Description

A Private Wildlife Estate in the Heart of South Africa's Western Cape

This farm presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial private wildlife estate spanning 6,290.75 hectares across
nine title deeds..
 

Bordered by the renowned Garden Route to the south and the Little Karoo to the north, the estate combines rugged mountain
terrain, open valleys, river systems and indigenous vegetation to create an exceptional habitat for a wide variety of wildlife.
 

The accommodation units have been designed for comfortable, independent living in the African wilderness. The off-grid system
includes:
  

  • Lux 5 kW inverter 
  • 14.3 kVA SolarEdge battery system 
  • 7 kW photovoltaic solar panels 

The accommodation comprises: 

Central open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge 

Traditional outdoor boma for entertaining

Two separate guest units, each offering two en-suite bedrooms 

A well-built original farmhouse with renovation potential for additional guest accommodation or a manager's

managed hunting safaris, including selected trophy animals where legally permitted.
 

The estate encompasses a remarkable variety of landscapes, from succulent Karoo plains to mountain fynbos and riverine
woodland. The Gouritz River forms part of the property's boundary, and the Kamma River, which also borders the farm, flows into the Gouritz river, providing natural beauty, valuable water resources and opportunity for river front housing.

Annual rainfall averages 200-220 mm per annum, supplemented by numerous boreholes, two dams and natural fountains that provide reliable permanent water. One of the springs has produced a constant flow of 12,000 liters per hour for the last 15 years. 

Underground water resources also offer excellent potential for future irrigation and agricultural expansion. 20 ha under permanent sprinklers and 48 ha with movable pipes.
