Livestock farm for sale in Griekwastad, Northern Cape

This exceptional agricultural property lies in the vast and captivating Kalahari region. It offers a rare opportunity for both commercial farming and recreational use. The Kalahari is known for its striking landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and rich variety of flora and fauna.

The farm consists of two title deeds sold as one cohesive unit, covering 2,597 hectares of productive land. (LSU 1:18)

It is conveniently situated on the N8 highway between Groblershoop and Griekwastad in the Northern Cape. Groblershoop is only 60 km away, ensuring easy access while maintaining a sense of privacy. The N8 divides the property into two nearly equal sections, each with its own unique character.

The northern section features softer soils and lies close to the impressive Langberg mountain range. This area is rich in Camel thorn, Grey Camel thorn, and Shepherd trees, as well as a wide variety of Kalahari grasses. Its rugged mountains and sweeping views create an ideal habitat for game and a picturesque environment for nature lovers.

The southern section offers a mix of harder terrain and softer sandy areas. The property is also traversed by the Soutloop River, which runs through both halves of the farm. Although this non-perennial river last flowed in 1988, its tree-lined riverbed hints at a more vibrant past.
