SUTHERLAND: In the Corner of the Mountains — Where Two Rivers and the Untamed Karoo Meet
On the border of the Northern and Western Cape, among Kudu’s Mountains, ravines, and rivers, lies the tranquillity of the Karoo. Two streams meet here, and the Kareekloof River rises on the farm before flowing into the Tankwa River.
This unique farm extends over 1 859.88 hectares of mountains, valleys and open plains.
Farm roads have already been laid out to provide access to the mountain sections and camps, and the current owner is in the process of building an improved mountain road for quicker access from the farmhouse.
The farm consists of 8 camps and 3 windmills supplying water to livestock:
• Two large mountain camps share one windmill, strategically hidden between the mountains where beautiful picnic or braai spots can be developed.
• The second windmill supplies water to another 2 camps.
• The third windmill is situated near the farmhouse and supplies water to the house as well as the smaller house camps.
• The river camp has no windmill, as water is continuously available for livestock during the winter months.
The farmhouse is currently unoccupied and offers the ideal opportunity for any buyer to create a dream Karoo home.
There is a corrugated iron shed with a wooden floor currently used for sheep shearing. Beautiful old stone walls around the house are utilised as kraals and add to the character and history of the farm.
Natural wildlife, including kudu, grey rhebok, duiker, steenbok, klipspringer, and other Karoo species, flourish in this environment, sustained by the rivers and abundant water.
Topography and veld
The topography mainly consists of high mountain slopes, hills, secluded valleys and plateaus.
Ravines and riverbeds are home to:
• Acacia trees
• Karee trees
• Various grass species
• Regrowth veld
• Beautiful winter veld flowers
Grass species include:
• Spear grass
• Couch grass
• Finger grass
• Rooisaad grass
Unique koenie bushes provide excellent shelter and potential for camping or recreational spots.
The shrub veld consists of:
• Ankerkaroo
• Kapok bush
• Blue flower shrubs
• Thorny kapok
• Cat thorn
• Blasiebrak
• Thorny vygie
• Skaapvygie which produces the most beautiful purple flowers during October and November
The following also occur:
• Bietou bushes
• Ganna bushes
• Klappiesbrak
• Melkbosneta
Irrigation potential
Where the two rivers meet south of the house, a small dam wall can be constructed to create a large earth dam for water storage. The stored water can be utilised for irrigation purposes, including the production of grazing or own seed.
One wind turbine is currently being erected on the boundary of the farm. No through-roads will be developed across the farm. Further details will be provided to serious buyers.
The owner is VAT registered. The purchase price excludes VAT.
