R7 500 000 | 40.4 Ha Farm (Macadamia) - Roodewal area, Louis Trichardt, Limpopo, South Africa - Sold in Louis Trichardt, Louis Trichardt

This 40.4027Ha established Macadamia farm is located +/- 7km east of the town Louis Trichardt against the southern foothills of the Soutpansberg, Limpopo province, in the Republic of South Africa. Access to the property is obtained directly off the N1, Louis Trichardt/Musina tarmac.

The property is owned by a South African company. The company is VAT registered.

Income is generated from the existing 20 Ha Macadamia orchard. The current established Macadamia orchard include a total of 6088 trees, planted at 8m x 4m spacings. Macadamia tree varieties include, Beaumont, Nelmac, 842, 849 and 791.

Existing orchard and establishment period;
2004 – 1716 trees: +/- 5.5 Hectare (Beaumont) – Irrigation installed
2018 – 1248 trees: +/- 4.0 Hectare (Beaumont)
2019 – 624 trees: +/- 2.0 Hectare (Beaumont)
2020 – 2500 trees: +/- 8.5 Hectare (1000x Nelmac, 500x 842, 500x 849, 500x 791)

To maximise efficiency, an additional 13.0 Hectare of undeveloped land, suitable for establishment of a further 4056 trees (8m x 4m Spacing) exist. Complete development and establishment of the farm will effectively result in a total number of 10144+ established trees. Considering the current accepted industry norm of 13kg NIS (Nut in Shel) per mature tree, an orchard of 10144+ trees will be capable to produce in excess of 132 tons Nut in Shell (NIS) at maturity.

Evident from statistics and conservative forecasting, investment into the current Macadamia farming operation offers a profitable business opportunity as is. However, investing in the development and establishment of the additional 13Ha Macadamia trees, will most definitely enable a lucrative business over time.

The perimeter of the farm is completely electrical fenced.

Apart from the developed tree orchard Infrastructure and facilities on the property include; a neat and well maintained 220 m² 3 Bedroom House, a secure yard space, and 220m² lock up Zink store.

Electricity is supplied by Makhado Local Authority via a 50Kva transformer.
