Location:
The farm is situated approx 9km North of Jeffreys Bay on the Kabeljouws River
Size
The farming unit is made up of 2 different entities with shared infrastructure, which, although they are currently farmed as a unit, may be sold separately. The 2 portions are a cumulative 589 Ha in extent (135Ha + 454Ha)
Description:
Currently farmed as dairy, the 2 properties lie on a remarkably spectacular bend in the Kabeljouws river gorge. Vertical stone cliffs, (from whence the farm gets its name) provide a dramatic backdrop to the heavily wooded kloofs and gorges which divide the emerald green kikuyu pastures. Out of the valley, a higher, flat plateau is divided into 5, well watered camps currently used for dry cows and heifers...
Veld types:
The bulk of the higher, veld camps are typical of the sour, fynbos veld common to this area. Grass species found include, themedia Triandra, Cynodon Dactylon, Aristida congesta and Eragrostis curvula. The gorges are well wooded with cape valley bushveld. There was evidence of some of the perennial pannicum species on the canopy margins and drainage lines. The western valley floor, and the bulk of the western area sloping gently up to the public road, has been established to kikuyu pastures under permanent, spray irrigation (not drag lines). The 2 farms have a combined 53Ha of permanent pastures as well as 30Ha of dry lands, usually planted to winter fodder crops like rye grass and oats.
Rainfall:
The farm falls in a transition summer / winter rainfall area with an annual average of 700mm.
Improvements:
There is a house on each of the properties, one of which has been converted into a licensed chicken abattoir. The main dwelling has four bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen, dining room and lounge, with a separate outdoor toilet and shower (currently used for staff). The abattoir is in a 4 bedroom, 1 bathroom house with kitchen lounge and dining room, which could easily be re converted should one so wish. The chicken enterprise is on a 2 week cycle pacing 2000 birds at a time. They currently slaughter 4000 birds a month and have established outlets for this volume +. The dairy itself is a 16 point herringbone static with a 6500l milk cooler and electronic feeding system. Currently the farm milks 220 cows and carries all it's dry and young stock without supplementary bulk feed.
In addition there is a 300sqm feed store, spray race and cattle handling facility. As discussed, the dry veld is divided into 5 camps, each with its own piped water supply.
Water is currently pumped out of the kabeljouws river, and each irrigation block is serviced by its own pump ( total 5 ) negating the need for cross over valves etc. As discussed the irrigation is all permanent and each block is activated with the flick of a switch.
There are pre approved designs and permission for a large dam. Should this be built, one could easily put the remaining 30h of dry land under irrigation.
Conclusion:
The farm is aesthetically very pretty and gives the impression of being a very neat, well run setup. It's proximity to Jeffreys bay, makes for an easy family lifestyle, while being far enough out to retain the privacy and serenity of farm Life. The dairy and chicken business provide an impressive revenue stream on a scale that is still very manageable.
