Karoo Farm of Note
This 8,697-hectare majestic property is a game, sheep or cattle farm, consisting of 5 title deeds. It is a well-developed typical extensive Karoo farm with the current owner using the land for grazing of his cattle.
The farm is situated next to the N1, a good gravel road allows for easy access to the farm. There are 2 access roads to the farm. The one entry is on the N1, 63 kilometers from Laingsburg in the Beaufort West direction (14km gravel road). The other entry is on the R407, 25 kilometers from Prince Albert in the direction of the N1(25km on gravel road). On this gravel road you will start to experience the open plains of the Karoo with the seasonal riverbeds criss-crossing the plains. Be aware of the kudus, on these open plains and in the riverbeds these majestic animals roam freely.
All necessary infrastructure to support a farm of this size and nature, as a livestock or game farming operation, is in place. The farm is sub-divided into various inner camps, all the camps have boreholes and reservoirs for drinking water. All the camps have access to a kraal for working the animals. The farm is duly jackal-proof fenced. A network of good roads takes you to the furthest outposts of the farm.
This farming enterprise offers a diverse typographical layout of undulating hills, plateaus, valleys, and flat land. Dry riverbeds transverse through the farm with some of the rivers flowing strongly after normal rainfall. This supports the diversity of vegetation with patches of grass, shrubs, bushes with denser riverine thicket and trees along the banks of the dry rivers. Due to this balanced habitat system, there is a perfect balance in terms of a diversity of naturally available food for both browsers and grazers. Kudu heaven!
There is a rich ecosystem where game species can roam freely on the farm while one can enjoy the prolific natural scenes in this untamed wilderness. Feel at one with the serene surroundings. Here tranquillity soothes the soul.
Driving or hiking through this extensive Karoo farm offers an exceptional experience. Exciting game drives is an option in an open vehicle allowing unobstructed views of the plains. Sheep, game and cattle thrives in this area and breeding exceeds all expectations in this disease-free area.
In addition to the open plains, this farm has an exceptional nocturnal life, the sounds of which add to the peaceful atmosphere. The Dwyka river forms part of the easterly border of the farm, with a stretch of 4 kilometers running through the farm. A give and take arrangement is in place with regards to the use of the river. Several seasonal water courses run over the farm namely: Jakkals- and Kerksriver.
Furthermore, there are the possibility to establish some lucerne. The boreholes for irrigation have been tested and can be provided on request.
