An unparalleled opportunity to acquire a fully operational and highly productive farm in Chisamba! This expansive 2,500-hectare property boasts direct frontage on the Great North Road, offering excellent accessibility and visibility.

Property Overview
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a large-scale, diversified agricultural enterprise with significant development potential. The farm is well-equipped for both crop production and livestock, alongside an established hospitality component.
Key Features
Land & Location:
- Size: 2,500 Hectares (approximately 6,177 acres) – a substantial landholding.
- Prime Location: Direct Great North Road frontage, ensuring excellent accessibility and strategic positioning for both agricultural logistics and potential commercial ventures (e.g., roadside sales, lodge visibility).
- Cleared Land: Significant portions of the land are already cleared for farming wheat and soya beans, indicating readiness for immediate crop production. Chisamba is known to be suitable for these crops, with good rainfall in Region II (800-1000mm annually) and ideal soil pH (5.5-7) for soybeans.
Agricultural Infrastructure & Assets:
- Centre Pivot Irrigation: A vital asset for large-scale crop production, providing efficient and consistent water supply, crucial for high yields, especially for crops like wheat and soya beans. New center pivots can cost tens of thousands of USD depending on size and specifications, making this an invaluable inclusion.
- Tractor and Other Machinery: The sale includes essential tractor and other farm machinery, allowing for immediate continuation of farming operations without the need for significant initial capital outlay on equipment. This could include ploughs, planters, cultivators, sprayers, and harvesting equipment, which are substantial investments in themselves.
- Livestock: A herd of 300 cattle is part of the sale, providing an immediate income stream from beef or dairy production. Local breeds typically range from ZMW 1,500 to ZMW 3,000 per head, while exotic breeds can start from ZMW 4,000 and go up to ZMW 8,000 or more.
Hospitality Component:
- Functional Lodge: The property includes a functional lodge, offering an additional revenue stream through tourism or accommodation services. This could cater to tourists, business travelers, or even farm visitors.
Investment Potential
This farm presents a robust investment opportunity due to:
- Diversified Income Streams: Revenue from crop farming (wheat, soya beans), livestock, and hospitality (lodge).
- Scalability: The large land size offers potential for expansion of existing operations or diversification into other agricultural ventures.
- Strategic Location: Great North Road frontage enhances commercial viability and market access.
- Existing Infrastructure: Significant capital assets like the centre pivot, machinery, and existing cleared land reduce initial setup costs for a new owner.
Price
- Asking Price: $14,000,000 (US Dollars) – Negotiable
