This 396 hectare farm is situated north of the quaint town of Niewoudtville. It lies in an area forming part of the Bokveldt escarp, known as the Boland (uplands) of the North Western Cape. The topography reflects this. The area boasts with relatively high winter rainfall which supports a variety of Fynbos, Protea and Waboom habitat. Large Olienhout trees are also found. The escarp displays incredible rock formations; nature reserves abound with game and birdlife; unusual vegetation blankets on huge tracks of land. The magic of spring paints this Bokkeveldt canvas with a brilliant palette of veldt flowers that has become world-renowned; Niewoudtville is known as the bulb capital of the world! A natural poplar forest, perennial spring and fertile wetland, as well as areas for the production of winter fodder, add to the splendour of this farm. The property is ideally situated to be transformed into a nature and game reserve, or is ideal for the production of quality oats, lupines or pastures. The western section of the farm is demarcated by the wine industry as origin for the marketing of wines. Adequate water is obtained from a borehole fitted with a solar pump (9,000 l/hour). This pump supplies water to several watering points and troughs for game and livestock. The comfortable 5 bedroom traditional farmhouse is structurally sound and in good repair. A historic shed was built with the more conventional stones / rocks / mud to a typical barn style. From the farmhouse as well as other elevated spots the property offers panoramic views of the hills towards Loeriesfontein and Calvinia. The unspoilt wilderness character of this nearly 400 hectare farm is best explored on foot. For sale at R2 800 000.
