Asking price R29 500 000.00.
Conveniently situated on the plains in the Graaff Reinet district which is generally regarded as the main centre of the great Karoo. Some of the top Mohair producers are situated in the Graaff Reinet district and the annual Angora heritage auction takes place on a close by farm. With ±12km of Sundays River there is lots of soft river veld and the balance consists of good Karoo/grass flats with shrubs. This easy to manage farm is the ideal for Angora goat farming and also to bring in cattle to utilise the surplus grass without affecting your Angora goat numbers. Sheep will also do very well on the farm.
The property is divided into ±20 camps all with water from Boreholes fitted with windmills and or solar pumps. A number of ground dams adds additional water. 5 sets of kraals placed strategically through the farm allows for easy management and control of stock.
With 21 boreholes and a large earth dam the farm has 54ha registered water rights. 27ha centre pivot, 3ha permaset and the the remainder flood irrigation not currently being utilised. Great potential for additional centre pivots and or other irrigation systems. This adds great value to the farm and enhances the carrying capacity considerable. During drier spells the owner can utilise the boreholes for irrigation therefore enabling production during the dry spells. With feedlot facilities this allows the farmer to market his stock by rounding them off through the feedlot system.
The traditional house has been modernised with all modern facilities without losing the character and feeling of the historical value, situated in a lush garden with vegetable patch.
