3939 ha Farm in Upington

Well-looked-after Kalahari farm of 3,936 hectares for sale.

This property is situated approximately 70 km from Upington on the N10 between Upington and Nakop Border post. The property is well looked after, with fencing in good condition. The farm is jackal-proofed along its borders and subdivided into two big jackal-proofed blocks. These blocks make predator control effective and controllable. The blocks are divided into 14 smaller camps and two sheep-handling facilities for practical livestock farming and production. The property has an LSU of 1:36 and is especially suited for goat and sheep farming. The farm has a 70/30 distribution of harder/softer veld. The front 70% is harder veld with mixed grasses and different kinds of bushes associated with the area. The front part has harder soil, making it especially suited for small livestock. Moving southbound, the veld/soil turns softer with rocky hills and sandy pastures. This area can be utilized for effective cattle farming together with sheep or goats. The scenery in this area is breathtaking while driving on the sandy road and cutting through the rocky hills. Do not be surprised by the odd roaming Kudu that suddenly appears and disappears gracefully again between the Blackthorns and Camelthorn trees and the rocky hills. Water is supplied by five boreholes (three windmills, one solar pump, and one unused) and stored in two dams and eight plastic tanks (5,000 L and 10,000 L). A pipeline (class 6 plastic piping) distributes water of about 4 km between the camps evenly.

The property has a farmhouse in satisfactory condition with two sheds and sheep handling facilities. There is no Eskom power, but solar power will be an option (not installed). The gravel road towards Kakamas cuts through the farm.

This property is ideal for someone looking for a smaller piece of land to start a farming opportunity or expand. This property can be bought on its own or combined with the neighboring farms belonging to the same seller. No animals are included in the sale, making it a VAT transaction. VAT will be added to the price.
