SMALLHOLDINGS
Tired of city life, but need to
be near the city, good hospitals, schools, airports and shopping
centres ? Then a smallholding can just be the answer to
your question. Living on a smallholding can provide you with the
tranquility of living in the countryside, seeing the beauty of the stars
at night, living close to nature, but still be near the amenities we
need everyday.
What is a smallholding ? A
smallholding is a small farm on which the smallholder lives and
on which fruit and vegetables can be grown and livestock bred, if
desired by the smallholder. Some people obtain a smallholding just to
get away from city life but to be near the city. Smallholdings
and country style living have become increasingly popular all over the
country.

Why should you raise your
children on a smallholding ? Because a smallholding is larger than a
plot in a residential area, they have a bigger area in which they can
play. When living on a residential area stand there is often not enough
space available for children to for instance, ride with their bicycles,
have a trampoline, or a swimming pool or tennis court. For all of
these there are ample space on a smallholding. Your children need not
to go to the streets, thereby avoiding being run down by a motorcar if
they ride around on bicycles, and also protecting them from other
dangers lurking in the city.
If you are a pet or animal
lover, a smallholding would also be ideal for you, because
you can keep as many animals and birds on the smallholding as you wish.
Cages can be built on the smallholding, if you want to breed birds, and
if you are a cat or puppy breeder, this is the ideal place to breed
with these animals. In short, living on a smallholding can be
very profitable.
Smallholdings are
also ideal to run a business from, because of the availability of
space. Offices can be built on the smallholding, workshops can be
fitted, thereby saving you money that you had to pay if you had to rent
a workshop or offices in town or in an industrial area. Your workers can
also be accommodated on your smallholding.
Various types of businesses can
also be run from a smallholding like a nursery. There is usually a
borehole or alternative water sources available on smallholdings,
making the owner independent of municipal water, not only for the
business but also for household use.
You also find that when people
retire, they are looking for more than just a retirement village. They
are looking for a place where they can still be active, but not far from
their families. A smallholding is the ideal place, especially when they
are outdoor people
