Farm For Sale In Simanjiro-5000 Acres

Details

Description

Agricultural farm

This beautiful farm is located in Simanjiro, app. 3 hours / 160 km from Arusha. The farm is located 1,400 metres above sea level and measures 5,000 acres (2,020 hectares). App. 3,500 acres are used for agricultural purposes while the rest is bushland (there would be great potential in turning the bushland in to a game reserve). The farm was started from scratch by the present owners back in 1987 (back then the land consisted of medium light woodland) and was fenced a few years back with a 21 km electric fence. A variety of crops are grown on the farm; beans, sunflower, sorghum and barley, and the crops are sold to contract off takers in Tanzania. The export market would provide an opportunity to improve the financial yields on the farm. Modern production methods are used and the farm is sold with an extensive list of assets, among them 3 Class harvesters and 7 tractors (Valmet, Valtra and Case – a complete asset list with an estimated market value of MUSD 1 will be sent to interested parties). The existence of all the necessary machinery & equipment means that a new owner can continue farming from day one. There are three wells on the farm for production of water for private use. Power comes from solar generation plus generators. There are no irrigation facilities at hand and these would be costly to install. Despite this, the farm has proven very productive with an average rainfall of app. 550 mm per year. The present owner has experienced a five-year-cycle when it comes to yields where every five years contain one really strong year, one weak year and three years yielding average harvests. There are several structures on the farm connected to the actual farming plus a farmhouse built in the 1990s together with a guest house. The farm comes with a clean title deed (99 years from 1987).
