Situated in the vast and scenic Kalahari region, this exceptional agricultural property presents a rare opportunity to combine productive farming with a rewarding outdoor lifestyle. Renowned for its striking landscapes, resilient ecosystems, and diverse flora and fauna, the Kalahari offers an authentic and sought-after farming environment.

The property consists of two title deeds sold as one unit, totaling approximately 2,597 hectares (LSU 1:18). Ideally positioned along the N8 highway between Groblershoop and Griekwastad, the farm lies about 60 km from Groblershoop, offering convenient access while maintaining a strong sense of privacy and seclusion.

The N8 divides the farm into two near-equal sections, each with its own distinct character.

The northern portion features softer soils and lies close to the impressive Langeberg mountain range. This area is richly vegetated with Camel Thorn, Grey Camel Thorn, Shepherd trees, and a variety of Kalahari grasses. The rugged terrain and sweeping mountain views create an ideal habitat for game and add to the farm’s natural appeal.

The southern section comprises a mix of harder terrain and sandy soils, well suited to extensive livestock farming. The non-perennial Soutloop River runs through both sections of the farm. Although it last flowed in 1988, the established riverbed supports mature trees, adding character and ecological value to the land.

Infrastructure and Improvements

Water Supply:

The farm is divided into 15 smaller camps, all fitted with water troughs, except for approximately 30 hectares. Water is supplied by four boreholes, with depths ranging from 11 m to 60 m, two of which are particularly strong. The pumping system includes two windmills and three solar pumps. Water storage is provided by eight plastic tanks and two dams.

Handling Facilities:

Three sheep-handling facilities and a cattle handling and loading facility are strategically positioned for efficient livestock management.

Fencing and Security:

Approximately 80% of the farm is enclosed with electrified fencing, offering effective predator control and added security.

Current Farming Operation

The farm is actively farmed and currently carries a livestock composition of approximately 65% sheep, 25% cattle, and 10% goats, making it a well-balanced and productive operation.

Conclusion

Owned and carefully managed by the same family for many years, this well-maintained property offers exceptional potential. While there is no existing residence, there is ample opportunity to build a new home or restore the old ruins. The farm is ideally suited to commercial farming, lifestyle or weekend farming, or the development of a small game operation.

With opportunities for 4x4 driving, hiking, hunting, and immersive nature experiences—where kudu and other wildlife roam freely—this property offers a truly authentic Kalahari lifestyle. The farm is available as a going concern, with livestock negotiable.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Kalahari farm that combines solid agricultural infrastructure with outstanding natural beauty.
