An exceptional opportunity to acquire a landmark property on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast, ideally positioned bordering San Lameer Golf Estate.
Known as Southdowns Farm, this substantial 20.58-hectare property comprises two adjoining cadastral portions:
The property is an established farming property with existing buildings, infrastructure and agricultural improvements, offering an exciting opportunity for a purchaser looking for a gentleman’s estate, sizeable agricultural holding or property with longer-term development potential.
ESTABLISHED MACADAMIA OPERATION
Southdowns Farm features mature, productive macadamia orchards consisting of Beaumont, 814 and 741 cultivars.
The macadamia operation has primarily been managed as a sideline and supplementary income-producing activity rather than an intensive commercial farming enterprise. Despite this, the established orchards produce a harvest and generate income, providing a new owner with the opportunity to continue the operation at its current scale or explore further expansion.
The established farming infrastructure includes:
• Macadamia processing facility with the necessary equipment
• Large-capacity drying bins for harvested nuts
• Walk-in chiller room with full backup chiller facility
• Extensive storerooms for farming equipment, stock and harvested produce
• Existing buildings and operational infrastructure
A major feature of the property is the established roadside farm kiosk, which has been operating for more than 30 years, providing direct sales of macadamia nuts and other goods to the public.
The combination of mature orchards together with existing processing, drying, storage and direct-sales infrastructure means much of what is required to continue the existing macadamia operation is already in place.
4-BEDROOM MAIN HOUSE
The property includes a spacious four-bedroom family home, offering comfortable country-style living with beautiful surroundings and scenic views.
The residence features:
• Four well-proportioned bedrooms
• Spacious and comfortable family living areas
• Fully equipped kitchen
• Generous covered outdoor entertainment patio
• Private landscaped garden
• Swimming pool
• Scenic and sea views
The combination of generous living spaces, established gardens and outdoor entertainment areas creates a relaxed and private setting from which to enjoy the property and its surroundings.
3-BEDROOM COTTAGE
The property also includes a separate 3-bedroom cottage, comprising:
• 3 bedrooms
• Main en-suite bathroom
• Separate full bathroom
• Kitchen
• Lounge and dining area
• Garage
The cottage offers potential for holiday accommodation or additional rental income and is currently being utilised in connection with an additional business operation conducted from the property.
