Stunning farm on top of the world!

Stunning farm of 528 hectares for sale outside Ficksburg in the beautiful Eastern Free State highlands. Own a piece of paradise. Hidden in amd on top of the mountain with a mild climate during summer, this is the perfect place to practise regenerative farming and hide from the effects of climate change and any pandemics. It is the most remote farm in the district and very private and safe. All the water sources originate on the farm and is therefore unpolluted. Many towering sandstone cliffs, springs and perennial and seasonal streams are found on the farm. A waterfall drops into a deep wooded gorge. Two dams offer area shelter to an abundance of bird life. Additional dams could easily be build in the watercourses. During normal rainfall years the farm receives an above average rainfall of 700 mm or more. The climate is mild during the warm months and we usually receive some snow during winter. This is a low maintenance farm and is suitable for either a full time farmer or a lifestyle farmer just looking for an incredible weekend and holiday retreat or a piece of heaven for retirement. The previous owner used it as a weekend and holiday lifestyle farm for 25 years. There are numerous beautiful spots where additional accommodation could be build. There is also a dolerite “gravel line” that runs through the farm which could be used for building purposes, brick-making and roadworks on the farm. The basalt rock formation above the sandstone rock formation could be used for the same purpose. Trees for firewood, fence poles or timber for own use are also in abundance.
