Property Details

Exceptional Citrus Farm Opportunity in the Heart of the “Golden Mile” – Brits District

This prime 29-hectare citrus farm is perfectly positioned in the renowned Bokfontein area, just 12 km from Brits town, nestled within the famous “Golden Mile” — a fertile 1-mile wide strip on the northern foothills of the mountain, blessed with a moderate climate ideal for citrus cultivation. Surrounded by well-established citrus farms, this property offers excellent potential for commercial citrus production.

Prime Location & Access

The farm enjoys convenient access via a ±1 km dirt road off the R104, with an additional access route from the northern side. Nearby communities including Majakaneng, Bapong, Modderspruit, and Caradale — all within 5 km — provide a reliable labor pool during harvest seasons. The property also benefits from proximity to the CitriGold-registered export warehouse north of Brits, facilitating smooth logistics for fruit export.

Fertile Soil & Water Resources

The land, previously planted with citrus until 2016 and recently used for vegetable production, boasts well-rested sandy loam soil with excellent drainage, interrupted only by two narrow stone ridges.

Water infrastructure includes a fully functional borehole equipped with a single-phase pump and irrigation currently supplied from a dam near the home. A larger dam at the farm’s upper section is ready for future use once the young trees mature, with existing piping in good condition awaiting sealing of the dam. A second borehole near the house requires cleaning and servicing.

Additionally, there is a water pumping agreement with the mine, a neighbour registered a servitude for a water pipe running along the farm’s northern boundary, ensuring supplemental irrigation capacity.

Established Citrus Plantations

In 2021, a license was secured to cultivate and export 10 hectares of Arccit9 Nadorkott citrus under CitriGold standards. Newly planted at the end of 2023, these orchards are supported by recently installed irrigation infrastructure including new pipes, pumps, and filters, positioning the farm for immediate growth and productivity.

Comfortable & Functional Buildings

The property features a spacious three-bedroom home of approximately 230 m2, complemented by a small flat and three single garages. Large kitchen and two patios, ideal for entertaiment.

Supporting farm operations is a 200 m2 storeroom, formerly used as a packing shed and engineering workshop, with an additional 80 m2 storage area adjoining the garage. The storeroom includes an office, kitchen, and toilet facilities, providing practical workspace for farm management.

Off-Grid Electricity

Currently powered by an off-grid solar system, the farm has single-phase electricity with no Eskom connection, offering energy independence and potential for future upgrades.
