An Extensive Livestock Farm with Excellent Infrastructure and Natural Grazing
6,974.42 ha | 22 Camps | 6 Boreholes | 4 Fenced Blocks | LSU 1:28
Situated in the agricultural region between Upington, Groblershoop and Kenhardt, this extensive livestock farm offers an excellent opportunity to establish or expand a farming operation in the Northern Cape. The region is well known for its extensive sheep-farming operations, particularly Dorper and Meatmaster production, making it an ideal area for farmers who appreciate natural grazing, open spaces and the tranquility of country living.
With predominantly softer red sandy soils, natural arid grassland vegetation and established farming infrastructure, the property offers a solid foundation for a commercial livestock operation. The farm measures 6,974.42 hectares under one title deed, with an indicated grazing capacity of approximately 1 LSU per 28 hectares.
FARM SIZE AND CAMP DIVISION
The farm is subdivided into 22 smaller camps, all with access to water. This layout allows for effective grazing management and rotational grazing.
WATER SUPPLY
Water is supplied by six boreholes, ranging between approximately 30 and 80 meters in depth. Water is distributed and stored in dams and tanks throughout the farm. In addition, three earthen dams collect and store rainwater during the rainy season, providing supplementary water storage.
VEGETATION AND GRAZING
The property falls predominantly within the Bushmanland Arid Grassland vegetation type, with sections of Lower Gariep Broken Veld and Gordonia Duneveld. The natural vegetation consists mainly of softer red sandy soils, thorny shrubs, succulents and a variety of indigenous grasses. These conditions are well suited to extensive sheep farming, particularly Dorper and Meatmaster production. The indicated grazing capacity is approximately 1 LSU per 28 hectares.
FENCING AND FARMING FACILITIES
The farm's fencing is in satisfactory condition, with jackal-proof perimeter fencing and electrified fencing along one boundary by the neighboring property. Internal jackal-proof fencing divides the property into three separate blocks on the eastern side, with an additional fourth block on the western side, separated by a public gravel road. This effectively provides four independently managed blocks for grazing management and predator control.
Additional livestock infrastructure includes two cattle working facilities (krale) and one dedicated sheep-handling facility (kraal), providing practical facilities for day-to-day livestock handling and management.
CAMPING FACILITY
The property features a dedicated camping facility accommodating up to eight people, with sleeping quarters, a bathroom and kitchen. Ideal for glamour camping, it offers a comfortable and authentic countryside experience in a peaceful farm environment.
FARM BUILDINGS AND ACCOMMODATION
A substantial building of approximately 280 m² serves as the main residence and working farm facility.
The residential section offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open-plan living and kitchen area. The remainder of the building comprises a garage, storage facilities and a small slaughtering facility.
HORSE FACILITIES
For horse enthusiasts, the farm also offers three horse stables, a feed storage area, a tack room and two horse training rings.
AN EXCELLENT FARMING OPPORTUNITY
Combining extensive natural grazing, established water infrastructure, practical camp divisions and well-developed livestock facilities, this property offers an attractive opportunity for the serious livestock farmer. Whether you are looking to expand an existing operation or relocate to the Upington region to establish a new venture, this farm offers the space, infrastructure and natural resources to develop a productive Dorper or Meatmaster sheep-farming enterprise in the Northern Cape.
