Spanning 12 hectares, the farm boasts a flourishing olive orchard featuring 6,000 trees irrigated through a gravity-fed system, augmented by state-of-the-art spray and drip systems. The cultivar variety includes Frantoio, Corotina, Leccino, Arbequina, Flavosa FS, Koroneikie, Manzanilla, Mission, and Piqual, promising an abundance of high-quality olives.

Adding a touch of culinary luxury, 2 hectares of the property are dedicated to trees infected with the esteemed Tuber Borchii Truffle fungi, renowned for producing the delicate Bianchetto truffle. These truffle trees are meticulously irrigated, promising a potential harvest that elevates the farm's offerings to a gourmet level.

Water management is at the core of this agricultural haven, with two cement reservoir dams and a natural pond equipped with pumps to ensure efficient irrigation. Embracing sustainable practices, the farm operates entirely off the grid, powered by solar panels, a windmill, and a reliable 18 kW generator. Additionally, three boreholes contribute to the property's water supply, ensuring self-sufficiency and environmental consciousness.

Equipped for modern farming, the property includes essential farm machinery such as a tractor, planter, quad bike, trailer, and a specialized trailer with a tank for liquid fertilizer. A mobile water tank and brush cutters enhance the operational efficiency of the farm, making it a turnkey investment for prospective owners.

Storage is no concern on this expansive property, with two large storage containers offering ample space for equipment and produce. For comfortable living accommodations, two wooden wendy houses, each featuring an open-plan design with an en-suite bathroom, provide a cozy retreat in the midst of nature.

As an exciting opportunity for expansion, an uncompleted A-frame structure sits atop a ground-floor storage area. This structure presents the potential to be renovated into a charming residence, providing a picturesque home overlooking the thriving olive and truffle orchards.

Intricately designed and meticulously maintained, this olive and truffle farm close to Albertinia is more than a property; it's a testament to sustainable farming practices, culinary excellence, and the potential for a serene rural lifestyle.
