With 288.7 hectares in total, including 192.2 hectares of arable land, currently used for lucerne farming it’s also ideally suited for agricultural ventures like citrus or nut farming.

• Water Rights: 660,000 m³ of water can be pumped from the river, facilitating irrigation across 100 hectares. • Irrigation Infrastructure: A Zimmatic Pivot system, installed in 2017, covers 55 hectares of lucerne, yielding 15 tons per hectare annually. • Electricity Supply: A 200 kW ESKOM point is nearby, with pipelines installed for irrigation needs. • Water Quality: The proximity to the Buffeljags River’s mouth and Lower Breede River ensures excellent water quality for farming operations. • Land Use Flexibility: Potential for citrus, nut farming, dairy, or crop production. • Approved Dam: An approved application for a 50,000 m³ dam would enhance irrigation via gravity feed and reduce reliance on Eskom power. • Facilities: A 450 sqm steel structure for hay stacking, with open sides for ventilation.
