SOLE MANDATEPLEASE TAKE NOTE: This farm has been rented from 1 July 2023 but it is still for sale. Situated adjacent to the Tankwa National Park this 1,527-hectare farm is a place where you can enjoy tranquillity, be enveloped in nature, and truly relax!It is not a typical Karoo winter rainfall farm, because 440-hectares are of deep alluvial soil on the banks of the Tankwa river which flows after good rains, and traverses the farm. The location from Ceres is 35 kms of tarred road as well as a mere 133 kms of gravel road; or 90 kms from Sutherland. The farm is set in a beautiful location with unparalleled, sweeping views of the faraway, surrounding mountains, hills close by, and the lush river ticket bush veldt. There is a large earth dam as well as a concrete weir in the river. Large mature trees give a special ambiance to the farm. Kudu`s thrive in this habitat. Accommodation consists of a main house, a second homestead, 2 typical Karoo style buildings used as storage, as well as 2 labourer cottages. An outside braai from where the unique ambiance of the farm can be experienced, adds to the comfortable rural lifestyle. All buildings need repair.The entire perimeter of the farm is equipped with good fencing. The section bordering on the Tankwa National Park is a new erected game fence. The carrying capacity is about 1:7,5 SSU or 200 small stock. The 4 boreholes fitted with 3 solar pumps provide adequate water for livestock.Due to the ambiance, topography, variety of vegetation and isolated location, it can easily be converted into an idyllic game farm or used as is, farming with boer goats, sheep or cattle. For the price of R3,500,000.00 the purchaser will be the proud owner of this picturesque landscape!Property Reference #: CL528Agent Details:Jannie FourieAgrisell PTY Ltd9A Kerk StreetPiketberg7320
