Beautiful And Fertile 70 Acre Farm For Sale

Details

Situated on on the Northern shores of Lake Naivasha in the Great Rift Valley are two beautiful 70 Acres land parcels. These parcels of land next to each other are FREEHOLD and comprise of approximately 35 acres each, with Government road access on two boundaries.

In 2005, development of the land took place, with the farm being marked out into one hectare plots for farming. The farm’s soil is of the best quality anywhere around the lake, and goes to great depth. It is very slightly sloped and thus there is perfect gradient to prevent flooding or erosion.

The Land
Current development comprises:

18 hectares of Rhodes grass which, in this climate, avails two crops annually of prime quality hay
A further hectare of Eucalyptus cameldulensis which was planted in October 2008
A hectare of neatly and ideally spaced Yellow Fever Acacia trees planted in March 2010 which are indigenous to the area
One hectare of neatly and ideally spaced Gravillea trees planted in October 2011 as an investment for the timber industry
7 acres comprises of:

Vegetable gardens
Citrus groves
Domestic gardens
Staff quarters in the form of four single-roomed accommodations and two double-roomed accommodations.
The above in the 7 Acres have solar electricity, a large sheltered sitting/cooking area, a hygienic long-drop toilet and a shower providing solarized hot water and cold water.

Water is supplied through a borehole and solar-powered pump, providing 2,500 litres of water an hour on. The valid water permit is for a maximum of 40 m3 per day, but there is no drop-down in water level at this rate. The evidence from the neighbouring farm, which sources from the same underground supply, is that the whole property can easily be irrigated on an intensive horticultural scale if needed. Two PVC main lines, varying in size from 4inch to 3inch, exist underground in two parallel lines perfectly spaced for irrigation systems to be installed. Foundations for a 320,000-litre water tank at the highest point of the property are in place. Nine water troughs are in place; gravity fed with water from a top tank.

Houses and Developments
Two houses are on the property, both of which are supplied with constant electricity from 47 solar panels and a bank of very large batteries. Each house has the electricity to facilitate any appliance needed.

The first house, Nduni House, is cleverly built around two 20-foot containers and comprises of three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, dhobi, stores, a dining room, a sitting room, and a front verandah. With beautiful views of the Mau Escarpment and Eburru Forest behind, and Lake Naivasha and Mount Longonot in front, this is a beautiful house, complete with a wonderful garden and barbeque site.

The larger house, Ndoto House, is aptly named and comprises of a three-car garage, workshop, dhobi and drying room attached to the main house. It contains an entrance hall, a massive kitchen with two stores, two very large dining rooms, and a lovely sunny courtyard surrounded by four double bedrooms. Also it has stores, a total of six toilets, four showers and two baths, an office, an enormous sitting room with a second sitting room on a balcony above, and an indoor and outdoor verandah overlooking a large and beautifully manicured garden.

Self-contained with water and electricity, with 47,000 litres of rainwater storage, this accommodation could be used for a variety of purposes. Electricity pylons and cables have been installed along the boundary of the property, allowing for potential development at very low cost.
