2 597 ha Farm in Griekwastad

Situated in the vast and scenic Kalahari region, this exceptional agricultural property presents a rare opportunity to combine productive farming with a rewarding outdoor lifestyle. Renowned for its striking landscapes, resilient ecosystems, and diverse flora and fauna, the Kalahari offers an authentic and sought-after farming environment.

The property consists of two title deeds sold as one unit, totaling approximately 2,597 hectares LSU 1:18. Ideally positioned along the N8 highway between Groblershoop and Griekwastad, the farm lies about 60 km from Groblershoop, offering convenient access while maintaining a strong sense of privacy and seclusion.

The N8 divides the farm into two near-equal sections, each with its own distinct character.

The northern portion features softer soils and lies close to the impressive Langeberg mountain range. This area is richly vegetated with Camel Thorn, Grey Camel Thorn, Shepherd trees, and a variety of Kalahari grasses. The rugged terrain and sweeping mountain views create an ideal habitat for game and add to the farms natural appeal.

The southern section comprises a mix of harder terrain and sandy soils, well suited to extensive livestock farming. The non-perennial Soutloop River runs through both sections of the farm. Although it last flowed in 1988, the established riverbed supports mature trees, adding character and ecological value to the land.
