A contract for a “lifestyle farm” offers overseas investors a combined investment and residency opportunity. The arrangement provides landowners with a guaranteed annual cash flow while the operating company manages all on‑site activities.
Key features of the offering
- Annual income: Landowners receive more than US $40,000 per year in cash payments.
- Up‑front payment: An initial lump‑sum payment is made at the start of the contract.
- Contract length: Options for three‑year or six‑year agreements.
- Included assets:
- A main house situated near a golf course.
- A large shed that houses a workshop, tractors, and other agricultural machinery.
- Existing black cattle on the property.
Investor responsibilities and benefits
- The operating company assumes responsibility for all farm management, including maintenance of the house, golf course, workshop, and livestock.
- Investors are encouraged to consider residency on the property, turning the investment into a lifestyle choice rather than a purely financial one.
Considerations for potential investors
- Verify the legal framework governing foreign ownership and residency in the host country.
- Assess the risk profile of agricultural income, especially reliance on cattle operations.
- Review the terms of the upfront payment and any conditions tied to the annual cash flow.
This model blends real‑estate ownership, agricultural production, and lifestyle amenities, targeting investors who seek both steady income and the option to live on the property.
