Property Description
A ready-to-develop 9.9 hectare property on a busy road, a few kilometres from a commercial hub, with agricultural rights and infrastructure already in place. Its existing improvements and land give a buyer scope to shape it into a training college, a faith-based or community campus, student or worker accommodation, a farming operation, or a combination of these, and the frontage offers passing exposure with easy access for staff, students, suppliers and visitors. The education and office block holds five offices, a boardroom and a training lab, five classrooms accommodating up to 100 students, a reception area, two storerooms and seven toilets, and was previously accredited for agricultural training. A separate church building seats approximately 100 people and includes a church kitchen, carport and garden area. The accommodation block comprises 15 flats for students, staff or tenants, 20 showers and toilets in separate male and female facilities and a large storeroom, with interior finishing still to be completed so that a buyer can customise the units and create a rental income stream. The main farmhouse offers two bedrooms, a lounge, a large kitchen with built-in cupboards, a laundry room and a bathroom, with a front veranda, parking for six to ten cars and mature established gardens, and is ready for a buyer own refresh with repainting and ceiling work to be done. On the farming side there are 7.5 hectares of grazing for cattle, sheep, goats and cows, three fenced camps for small livestock, three boreholes of which one is fully equipped and connected to the farmhouse, municipal water and storage tanks, and electric fencing around the main sections.

Area Description
Grootvlei is a belt of agricultural holdings on the northern edge of Pretoria, within the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality and lying between Akasia, Klerksoord and the Pyramid area. The holdings run from a few hectares upward and typically carry a mix of residential improvements, small-scale farming, light industrial or institutional uses and storage, and the area has seen steady conversion pressure as Pretoria North and the Rosslyn industrial node have expanded toward it. Rosslyn, a few kilometres north-west, is one of South Africa principal automotive manufacturing centres and supports a substantial worker population, which underpins demand for training facilities and rental accommodation of the kind this property is configured for. Netcare Akasia Hospital lies just to the south, with everyday shopping at the Rosslyn centres and the wider Akasia and Pretoria North nodes. The R80 Mabopane Highway, the R566 and Brits Road give access to Pretoria CBD, Akasia, Hammanskraal and the N1 and N4 freeways.
