Description

This agricultural enterprise is available for purchase as an ongoing operation and is registered as a Natural Person, indicating that the owner is the sole owner and that this farm is not registered under any entity. The selling price includes all movable and immovable items on this property.

This investment opportunity showcases the acquisition of a prominent agricultural enterprise in Africa, renowned for its resilience in facing challenges. Despite Namibia's arid conditions and recurrent droughts, our main goal has been to creatively overcome these hurdles. We have not only effectively alleviated the impact of droughts but also converted these challenges into profitable ventures.

Crops: The farm utilizes two Zimmatic Centre Pivots for irrigating various crops, comprising 2.5 hectares each of lucerne, Brazilian grass, buffalo grass, and Bana grass, with an expansion to 7.5 hectares of Bana Grass in progress. Furthermore, 5 hectares are in preparation for Russian grass cultivation. A 4-hectare section is dedicated to drip irrigation for sweet potatoes, while 66 hectares of dryland are allocated for sorghum cultivation, with plans to partially convert this area into irrigated land.

Water Supply:This farm's water supply comes from 21 boreholes, with 7 equipped with windmills and the remaining 14 with submersible pumps. The water depth ranges from 20 to 150 meters, and the capacity varies from 5 to 25 cubic meters. Additionally, there are 6 uninstalled boreholes and a well that is 6 meters deep.

Livestock: The farm maintains a strong dairy and beef operation, featuring 420 cows and employing a field milking system. The cattle breeds, including Braunvieh, Fleckvieh, Brahman, Tuli Crossbred, Jerseys, and Holstein, are managed using high-density grazing to enhance productivity during the dry season. The layout includes 30 large grazing camps, 13 cattle water posts, and 18 smaller high-density grazing/dryland cultivated camps, averaging below 100 hectares each, all linked to the homestead for efficient cattle movement and management. 

Feedlot: The facility in question is a well-developed 21-pen feedlot that takes advantage of Namibia's drought conditions. This allows a potential buyer to enhance their farming operations and produce oxen for slaughter. Although the facility requires a modest capital investment for improvements such as feed troughs, the experience gained is substantial. In 2023, the incumbent farmer successfully fed and slaughtered 1,500 cattle.

Dairy: The dairy division of the business functions autonomously, creating dairy products right on the farm. These products are marketed to the local community around the farm as well as to a distribution hub in Windhoek, guaranteeing freshness and farm-to-table quality. Additionally, the products are featured in the local Fruit & Veg (Food Lovers) chain of stores.

This modern 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom farmhouse offers all the necessary amenities for comfortable living. Additionally, there is a manager's house with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, as well as 2 guest bungalows. For serious buyers, detailed information regarding the property is available upon request.

The farm includes four sheds - Feed plant(641m²), Fertilizer(165m²), Milking Parlor((301m²) and Cattle Handling/Feed Storage(400m²) - and additional infrastructure like a fuel room(16m²), worker housing for 30 permanent and up to 100 part-time employees, 2 Guest chalets, a comprehensive solar system, and extensive dairy facilities including a state-of-the-art milking parlor with an adjacent office, and a 33.6 m³ cold-room/breeding room.
