Tankwa Karoo – Silence, Space and Endless Horizons
Situated along the western slopes of the Roggeveld mountain range in the northeastern part of the Tankwa, the property lies approximately 65 km south of Calvinia and about 160 km northwest of Sutherland via Middelpos and the Gannagapas. The R355 runs along the western boundary of the farm, ensuring easy access.
Located in the sought-after Tankwa region, near the well-known National Park, this typical dry Karoo small-stock farm offers an authentic and secluded lifestyle. The landscape is defined by expansive plains and approximately 40% natural Karoo koppies, creating unique character and visual appeal.
The area receives winter rainfall of approximately 150–250 mm per year, with hot summers and pleasantly cool winters that add to the distinctive charm of the region.
