Farm For Sale in Groblershoop

Property description

Nestled within the expansive and captivating Kalahari region, this exceptional agricultural property offers a unique opportunity for both commercial farming and recreational enjoyment. The Kalahari is renowned for its stunning landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and rich tapestry of flora and fauna. This prime farm consists of two title deeds sold as one cohesive entity, encompassing 2,597 hectares of fertile land.

Conveniently located along the N8 highway between Groblershoop and Griekwastad in the Northern Cape, this farm is approximately 60 kilometers from Groblershoop, making it accessible yet privately secluded. The property is divided by the N8 into two nearly equal blocks, each offering unique features and characteristics.
The northern section of the farm boasts beautiful, softer soil and is in proximity to the majestic Langeberg mountain range. This striking area is adorned with an abundance of Camel thorn trees, Grey Camel thorns, Shepherd trees, and a diverse variety of grasses that thrive across the Kalahari terrain. With its rugged mountain landscape and breathtaking panoramic views, this northern portion provides an ideal habitat for game, creating a picturesque setting for nature enthusiasts.
In contrast, the southern part of the farm features a combination of harder terrain along with softer sandy areas. An essential feature of the property is the “Soutloop River,” which traverses both sections. Although this non-perennial river seldom flows—having last seen water in 1988—it showcases a riverbed rich in trees, harkening back to its more lively past.

Infrastructure Highlights:
• Water Supply: The farm is well-equipped with 15 smaller camps, all boasting water troughs; only one small area of about 30 hectares lacks this feature. For livestock management, there are three sheep-handling facilities and a cattle handling and loading facility conveniently located for livestock transport. Water is supplied by four boreholes, two of which are particularly robust, with depths ranging from 11m to 60m. The water pumping system is state-of-the-art, utilizing two windmills and three solar pumps, with specifications available upon request. Water storage solutions include eight plastic tanks and two dams.
• Fencing and Security: To ensure effective predator control, 80% of the farm is secured with electrified fencing, providing peace of mind for livestock farming.
Current Farming Activities: The current livestock distribution on the farm includes 25% cattle, 10% goats, and a significant 65% sheep, making it an active and productive farming venture.
Conclusion: This well-maintained farm has been cherished by the same family for many years, and while it does not have a residential structure, it presents a plethora of possibilities for building a new home or renovating the existing ruins. This property is ideal for prospective commercial farmers, hobbyists seeking a weekend retreat, or those looking to establish a small game farm.

Additionally, with ample opportunities for 4x4 driving, hiking, and hunting, this farm promises a lifestyle enriched by nature, where kudus roam freely across the land.
The property is available for purchase as a going concern, with the potential inclusion of negotiable livestock. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to invest in a piece of the Kalahari that blends agricultural potential with natural beauty.
