2522 ha Farm in Calvinia

This lovely Karoo-like farm of 2522-hectare is for sale. It is situated conveniently 70 kilometers from Calvinia in the Hantam district, 150 kilometers from Vredendal, and 170 km from Ceres.

The setting is quite magnificent. The topography consists of the southern section of the Roggeveld mountain range with cliffs on the escarpment. The apron veldt slopes down gradually to the vast flat areas. The veldt is in pristine condition, as no commercial livestock production has taken place here during the past 7 years.

There is no building infrastructure on the farm. The new owner will have a blank canvass for building a cottage in one many spots from where one can gaze over the vast vistas.

The farm is divided into 3 camps, and the perimeter fence is jackal-proof. The inner fencing is not in good repair. The fencing along the private road, which crosses a small section of the acreage, is not jackal-proof. Water is obtained from 3 boreholes and 2 fountains, all contributing to sufficient water supply. The windmills are not in good repair.

This relatively small stock farm is located in a sought-after area which is well known for its good quality meat and wool production. The habitat is also excellently suited for turning this into a potential game farm, with guest accommodation overlooking the vast Karoo.

Due to a perennial fountain, small antelope like Duikers, Klipspringer, Steenbuck and the occasional Kudu and Oryx survive here and roam the area.

From up in the apron areas one can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, observe the stars, while breathing in fresh air. This is big sky country!

The Cape region has many mountains that offer challenging hiking trails and rocky areas that is a mecca for rock climbing. This farm is a good base to start from, since it boasts unique pinnacles on the southern side of the mountain.

For sale at R3,150,000.00, excluding VAT. If the farm is bought by a VAT registered entity, it is possible for the sale to be a zero-rated transaction, with no VAT actually being paid.
