Tannies. A 3242,3977 ha (7 titles) stock farm bordering the Northern section of the Addo National Park Near Waterford. This property does not adjoin the R400 so it is ideally located, 86km from Somerset East and 25km (dirt) to the R75 and about 45km from Jansenville.
The property is divided into 16 Camps, all watered by means of boreholes (12 boreholes, of which 9 are active ). Three solar panels are utilized to pump water on a rotational basis (1 solar pump belongs to the farm and 2 belong to the tenant). There are 4 active windmills and the property has over 4kms of the Sundays River running throughout.
An ideal stocking rate would be 1000 goats and 30 cattle (16 ha: to 1 LSU).
The vegetation consists of False Karoo/Noorsveld and Xeric Succulent valley bushveld with a rich vein of riverine bushveld and grasses created by the Sundays River. In Order to increase the carrying capacity, one would have to ensure that the levels of the existing Furrow from the Sundays River are maintained to ensure that water is led to an existing dam on the property. The idea was to irrigate an area of 15 ha by pivot along with the 10 ha that are already existing. Annual rainfall is on average 300mm although the Darlington Dam has recorded 273mm per annum over the last 40-odd years.
A large area is game-fenced to keep Game out and is ready to plant Lucerne.
Buildings include a 4 bedroom (3 bathrooms) house with a lounge, dining room, and kitchen with an outside pool. The property has another 5-bedroom farmhouse which is used for Hunters but in need of a generator. There are 4 staff houses, 2 enclosed sheds, a double garage, a cold room and a workshop.
There is Eskom power.
