FARM FOR SALE IN ALICEDALE IN SOUTH AFRICA

OVER HECTARES OF FARM LAND FOR SALE IN THE HEART OF BIG 5 COUNTRY! The Property boasts probably one of the most prestigious addresses in the province, lying in the heart of big 5 country between Lallibella to the South, Shamwari to the West and Pumba in the East. It is accessed via approximately 6km of good gravel road off the N2, but also borders the N2 / Alicedale road in the North. The whole property is enclosed by a CAE spec, 2.4m game fence. The farm is currently run to cattle, and as such, has been divided via temporary electric strands into multiple camps. These are easily removed or shifted. Road infrastructure appears well maintained and relatively comprehensive. The primary lodge is a beautiful thatch development faced in local stone. It is comprised of a central building that houses the kitchen, dining and entertainment areas as well as an opulent main bedroom, 3 en suite secondary bedrooms and 2 upstairs bedrooms. The wrap around balcony area extends out onto a lap pool. In addition there are 2 identical chalets. These each have a living room with beautiful fireplace, a small but comprehensive kitchen and 2 luxury rooms. Each has a mezzanine level should one need the extra space. There is an out door utility room, currently used as a laundry room. All the buildings are connected via wooden walkways. Throughout, fittings, fixtures and furnishings are of the highest standards. This could easily house a 5 star establishment. Of great significance to the overall potential of the lodge and property is the fact that a successful bidder would also inherit a plot in the Adjoining Eco Estate development. By virtue thereof, the owner is entitled to traversing rights in the adjoining Lalllibela Reserve. While these are currently non commercial, commercial rights could be negotiated for a levy. This would allow for big 5 safaris into Lallibella from the lodge. The economic potential of this property is tremendous. Of late, it has been run as a mixed game / cattle venture running over 600 cows. While I personally feel this was a bit high, the veld appears non the worse for it. The lodge finishes etc are truly fantastic, as is the overall potential for an up market hospitality product. Add to this the diversity of habitat, open water with bass fishing, superb game country and access to the big 5 next door, one has the full menu of requirement for a successful eco tourism product and/or high value game centre.
