Property Description
A 2 702m² Business 2 site on Voortrekker Street in Porterville, carrying purpose-built structures typically associated with a filling station. A centrally positioned forecourt canopy covers two pump islands with capacity for up to six pumps; no pumps, tanks or filling-station equipment remain on site, as all have been removed. The main building fronts onto the street and accommodates two tenants, a small takeaway shop and a vehicle dealership which occupies the majority of the building. Within the dealership portion are three offices and one bathroom, each office fitted with split-unit air-conditioning and opening directly into the showroom, and the showroom features a large steel sliding door giving access to the yard. A secondary building at the rear faces onto the yard and is accessed by the driveway leading from the forecourt; it is used as a mechanic workshop and includes a small office with its own storage area and split-unit air-conditioning, has been fitted to the tenant specifications and features six large wooden sliding doors, with a total area of approximately 265 m2. Adjacent to the workshop are two smaller garage spaces, one fitted with two metal swing doors and another with a metal security gate currently used as a car wash, and the eastern side of this building contains a small residential component comprising a living area, bedroom and bathroom. The yard includes two large awnings providing covered parking for nine vehicles, an ablution block with male and female toilets, and a small storage room in the south-eastern corner of the property.

Area Description
Porterville is a country town on the eastern edge of the Swartland in the Western Cape, lying at the foot of the Olifants River Mountains within the Bergrivier Local Municipality and the West Coast District. It serves a substantial agricultural district built on wheat, citrus, deciduous fruit and livestock, and the town functions as the commercial and service centre for the surrounding farms. Voortrekker Street is the main street and carries the town retail and commercial activity, with SPAR, OK Foods, Usave and a range of smaller traders operating along it, and the Bergrivier Municipality offices and Lapamunnik Hospital both within a few hundred metres. Schooling is provided by Laerskool Porterville, Porterville High School and Willems Vallei Primary. The R44 runs through the town, linking it to Piketberg and the N7 to the west and to Tulbagh, Ceres and Wellington to the south, and the town is a well-known base for paragliding and hiking in the Olifants River Mountains.
