Suggestions for this property.
This property has produced poultry (chickens) very successfully for several years now – the staff here have been encouraged and assisted to produce chickens themselves and they have independently created a profitable broiler production – which has added to their income. This aspect could definitely be developed.
The staff manage their own market gardens – and sell all the produce locally. Market gardening is definitely an option although it would be limited by the availability of flat land.
Please note that some of the cages will be dismantled but I have inserted them to show what farming opportunities are possible.

Residential. 3x two bedroomed cottages and a 4th partially completed cottage. The 3 cottages all have tenants with leases. There are prepaid electrical meters in each cottage. The property has been self sustaining for some years now.
While there is little agricultural activity here, this property has been the main source of abundant water on first property – it has a prolific and reliable borehole and the piping allows for direct supply of water to both. Both properties have been run in conjunction as the cottages provide a reliable income.
