RICHMOND / VICTORIA WES: Above average and well-established Karoo farm

This truly remarkable 12,787-hectare typical Karoo farm lies in a sought-after area which is well known for its good quality meat and wool. It is a fact that this farm produces excellent Merino wool and heavy weaners. The farm consists of 2 title deeds.

Topography and vegetation is diverse and this well-established fully operational farm is known as an above average livestock unit. Very good high-quality river veld with two large concrete weirs. This is an excellent drought reserve and add to the value of this unique farm.

Furthermore, it is secluded with no public road passing the farm. The main farmhouse; overlooking the vast Karoo with its breath-taking views from its lush garden. It is spacious and in excellent repair.

The entire farm is equipped with jackal- proof fencing and there are 38 inner-camps. All fencing is excellent and in good repair. The windmills supply an abundance of drinking water to the water troughs in each camp.

The large shearing shed, double garage, store rooms and flat, outbuildings and 2 labourer's cottages as well as shearer accommodation are all in good repair.

Vegetation is sweet mixed veldt, with a variety of shrubs or "gannas" as well as several grass species. This farm is well known for its larger and higher body mass lamb carcasses and high lambing percentage due to the large areas of fertile, high quality "leegtes".

The carrying capacity is 1:24 LSU or 3,196 small stock, but due to the many years of stocking the farm with less than the carrying capacity norm of the region, the density and variety of quality Karoo shrubs and grasses are visible and add value to the farm. The average rainfall is mostly during the summer but winter rainfall is very beneficial.

If needed, there is a strong water supply to irrigate a couple of hectares. This is a great asset and with a well-designed irrigation system could be further developed to produce fodder.

This is a perfect place to settle and enjoy the benefits of a true upper Karoo farm.

This excellent acreage of land remains exclusive to most.

For the amount of R38,361,000.00 excluding VAT this farm could be yours. The seller is a VAT vendor and if the buyer is also a VAT vendor this sale could be a 0% VAT transaction.

The existing sheep on the farm are not included in the price, but excellent quality Merino ewes are available at additional costs.
