity costs while maintaining grid connection for night irrigation.

In addition to its agricultural and residential appeal, the farm includes a 2-hectare portion along the R101 rezoned for agri-business, opening further commercial opportunities for the new owner. This property is a complete package—secure, versatile, and ready for both farming and business ventures. Interested buyers are encouraged to arrange a viewing to experience firsthand the exceptional potential this farm has to offer
