Situated in the midst of some of Calvinia`s best Sak River farms, this particular 12,237-hectare exciting and excellent economically viable farming enterprise has come available for sale. It is between the towns of Calvinia, Brandvlei and Williston and all necessary infrastructure for livestock and irrigation farming is in place. The fauna and flora are typical of this type of topography and natural vegetation, making this enterprise perfect for natural livestock farming and producing sought-after quality lucerne and wheat. The entire perimeter fencing is jackal-proof and is in good repair. At present the farming operation consists of 800 Merino ewes and 800 Dorper ewes. The riverbanks are covered with trees, thicket, and taller shrubs.The Sak River is seasonal and, with it running through the farm, the carrying capacity is increased substantially. Approximately 700 hectares are arable land, of which 100 hectares are currently planted with lucerne and 300 hectares are planted with wheat. Flood irrigation is used on these sections.Andrew Geddes Bain, Scottish-born geologist and road engineer, lived in South Africa in the 1800s and designed many of the most well-known mountain passes, including Bainskloof Pass on the regional road between Wellington and Ceres in the Western Cape province. The 18-kilometer pass that was constructed with the use of convict labour, was opened in 1854 and is still in use today. Bain owned this historic farm and he developed many of the water structures and canals that are still used for irrigating the huge acreage after good rains in the upstream areas of the Sak River.The farm lends itself to the production of superb quality wool and meat. Ample fresh drinking water for livestock is obtained from 7 windmills, supplying water to 11 reservoirs and 19 throughs. The carrying capacity is 1:38 LSU and the farm can comfortably carry livestock such as sheep, goats, and game.
