MON DESIR ESTATE
The property is a working cattle farm and a Bed & Breakfast/Guest Lodge with a chapel and wedding venue. Overlooking Karkloof, Albert Falls, Wartburg, and Dalton, it accommodates 22-24 people, with potential for more if the main house is fully used for guests. The average price per head is R500 per night, and agricultural zoning keeps rates around R900 per month.
The converted cattle barn serves as a wedding venue for up to 140 people, supported by a commercial kitchen. The 58-hectare property includes 38 leased cows, various wildlife, and two small dams. Water is supplied by a borehole, and electricity is 3-phase from Eskom. The bar and dining areas cater to 24 daily and can seat 40 for events. The main house features two large living areas, a large kitchen, three B&B rooms, and three self-catering cottages.
The business averages 21% occupancy, with potential to exceed 50% with more marketing. The owners are considering subdividing the property to separate the farm from the accommodation, making it more affordable. The farm, leased for grazing, provides significant value in herbicides, fencing, and labor. Grazing rates are R45 per weaner and up to R70 per adult cow per month.
There are no land claims on the property, held privately since before 1912. The subdivision would leave the buildings with 8 hectares and the remaining 50 hectares as farmland, with a separate entrance from the public road.
There is so much more potential, call me now for a viewing.
