This beautiful and well-kept 2.14-hectare olive farm, located in Vanderbijlpark Vanwaartshof AH, offers a unique and appealing investment opportunity.
The property features around 700 mature olive trees, along with approximately 2,100 lavender plants thoughtfully planted between them. The choice of olive cultivars was carefully made to suit the Vaal Region’s climate, soil, and frost conditions. The farm includes a balanced mix of Mission and Frantoio trees, all thriving alongside the lavender.
The lavender plays an important role on the farm, naturally helping to repel pests while attracting pollinators like bees. Beyond its practical benefits, it also adds a striking visual charm, enhancing the overall atmosphere and health of the orchard.
With most olive farming in South Africa
taking place on smaller plots, this property presents a rare and valuable opportunity. Nearly half of the country’s olive growers operate on less than 5 hectares, making this an excellent option for anyone looking to enter or expand within the industry.
The farm is neat, secure, and fully equipped. It is enclosed by a 1.89-meter wall with electric fencing, and includes a strong borehole producing 8,000 litres per hour, as well as a 65,000-litre dam. There is automated irrigation for all the trees and lavender plants, staff accommodation, a storage container, and access to municipal water and electricity. Additional features include an alarm system, CCTV cameras, fibre internet, and various equipment for maintenance.
A standout feature of the property is the spacious Lapa area, which includes separate restroom facilities, a fire pit, built-in braai, pizza oven, and seating areas. There is also a beautifully paved outdoor dining space set among the olive trees, along with a herb and vegetable garden and ample parking.
Beyond farming, this property is also perfectly suited as a venue space. Its scenic setting, natural beauty, and well-designed entertainment areas make it ideal for hosting events such as weddings, functions, or private gatherings.
Overall, this is a fantastic opportunity for an entrepreneur looking to invest in olive farming, olive-based products, or even a dual-purpose agricultural and event venue.
