R 5 500 000 | Farm for Sale in Ashburton

Do not miss this opportunity to invest in this magnificent, income generating bushveld farm. The property is set on just over 20 hectares,
within a 500 hectare nature conservancy, offering exquisite African Bushveld and an abundance of free roaming Game that leisurely stroll through the property,
almost within touching distance.

An added benefit is that the property is already generating a respectable income from two different sources. Rental Income of approximately R30,000.00 per month
generated from the 7 cottages (and an 8th cottage structure is up, but needs to be completed, this cottage could easily generate an additional R6,500.00 per month). Additionally there is an income of between R8,000.00 and R35,000.00 per month profit, generated from the sale of Indigenous plants grown on the property and sold from the onsite, well established Nursery. The property is home to an Aloe Plantation offering an amazing array of beautiful Aloes – including some very rare ones – over 200 species of Aloe as well as Tree Aloes which are already very tall and worth at least R5,000.00 each! There are currently about 25,000 bagged Aloes ready for sale plus a huge nursery full of a variety of gorgeous indigenous plants and trees - should you want to purchase the business included in the sale of the property this can be discussed additionally.

This is a beautiful property and has so much to offer! Zoned Agriculture, the property can be further developed for Nature Based Tourism initiatives, making it an ideal property for an Eco Tourism Development or outdoor adventure park as well as several other initiatives aimed at the Tourism Industry. Ideally located not far off the N3 only a few kilometres out of Pietermaritzburg, the area is quickly gaining economic momentum due to the N3 Corridor upgrades, making this property an excellent choice to draw visitors travelling between Johannesburg and Durban.
