vegetables such as cabbage, garlic, and berries under irrigation / establish a plant nursery / grow
grasses using the hydroponics method.
The large shed has previously been used as a truck workshop and stables. It can be converted to be a
unique wedding venue / cottage industry / art studio.
The small shed can house a caravan, tractor, or farm implement and has 2 storerooms.
The two grazing camps are served by a movable drinking trough.
The 7 chicken runs, 2 pig sties and duck pond need attention.

gas to become 100% self-sufficient and live completely off grid, which many dream of doing. Here
you can be fully self sufficient by keeping your own animals and birds for your meat requirements
and growing your own vegetables plus have extra to freeze or sell.

Financing the R1.7 million
A few banks classify a property of this size as a smallholding, and treat the loan applications like an
ordinary residential property, requiring only a 10% deposit of R170,000.00 from the buyer. Other
banks classify it as a small farm and finance up to 60% or 70% of the purchase price, namely
R1,020,000-00 or R1,190,000 in this case, which means the Purchaser pays a cash deposit of 40% or
30% of the purchase price, which is R680,000-00 or R510,000. (Transfer duty to SARS plus the
conveyancing fees will be around R65,000. If you require bank financing, add bond registration fees
of about R40,000-00, so all together expect to pay about R105,000-00 for transfer and bond
registration fees, including the transfer duty payable to SARS).
Rawson’s in-house Finance Department will gladly obtain your prequalification certificate, apply to
all the banks on your behalf, and broker the best possible financing deal for you.
