CLANWILLIAM / CALVINIA: Winter rainfall farm with scenic views.

This farm is situated a mere 70 kms from Clanwilliam, of which 35 kms is a tarred road over the Pakhuys Pass. The rest of the 15 kms travel distance is a good gravel road.

AGRISELL is fortunate to be able to offer this 2,810-ha farm in the Botterkloof area to potential buyers, under an EXCLUSIVE SOLE MANDATE.

The property consists of 3 adjacent title deeds.

Due to the large mountain slopes and apron veldt, the actual size of the grazable acreage is larger than the actual registered size.

Very few farms come even close to the tranquillity and scenic setting of this property.

This farm is perfect for the production of quality livestock or game. Most of the required infrastructure for a stock farm is already in place.

It offers a diverse typographical outlay of mountains, undulating hills, plateaus, valleys, flat land and dry river that transverse the farm. This supports the diversity of vegetation with patches of grass, shrubs and bushes, and even a fynbos habitat boasting proteas. Due to this balanced habitat, there is a perfect balance in terms of diversity of naturally available food for both browsers and grazers.

The natural vegetation is supplemented by oats planted on the 60-hectares of arable land during winter. Due to large volumes of shrub and dry grass material being available during the dry periods, only additional energy supplements are needed to keep the livestock in good condition. On the plains, the vegetation consists mainly of indigenous, short shrubby succulent plants.

Driving or hiking through this exclusive farm offers an exceptional safari experience.

The farm is sub-divided into 7 inner camps, all supplied with water from one windmill and a perennial fountain.

The farm is located in an area where mainly winter rainfall occur. The long-term average is about 150 – 200 mm per annum.

A 3-bedroom house, with 1 bathroom, a separate toilet, open plan kitchen/dining room as well as a lounge and TV room make for comfortable living. All the buildings are in need of repair and maintenance. There is no Eskom line, but a solar system supplies electricity for household purposes.

Livestock farming infrastructure include a shed, and facilities for handling small stock that are near the homestead. In some sections there is no perimeter fencing but most of the perimeter fencing is jackal-proof.

A steep mountain pass leads to a scenic valley in the Western section of the farm. The pass, as well as all other roads and tracks, are in fairly good repair.

The farm is for sale as a going concern at R4,5 million. The seller is not a VAT vendor.
