Agricultural Property | Farms in South Africa

Agricultural property and farms can be found in abundance throughout South Africa, as the soil is extremely fertile in many areas and the climate often suits the mass production of various food products, whether it be crops or breeding animals.  Real estate agents from all over the country advertise their stock of agricultural property or farms through SA Hometraders.

Today, agricultural properties are not restricted to commercial use, as there are a number of residential farm developments that have sprung in recent years, assisting farmers who own wine or equestrian estates with the upkeep of their land and to supplement their income.  Those who develop golf courses on the land often develop estates to cover the cost of designing, creating and maintaining the course. 

Types of agricultural property on the market include: 

• Smallholdings
• Vineyards and wine estates
• Deciduous fruit estates
• Citrus estates
• Dairy farms
• Ostrich farms
• Horse stud breeding farms
• Sheep or cattle ranches
• Private nature reserves
• Export flower farms
• Aquaculture
• Horticulture
• Organic produce farms
• Holiday spas and retreat locations

When you are looking to invest in farms or agricultural properties, it is important to take certain factors into consideration.  These include the general weather and climate experienced in the area, what the political or economic situation might be, whether the infrastructure in terms of roads, schools, sports and medical facilities are adequate, specific information regarding issues around chemicals and fertilizers, as well as agricultural market trends, farm business plans, cash flows and management policies.  All this information can be obtained from specialist estate agents advertising on SAHometraders who market agricultural property and farms.
