HOPETOWN: Idyllic potential game reserve

This 3,664-hectare farm is situated amidst various game and livestock farms.

The area is isolated, tranquil, safe, and secure. It is situated between Hopetown, Prieska and Strydenburg, and is quite different from what one would expect from this part of the Northern Cape.

Access is via well-surfaced gravel roads.

The topography is a mix between vast flat areas and plateaus. The eastern side boasts scenic dolerite hills that complement this beautiful farm. The soil varies from deep sandy areas to lime and lower- lying pans.

The vegetation includes a wide variety of trees including Camel Thorn (Acacia erioloba - Kameeldoring), Umbrella thorn (Acacia tortilis - Haak-en-Steek), Sheperd's tree (Boscia albitrunca - Matopi or Witgat) and even Pepper trees (Schinus Molle - Peperboom). Shrubs are mainly Three-thorn (Rhigozum trichotomum burch - Driedoring), Brittle thorn (P.spinosum - Brosdoring) and Box-thorn (Lycium ferocissemum - Krie doring), giving protection to the various grass species. Quality grasses are in abundance and flourish in the sandy and hilly areas.

The farm consists of 2 adjacent title deeds and can be farmed as a unit. Various game species do well in this typical Karoo Savanna habitat. If the inner fencing is removed, the total acreage will be ideal for various game species. Most of the perimeter is game proof fenced.

There is no building infrastructure except a dilapidated house. Starting with a blank canvas, the buyer can design and build the ideal farmhouse to enjoy nature at its best. Only perimeter fencing, in good repair, exists and newly graded roads stretch to even the furthest end of the farm.

Boreholes supply water for livestock. Rainfall varies between 250mm and 300mm per annum. Several earth dams are filled with runoff water after heavy rainfall.

It is not often that a farm of this extent and potential is offered for sale in this prestigious part of the Northern Cape.

This is a unique nature farm that has enormous potential for any buyer who is passionate about the Karoo region, to develop it into an idyllic game and nature hideaway.

For sale at R11,000,000.00 excluding VAT. If the purchaser is a VAT vendor, the transaction can be structured as a 0% VAT going concern.
