The Karoo Style main farmhouse dates from the previous century and has 4 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms, spacious kitchen with lots of work-space, huge lounge/living area with built in braai. The long and inviting veranda with splash pool, braai area and Jacuzzi, really entertainment made easy. The main house is currently rented out on Airbnb. An attached but separate flatlet with entrance from the veranda can be utilised for more guests and family.
Other buildings are three labourers’ cottages, not inhabited, and in need of repair. These cottages are situated amongst large trees with beautiful views and can be renovated for additional tourist accommodation. The farm is situated very close to the ever so popular Route 62 Tourist route, ending up at the Garden Route, so tourism is definitely an option.
The farming capabilities of this unique farm is impressive, with more than 2.5Ha prime arable land already under permanent irrigation, roughly 10Ha more arable land that can be put under irrigation, not to mention at least 50Ha more planted with dry-land cultivars. What more can a Sheep-Lover hope for? Three separate sheep handling facilities (two undercover) make Sheep Farming a pleasure and management easy.
Water is supplied from three good boreholes, one serviced with an electric submersible pump, one serviced with a pump driven by a petrol generator, and one borehole is not serviced. Two mountain streams run through the farm, which can be used for animals to drink from.
A big barn is situated on the dry-land area, away from the farmhouse and can be used to keep animals, winter food for the animals or implements.
No rentals, no life-rights, no land claims and no squatters on this property which can be transferred as an uninhabited entity, with no humans living on it!
