Boutique Olive Estate (538)
Position, position, position!
Available under Exclusive Sole Mandate by Dries Barnard Properties, the Farming Specialists.
This unique opportunity is the chance of a life-time! Situated close enough, but away from the very popular Route 62 with Eco Tourism potential. Merton Olives have their own label, a full-on operational Olive farm with expansion potential.
Situated at the edge of the very popular country town, Barrydale, you will find this treasure.
A river runs through the property and the owner has pumping rights out of the river. Because of its position, the river and the setting, this small holding has potential as a very popular Tourist Destination.
The beautiful, well built, three-bedroom, farm-style, main dwelling is strategically positioned amongst the Olive trees. An inviting sun-deck is built over the dam with lots of birdlife, entertainment made easy and the view is for free! Position, position, position!

Two 2-bedroom cottages are currently rented out permanently to two very good paying Tenants. These cottages can be upgraded for Eco Tourism, if so required? Also, this small holding allows itself to be sub-divided for future development. The town can expand in that direction. Other outbuildings consist of staff quarters, a garage and sheep handling facilities.
Farming activities consist of more than 3Ha of Olive trees and another 7Ha can be developed for grazing your sheep. This versatile farm can be a flourishing money-making entity if that is your goal or it can be the “hobby farmer’s” dream, seeing that the operational time for farming Olives is only 4 months a year. Olive Oil and Table Olives are in full production. A fully equipped Olive processing plant with holding tanks and an operational Oliogmia Olive Press, (capable of 30Kg/hour,) is part of the deal. You add your own Label to it and start earning bigtime! Self-sufficient farming is definitely an option. Even free-range chickens, cattle or horses can be introduced.
A Diesel pump, in need of attention, can pump the water from the river into one of the two manmade earth dams. The farm has an allocation of 22 hours/month water rights allocated to it. The strong borehole is equipped with a three-phase submersible pump and to change that to a solar pump, will just increase your profit margins dramatically. If financial rewards are your goal, there are ample opportunities here! With so much water and fertile soil, you can plant to your heart’s desire! The next-door neighbour successfully does seed production.
As a going concern, the farm comes with the necessary farming equipment like a tractor, Bushwhacker, plough, cultivator, harrow, and an extra water pump running off the [hidden] of the tractor and other necessary implements. Equipment needed in the day to day running of the farm, are inc
