This 83-hectare farm, surrounded by the slopes of the Langeberg Mountains and its natural beauty, is located one and a half kilometers outside Swellendam and has been developed as a working farm that offers numerous opportunities for the entrepreneur. The farm is currently operating as a cut flower farm and due to its proximity to the town, it offers an excellent opportunity as a guest farm, glamping site, and even a reception venue.

Current farm income consists of four revenue sources:
• Bulb flower production unit supplying cut flowers on a daily basis to national top-end supermarkets and wholesalers (lilies, sunflowers, various seed varieties).
• Succulent nursery producing potted plants.
• Flower retail sales shop on the farm.
• Bonsmara beef cattle herd with approximately 100 animals.

The nursery section is located on 14 hectares of high potential land and consists of 3 multispan Vegtech greenhouses, 10 Haygrove type greenhouses on 1 hectare, 6 shade net houses on 3 hectares, and open lands adjacent to the river. An exceptional microclimate makes the farm highly suitable for the cultivation of berries, flowers, fynbos, fruit trees, citrus, seedlings, macadamias, almonds, or similar ventures.

The farm is particularly water-rich, located in a high rainfall area and is supplied from a river flowing through the middle of the farm. Furthermore, there is an exclusive servitude on a perennial spring providing continuous clean drinking water with bottling potential. Current registered water usage is 60,000 cubic meters per year from the rivers. There are two reservoirs of approximately 250,000 litres each, and there are also small ground dams in each cattle camp. The farm is divided into 12 larger grazing camps and three smaller camps. Grazing consists of natural grasslands with 12 hectares of arable land where oats and ryegrass are sown for winter grazing.

Housing consists of a larger residential unit currently used as weekend accommodation with 3 worker houses. Eskom electricity is connected to two power points with a backup generator. There are also two sheds, primarily for storage, packaging, and currently housing 5 cold rooms and two refrigeration containers. Tractors, trucks, implements, stock, and animals are available additionally.

The farm is being sold as a going concern, and the buyer has the option to retain only the branch of their choice. Business and farm are registered in separate companies and both registered for VAT.

This very special, versatile nursery unit is highly suitable as a commercial unit with high income potential and offers great opportunities for guest accommodation. Its location near the town makes it quickly accessible for necessities and extremely convenient for guests to participate in all the tourism activities and opportunities that Swellendam offers.
