4,670Ha Farm To Let in Loeriesfontein

This 4,670-hectare property is an ideal sheep and game farm, consisting of 1 title deed. It was well-developed and this farm arguably has the most well-kept grazing in the area!

Situated 110 kilometres, of good gravel road, situated northwest of Loeriesfontein, this farm offers a diverse typographical layout of smaller hills, valleys, and vast flat plains on a sandy patch in the north-eastern part of the farm. This habitat supports the diversity of vegetation with large patches of grass, edible shrubs, bushes and succulents. Due to this balanced habitat system, there is a perfect balance in terms of a diversity of naturally available food for grazers like sheep, cattle and game.

Both summer and winter rainfall occur in this area. The long-term average is approximately 100 mm per annum.

A herd of Springbok, together with indigenous small antelope such as Steenbok, roam and forage in the area. Oryx does excellently too. The rare black-footed cat (miershooptier - felis nigripes) occurs and it is the smallest wild cat in Africa. With its bold small spots and stripes on the tawny fur, it is well-camouflaged, especially on moonlit nights. It moves between 5 and 16 km on average in search for rodents and birds. It can jump 1,6 metres high.

Adequate water, pumped from 3 boreholes, secures a constant water supply to the respective water drinking troughs. After good rainfall the 2 large earth dams fill with runoff water. This attracts a variety of inland waterbirds. Throughout the year common birds like the Namakwa grouse (kelkiewyn), red-crested bustard (korhaan) and the kori bustard (gompou) largest flying bird native to Africa, are common sightings. A network of good roads and tracks are spread throughout the farm.

The buildings are sound but needs repairs. The perimeter fences of the 5 inner camps are in good repair. Sheep handling facilities are distributed over the entire farm.

There is no Eskom line. No land claims or any servitudes apply to the farm.

If the infrastructure is restored to its former glory, this can be an ideal livestock or game farm with excellent facilities.

For someone who puts a premium on security, tranquility, silence, quality lifestyle, this will be it!

Here in the Boesmanland, one can breathe again!

To lease at R195,000.00 (VAT excluded) per annum for 3 years with the option to extend the lease.
