7,187.40Ha Farm For Sale in Sutherland

Nestled just 50 km from the historic town of Sutherland lies a remarkable sheep farm offering 7,187 hectares of prime sweetveld grazing. With its diverse natural terrain—ranging from Boesman grass to plains and mountainous areas—this property is ideally suited for sustainable livestock farming. The region receives an average of 180–220 mm of summer rainfall annually, supporting a rich tapestry of indigenous vegetation that enhances its grazing capacity. The Wolwe River flows through the farm, while the Riet River provides a natural boundary, contributing to the property's excellent livestock-carrying potential.

The land is subdivided into 15 well-maintained camps, 8 camps equipped with two watering points. Water security is guaranteed by 18 boreholes that are effectively managed using a combination of solar and wind pumps. A strong natural water source and a flood-irrigation dam further support the farm’s long-term agricultural sustainability.

The main homestead, a beautifully preserved stone dwelling with thick walls and a deep veranda, stands proudly amid an exceptional, mature garden. Anchoring this space is an extraordinary orchard of old, established fruit trees—many of them decades old—offering a generous harvest every season. The variety is impressive: from apricots, figs, and quinces to pomegranates, peaches, the garden provides abundant, fresh produce year after year.
It’s more than a practical feature—it’s a testament to generations of care and a true sanctuary for anyone who values both beauty and self-sufficiency.

The spacious residence includes four bedrooms, a formal dining room, a country-style kitchen fitted with a Rayburn stove, an office, a linen room, and a full bathroom. Architectural details such as the original pine ceilings and attic enrich the home’s nostalgic ambiance. Reliable internet connectivity is available through Herotel.

Approximately 15 km from the main house is a second residence, modest yet comfortable, featuring two bedrooms, a cozy living room, and another Rayburn-equipped kitchen. Surrounded by mature trees and powered via windmill, it offers a tranquil retreat for guests or farm managers.

The property also features a large storage barn, horse stables, goat kraals, and accommodation for staff. A historic stone kraal adds rustic charm and heritage to the setting. Solar panels provide the main residence with off-grid electricity, and a security camera installed at the main gate enhances safety.
Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the presence of approximately 25 springboks roaming the landscape.
