82 ha LIFE STYLE FARM FOR SALE
This interesting LIFE STYLE farm is situated on a beautiful rolling landscape with the far away Outeniqua mountain rage as backdrop. Its location is in the Southern Cape in the Herbertsdale area, just across from the famous Gondwana Private Game Reserve.
For many years this farm had not been farmed at all. The current owner, running it as a Life Style Farm already keeps around 30 cattle and has done much in terms of developing and improving the farm by:
• restoring the fences,
• creating two-spoor farm tracks roads making the farm far more accessible,
• clearing fire breaks next to most of the fences,
• starting to plough more areas to promote the growing of feeding grass/plants for the cattle.
• building a nice new store,
• cleverly redesigning the kraal so that practically one person can ‘work’ the cattle or load them on a truck.
This is possibly the right spot for someone who:
• would love living out in the country, in a peaceful and quite place
• who would love to further develop the farm and undertake self-sustaining farming/living and
• even, if he so desires, run a bit of a tourism accommodation business (see comment in the last paragraph).
The farm’s capacity for keeping more than 25 cattle is possible to extent the farm will be further developed to provide additional feeding
The farm is split into 4 main camps and there are 4 ground dams with much water. Many water tanks have been added to harvest rain water.
Three spots have been identified as suitable for drilling for water, and one of them is expected to be quite strong. (Reports are available to back this up.)
Apart from farming with cattle and/or sheep and adding a vegetable patch with some fruit trees, there is also the possibility of adding a main house as well as a number of clamping units (glamorous camping). According to the owner the municipality has indicated that this will be allowed, but currently we are waiting for a formal acknowledgment.
If this seems to meet your requirements, please give me a call for more information and a visit.
