R7,800,000 | 328Ha Farm For Sale in Clanwilliam Rural

Just a three and half hour drive from Cape Town’s CBD along the N7 brings you to this remarkable 328-hectare retreat — a destination for those seeking true silence that reaches deep into the soul.

Nestled at the far end of the Biedouw Valley, over the majestic Cederberg Mountains, lies this truly remote wonderland on the 2-kilometre banks on the Doring River. The farm borders both banks and is uniquely positioned at the confluence of the Doring and Biedouw Rivers.

Situated approximately 110 km east of Clanwilliam, on the border between the Western and Northern Cape, this property rests in one of South Africa’s most arid regions, receiving less than 150 mm of rainfall annually, mainly during the winter months.

Thanks to its dry climate, the area is renowned as a disease-free farming destination, where livestock farming takes place mainly during winter.

If you’ve ever dreamed of showing your family and friends your own farm in Africa — this could be it!

The first thing that strikes you is the spectacular scenery. Beyond the tranquil surroundings, a host of outdoor activities await — from swimming in the crystal-clear perennial river pools to exploring the rugged terrain.

The topography varies from dramatic gorges to flat plateaus, offering striking contrasts and breath-taking vistas. During flower season, the valley transforms into a wonderland of colour, with wild daisies blooming until mid-September.

Vegetation includes natural succulent shrubland, dense riverine thicket, and Acacia thorn trees lining the riverbanks. The Doring River itself flows strongly after good winter rains, enriching the landscape.
Wildlife such as Eland, Kudu, Springbok, Klipspringer, and other smaller antelope roam freely along the river.

Three boreholes with a capacity of 4,800 litres per hour are fitted with Eskom or solar-powered pumps supplying water for household and gardening. The farm is fenced, and approximately 3 hectares of flat alluvial soil are suitable for lucerne or fodder production.

Accommodation includes a charming furnished 4-bedroom house, with bathroom (shower and bath), enclosed stoep, TV room, 4 bedrooms, dining and kitchen, pantry, laundry, storeroom which can be converted in bedroom. The house is fully furnished / fridge, freezer, washing machine, smeg stove, cupboards, ceiling fans, furniture etc. with attached 30 sq metre veranda.

The riverside cottage boasts with a hot tub and electricity. The 2 x 1-bedroom cottages with ablution facilities are furnished with single and double beds; the 2 x rustic camping sites set just a stone’s throw from the river.

The swimming pool and licenced pub with public ablution are frequently used by tourists / bikers passing by. Other buildings are an original 40 sq metre stone building (not in good repair), used as workshop and tool storage with 30 sq metre lean-to as undercover parking for vehicles.
