This 737Ha commercial agricultural farm located In the Vivo region of Limpopo. This farm is a prime example of the province's status as South Africa's leading producer of both citrus and tomatoes.
Positioned in the fertile gap between the Soutpansberg and Blouberg mountain ranges, the farm benefits from a warm, nearly frost-free climate ideal for high-value citrus and year-round tomato production.
The region offers the warm, dry conditions required to grow high-quality tomatoes and other rotational seasonal crops under irrigation, minimizing foliar disease risks common in more humid areas.
The agricultural node of Vivo is a major national hub for horticulture, known for its optimal "sweet grass" grazing and high-yield vegetable farming.
Limpopo contributes roughly 66% of South Africa's annual tomato tonnage. This farm is positioned to tap into existing supply chains for major retailers and processing plants. Strategic access to the N1 National Highway facilitates rapid transport to the Johannesburg Fresh Produce Market or export ports.
This property offers a highly diversified revenue model across permanent orchards, intensive rotational seasonal cropping, and grazing.
Orchards and Crops
The Citrus orchards of ±48Ha are mature groves in a province that produces approximately 42% of South Africa's citrus. Varieties include Leandri. Carrizo, RMH, Swingle and C35.
These are predominantly Exclusive Varieties which have a higher yield market value per Hectare than other varieties ranging from a low of R525 000.00 / Ha to a high of R575 000.00 / Ha in this region. These also sought after export varieties.
There is ±125Ha of Cultivated Land for rotational seasonal crops.
Prepared irrigated land of ±95Ha with surplus water allocation is ready for immediate planting. In addition, there is future arable land of ±132Ha of high-potential ground available which is suitable for expanding either the citrus or tomato footprint.
Infrastructure
• Holding Dam fed by Boreholes
• Warehouse & Store
• Cold Storage Area
• Staff Housing
Grazing
In addition, there is extensive high quality grazing rangeland suitable for cattle or game farming of ±338 Ha.
The grazing land in this area is primarily Savanna Biome, specifically categorized as Central Bushveld and Makhado Sweet Bushveld which is highly suitable for cattle farming.
Water Rights and Water Security
The farm has multiple registered high-yield boreholes supporting an irrigable area of ±402 Ha with up to 1.6mil m3 per annum water rights. Irrigation is the primary success factor for the orchards and crops in this region supplied by the aquifers.
The source of the groundwater is from the A63D quaternary catchment (part of the Lower Mogalakwena system) part of the Mogalakwena River catchment fed by aquifers.
The boreholes pump into a holding dam, and the crops are irrigated via a gravity-flow system from a main line.
The registered water rights for this farm authorizes the use of up to 1 608 190m3 per annum of ground water supplied by boreholes for the irrigation of 402Ha.
Based on a Hydrological Report by WSM Leshika Consulting Pty) Ltd in 2020, which determined that there are 2 Boreholes identified as the main production boreholes pumping 15ℓ per second each alternately for 12 hours per day = 473 040m3 and 3 boreholes to be used as backup boreholes to the production holes.
The consulting firm further confirmed the following supporting information:
• The hydrogeological analysis recommendations normally follow a conservative approach.
• The Clarens sandstone aquifer is a significant subsoil source with reliable water yields.
• Proper monitoring programs will ensure sustainable long-term abstraction.
