A Hidden Gem Near Laersdrif – The Story of a Self-Sustaining 52Ha Farm
Nestled in the heart of the Mpumalanga highlands near the quiet town of Laersdrif lies a well-kept 52-hectare farm, a true testament to the harmony between productivity and tranquility. This land, split into two fully functional and self-sufficient portions, offers not just a home but a lifestyle — one that brings together the richness of the earth and the simplicity of rural living.
Portion One – The Heart of the Homestead
As you drive through the secure, fully fenced entrance, a tree-lined path leads you to the main homestead — a spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom farmhouse, lovingly maintained and built for comfort. The house sits proudly near a 9m x 15m shed, ideal for storage or light farming equipment. A braai room with bar and build in braai is the place where memories are made.
Adjacent to the house, a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom guesthouse welcomes visitors. Designed with charm and privacy in mind, it's not just a place for family or friends — it's an income-generating asset. With a current rate of R650 per room per night, this guesthouse can bring in up to R5,850 per week at full occupancy — a rewarding bonus for any owner.
What truly sets this portion apart is the natural water furrow that flows steadily through the land, feeding life into everything it touches. From this furrow, water is diverted into a large 70m x 80m x 5m ground dam, a beautiful feature that also plays a practical role. A pressure pump system draws from the water furrow to supply 6 hectares of arable land under irrigation, ideal for cultivating cash crops or feed.
Portion Two – A Productive Powerhouse
A few minutes' drive brings you to portion two, home to a 3-bedroom house and an additional shed. But more importantly, this section boasts a fully operational training center, which currently generates a steady income of R5,000 per month — a welcome source of passive income.
Together, both portions are dotted with 16 hectares of thriving pecan nut trees, a high-value crop with long-term return potential. With deep soil, reliable water, and optimal sun, this orchard is well-positioned for commercial expansion or boutique nut production.
Moreover, the combined property includes 21 hectares of arable land, and there's a proposed 15-hectare pivot point ready to be implemented — made possible by the reliable water furrow. Whether you're looking to expand your crop yield or explore pasture cultivation, the flexibility here is immense. The 16 hectares under trees can be converted into grazing lands for cattle or sheep, supporting mixed farming with ease.
Natural Borders, Abundant Resources
The entire property is securely fenced, with its natural border formed by a serene river, adding to the beauty and the agricultural potential of the land. Water is never a concern here — the constant flow from the furrow ensures every inch of land can be utilized productively.
A Farm With Promise
This 52-hectare farm near Laersdrif isn’t just a piece of land — it's a canvas of opportunity. Whether you're an established farmer looking to expand, a young agricultural entrepreneur, or a family searching for a rural retreat with income potential, this property offers it all: sustainable water, diverse revenue streams, fertile soil, and room to grow.
Here, life flows as steadily as the furrow that sustains it — rich, rewarding, and full of promise.
