This exceptional 450.6-hectare farm, with its high carrying capacity, is ideal for cattle or game breeding, or as a tranquil lifestyle retreat.
Located just 20 km west of Fort Beaufort, off the Whittlesea road near the Baddaford Farm Stall, the property enjoys a prime position close to the Mpofu Game Reserve in the scenic Cromie Mountains, home to abundant wildlife.
Arrieshoek, nestled in a secluded basin at the end of the valley, is surrounded by steep mountains and lush forests, bordering the Fort Fordyce Nature Reserve-a world heritage site.
With no other access roads, this farm offers unparalleled privacy and isolation, while still being easily accessible. The area receives an annual rainfall of 450-500 mm, making it a rare find for nature lovers and farming enthusiasts alike.
