Exceptional Aquaculture & Agricultural Investment with Abattoir

This property has a fully operational Abattoir!!
This highly specialised and exceptionally well-developed aquaculture and agricultural property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a large-scale, income-generating operation with substantial infrastructure already in place.
Situated in the sought-after Wartburg/Crammond region, the farm has been purpose-built for intensive aquaculture production and offers extensive facilities suited to fish farming, livestock processing, agriculture and broader agri-business applications.
The primary farm extends over approximately 25 hectares and features an impressive network of 85 open water dams, approximately half of which are lined, all operating as part of an efficient free-flow water system. Originally developed for crocodile farming, the infrastructure has been successfully adapted for catfish production, with the area’s favourable climate supporting year-round operations.
The farm is ideally suited to Tilapia and Catfish production, with Tilapia capable of being farmed in open dams for up to nine months annually. Dedicated indoor overwintering facilities with heated systems allow for continuous hatchery and rearing operations throughout the colder months, enabling uninterrupted 12-month production capacity.
A sophisticated scorpion tail effluent management system was specifically designed to filter and purify all water passing through the farm from the highest to the lowest point, allowing for efficient recycling and re-use throughout the operation.
Further enhancing the facility is a multi-span environmental greenhouse, converted into a fully automated, high-spec hatchery and grow-out station for Tilapia and Catfish production. The operation has also recently introduced Pangasius (Vietnamese) broodstock, a globally recognised and highly marketable fish species.
Current infrastructure supports production in excess of 600 tons of fish per annum, with industry experts indicating that output could potentially increase to approximately 1,000 tons annually with further upgrades and backup systems.
Residential improvements are extensive and include:
• 1 large, quality management home
• 2 additional well appointed homes/cottages
• 3 staff cottages
• plus further staff accommodation
Of particular significance is the property’s fully functional temperature-controlled abattoir, originally constructed and certified to meet export standards for crocodile meat processing. In recent years, the facility has been utilised for processing fish, pork, chicken, beef and other fresh produce products, making it an exceptionally versatile commercial asset.
Additional infrastructure includes:
• Large workshops
• Large sheds
• Refrigerated cold storage and blast freezing facilities with capacity for approximately 100 tons of product
An added advantage is the opportunity to acquire the two adjoining farms, each measuring approximately 21 hectares, as part of a bundled purchase. This would significantly expand the overall operation and includes additional improvements such as:
• A timber yard
• Three additional homes
• Extensive workshop and warehouse facilities
• Office space
• Additional operational and expansion potential
This unique offering presents exceptional opportunities for aquaculture expansion, diversified farming operations, food processing, agri-industrial ventures or export-focused production.
A truly rare opportunity to acquire one of the region’s most comprehensively developed aquaculture facilities.
