1 491 ha Farm in Fort Beaufort

Situated between Fort Beaufort and Grahamstown, Clifton is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Eastern Cape farming enterprise combining irrigated agriculture, livestock infrastructure, established hunting operations and historic homestead living.

Extending over 1,491.84 hectares and comprising four title deeds, the property is divided by a public road into three distinct operational sections, creating a unique combination of farming, game and tourism potential.

The original homestead, dating back to 1839, was once the centre of a renowned English horse breeding farm. Rich in character and history, the residence remains in excellent condition and offers spacious reception rooms with magnificent fireplaces, four bedrooms, and a separate garden cottage, all set within a mature, established garden overlooking the Koonap River.

The farming infrastructure is extensive and includes excellent sheep and goat handling facilities, large storage sheds, workshops, feed milling facilities, a cool room, meat processing facilities, hydroponic growing infrastructure, garaging and a 50kVA generator. An established orange orchard of approximately 600 trees is situated along the river, supported by registered irrigation rights authorising 4.5 hectares and 20,866m3 of water annually from the Koonap River. Approximately 7 hectares have already been developed under irrigation.

A second section of the property is fully game fenced and currently supports a variety of plains game, making it ideal for hunting, game breeding or conservation purposes. Current game numbers include approximately:

40 Kudu

100 Impala

30 Springbok

30 Mountain Reedbuck

11 Blesbok

5 Zebra

The third section is home to the established East Cape Plains Game Safaris operation, founded in 1978. The hunting lodge consists of four separate accommodation units sleeping up to 20 guests and operates completely off-grid with a solar system and battery storage.
