CALVINIA / CLANWILLIAM: Absolute remote wilderness of note

This distinguished 5,340 ha farm is idyllically situated along the banks of the unpolluted, tree-lined Doring river. The farm consists of 5 adjacent title deeds.

After the 400 mm predominantly winter rains, the essence of the area is captured when an array of spring flowers burst into colour, changing the landscape into a mosaic of natural flora. The area is also famous for its extraordinary weather-sculptured rock formations, caves, and shallow overhangs.

The most noticeable feature of the farm is the amazing scenery. The property's landscape varies from open plains and rolling hills to secluded valleys surrounded by rugged cliffs and plateaus.

The vegetation is a good mix of veldt, grasses, shrubs, and bushes which are ideal for livestock or game farming. Various dry rivers traverse through the farm, thus creating quite a bit of river vegetation and a more intensified fauna and flora, resulting in substantially increased carrying capacity. These seasonal rivers run after heavy rainfall, fed from the plateaus and mountains.

Standing at the edge of the canyon, overlooking the perennial Doring river, you will experience deep peace, and a feeling that you might be the first human being there, ever!
Beyond the charming surroundings there are also a host of activities, you and your family or friends can enjoy. Plenty of indigenous game roam the hills, plateaus, and valleys of this vast undisturbed landscape.

The historic farmhouse boasts with thick stone walls and original reed ceilings, tied by riempies. The stone shed, cattle and sheep handling facilities, all are still well kept. These stone structures are a well-kept heritage from long ago.

Water for household purposes is available from a borehole close to the farmhouse. There is also a large reservoir which needs minor repair.

A perennial crystal-clear spring is also nearby the house below rock formations in a small canyon. Water for livestock and game is obtained from springs, solar pumps, and windmills, which are dispensed strategically all over the farm, providing ample drinking water for livestock and game.

Roads are a network of 4x4 tracks giving access to most of the plateaus and valleys. Some tracks are really challenging.

The perimeter fence is jackal proof and about 30km was electrified.

The combination of topography, vegetation, abundant water, and infrastructure, make this farm suitable for farming with sheep, goats, cattle and/or game.

This is also the perfect setting for a holiday resort, lodge or camping area with a myriad of activities such as hiking, mountaineering, mountain biking, fishing, 4 x 4 routes, and river rafting. As mentioned, beyond the charming surroundings and incredible scenery, the farm borders the Doring river, which opens up even more opportunities for leisure.

Enjoy the tranquil beauty in this absolute remote wilderness area!
