CATTLE FARM FOR SALE

Located approximately 12 km from Badplaas on the tar road to Carolina, this 327-hectare farm is best suited to an established livestock farmer looking to secure additional grazing for seasonal use or as a longer-term extension of an existing operation.

The farm offers good-quality grazing across varied terrain. About 25% of the land lies on higher ground along the mountain slope, giving livestock access to elevated areas during periods of heavy rainfall when lower-lying sections may become wet or difficult to use.

A perennial stream runs through the property for approximately 1.5 km, supported by several natural springs flowing down the mountainside and feeding smaller dams. Domestic water was previously supplied from a spring roughly 300 metres above the homestead.

The property has been unattended, and the four-bedroom, two-bathroom farmhouse has suffered some vandalism and will require repair. It previously operated with solar power and gas and includes a double garage. Buyers should regard the residential improvements as a restoration project rather than part of the farm’s immediate value.

The farm was formerly game fenced and stocked with close to 60 animals from various species. The current condition of the fencing and the number of game remaining have not been confirmed and should be assessed during an inspection.

Near the farmhouse, the stream forms a large natural rock pool with clear spring water. The pool and adjoining stretch of water are suitable for swimming and light paddling, with a braai area situated less than 30 metres from the house.

The main value lies in the extent and quality of the grazing. For livestock farmers who need reserve grazing, want to reduce pressure on their current land, or are planning for future dry periods, this farm offers a substantial additional landholding with dependable natural water sources.
