Property description

Situated to the east of the R360, leading towards Askham/Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park from Upington, lies this remarkable property spanning 12,001 hectares (LSU 1:20). Nestled in the heart of the Kalahari, renowned for its expansive grass pastures and undulating sandy dunes, this land offers a rare opportunity for discerning investors.

Divided into 26 well-appointed camps following a practical 4-camp system, this property, distinguished by its blue marking on the map, boasts easy accessibility, being merely 5 kilometers from the main road.

Fencing along the property boundaries is meticulously maintained, with three sides fortified against jackals and one side designed to withstand stock incursion.

Completing the ensemble is a modest homestead comprising a quaint yet restorable small house and a spacious storage facility boasting dimensions of 20 by 15 meters, with a durable cement floor, ideal for accommodating storage needs.

Offered as a going concern, this property presents an enticing investment opportunity, with the option to acquire it alongside two neighboring farms from the same seller, ensuring a seamless transition into ownership of this pristine piece of Kalahari paradise.
