R5,950,000 | 261Ha Farm For Sale in Oudtshoorn Rural

This 261-hectare farm is well located in the heart of the Little Karoo, approximately 35 km from Oudtshoorn and 23 km from Calitzdorp. The area is widely recognized for lucerne production and ostrich farming, supported by established agricultural infrastructure and reliable water schemes.
The farm falls within a highly productive agricultural corridor, offering a rare combination of water security, scale, diversification potential and scenic Karoo living.

Regional Agricultural Context
The Calitzdorp–Oudtshoorn area is known for a broad range of successful farming activities, including:
• Lucerne and lucerne seed production
• Ostrich farming
• Pomegranates
• Vegetable crops such as cabbage, watermelon and cantaloupe
• Oats
• Livestock farming including sheep, Boer goats, cattle and game

This diversity makes the property suitable for both intensive irrigated cropping and extensive livestock farming.

Current Farming Operations
• 9 hectares under lucerne production
• Cattle farming
• The farm is listed for 18,78 hectares of registered water rights via the Stompdrift–Kamanassie Water Scheme, offering clear potential to expand irrigated lands
• Further development potential is evident when considering neighboring farm operations

Water Security & Income Potential – Key Investment Highlight
Water is the cornerstone of value in the Little Karoo, and this farm offers exceptional water security combined with strong income expansion potential.
The property holds 18 hectares of registered water rights, while only 9 hectares are currently developed, creating immediate scope to double irrigated production. This aligns well with regional expansion trends and demand for irrigated land.
A major highlight is the freshwater borehole, supplying water under gravitation — a rare and highly sought-after feature. This borehole supports livestock, domestic use and potential further development, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and off-grid living potential.
Given the region’s proven success with high-value agricultural activities, the farm is particularly well suited to lucerne seed production, which offers substantially higher income potential than standard fodder lucerne. Combined with secure water allocation and favorable climatic conditions, this presents a compelling opportunity for commercial farmers and agri-investors.
Multiple animal drinking points are positioned throughout the outfield, supporting sustainable grazing systems.

The outfield consists of a healthy mix of:
• Various Karoo succulents
• Fynbos species
• Thorn trees
• Spekboom
• Chinese Lantern

Kudu roam freely on the property, adding ecological value and lifestyle appeal.

• A small building on the farm, suitable for renovation into a weekend getaway, manager’s accommodation or Airbnb unit

Lifestyle & Views
