RENOWNED, FULLY OPERATIONAL OLIVE ESTATE FOR SALE
Kredouw Olive Estate is a fully operational, attractive farm at the foot of the Kredouw Pass in the exquisite Prince Albert Valley (Die Gang) on the R407, between Klaarstroom and Prince Albert (25km from Prince Albert). This perfect location allows for a higher rainfall than the district average and a much more ideal climate.
The farm lies at the foot of the mighty Swartberg Mountains. It is the first farm as you enter the valley from the east. Being the first farm in the valley, the water supply to the whole valley originates on the farm, with registered water rights of 35 hours per week at 270,000 litres per hour at full strength. The water is fed from a waterfall that is active almost 24/7, 365 days a year. There are 2 dams on the farm with a storage capacity of 150 million litres. The farm totals 1200 hectares, of which 24 are olives and 2.2 hectares are pecan nuts under double drip irrigation. All the orchards are game-fenced. You will also find apples, cherries and fig trees on the farm. Another 4 hectares of prepared land can be planted, and irrigation has already been installed.
The olive harvest is processed on the farm at the Olive oil factory or the table olive room. The temperature-controlled olive oil cellar has storage tanks of 20,000 litres and is equipped with a top-of-the-range Pieralisi press and separator. This whole operation is equipped with alternative power and can fully operate during load-shedding. An integrated solar system with a 19kva generator combined with Eskom has been installed, which allows the whole farm to operate off the grid. All the products are sold in South Africa and locally on the farm.
This estate has much more to offer: The shop stocks olive products and nuts from the farm, skin products produced from their own olive oil, clothes and more. Guests can be treated to olive oil tastings. They can also visit the art gallery where the renowned and well-known Louisa Punt-Fouché (also the Owner) can admire artwork and books. The riverine rabbit, which is on the red list of endangered species, can be found on the farm, and Louisa has written a book, Skaarser- as Skaartste Oewerkonyn van die Karoo, about this animal and all funds from the sale of this book are donated to the protection of the specie. There are hiking trails, mountain biking is possible, and the famous stone walk is only a couple of exciting events to do on the farm. Kudu and Ribbok roam freely.
Buildings consist of the following: 5 houses on the farm, eight bedrooms, six bathrooms, six kitchens, eight living areas, a gallery, six guest toilets, open and closed shed, shop, three garages, a library, three offices, store room, large laundry room, pump house, shed equipped with aquaponics system, olive tree nursery, worm farm, olive oil cellar, table olive room, cold room, olive oil factory and a 12m x 3m swimming pool. The buildings are in very good condition and recently renovated with most rooms fitted with air-conditioning.
The main goal of the farm is to be organic with minimum tillage, no herbicides, no insecticides and no treatment of water. All weeds are removed by hand. In the off-season, 3-4 men and 2-3 women work on the farm. During the season, 50 people work on the farm. No permanent workers are staying on the farm, and no right of residence.
A list of equipment can be provided. Production and financial figures are available and can be obtained and discussed in more detail with the owner. Plenty more pictures and videos available on request.
This Olive Estate has plenty to offer. Contact your agent for more information or arrange a farm viewing. It is for sale as a going concern at R37,000,000.00(excluding VAT).
