About this farm

A private and secluded farm of 24.7 hectares in the Baardskeerdersbos valley, set between the village and the white beaches of Pearly Beach, about 9 km away. It suits off-grid living, small-scale farming, livestock or a quiet family homestead.

Water and power are already in place. A solar-powered borehole is stated to yield 2 500 litres an hour, there are two dams, and rainwater tanks stand at the house. A complete off-grid system of panels and an inverter runs the main residence, and an Eskom connection point of 50 kVA is available for backup or future expansion.

The brick home has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen and lounge, and an indoor braai room with a timber ceiling and exposed brick. Around it stand a closed shed with a cold room, an open shed for implements and hay, pigsties and broiler houses, and a historic dairy stable that needs repair.

The land is arable, with three grazing camps currently carrying sheep, and the fencing is reported to be in good repair. Productive vegetable beds are already established in front of the house.

Baardskeerdersbos is a small, historically rooted village with an artistic community and an Art Route twice a year. The seller is a registered VAT vendor, so VAT is payable on top of the asking price. Viewings are by prior appointment.

Before you make an offer

VAT on the price

R1 260 000

The seller is a registered VAT vendor and the asking price excludes VAT, so VAT at 15% goes on top: R9 660 000 in all, unless the sale is zero-rated as a going concern, which the conveyancer confirms.

Transfer duty

None

A sale that carries VAT carries no transfer duty (Transfer Duty Act, section 9(15)). If the conveyancer finds that VAT does not apply to this sale, duty of R701 356 is due instead, at the SARS rates from 1 April 2026.

The borehole figure

2 500 litres an hour is the yield the seller states. A yield depends on how long, and in which season, the borehole was tested, so ask for the test certificate: who tested it, when, for how many hours and at what drawdown. Taking groundwater for the household, a small garden that is not commercial and stock grazing the land needs no licence (National Water Act, 1998, Schedule 1); pumping to irrigate a crop needs an existing lawful use, a general authorisation or a water use licence.

General guidance, not legal or tax advice. Conveyancing and deeds office costs come on top of the duty, and the transferring attorney confirms every figure.
