Mixed use farm for sale in Somerset East

A 1283ha farm situated near Cookhouse some 190km from Port Elizabeth. It comprises of 8 titles, but fenced as two separate adjoining units. One section is 775ha (4 camps) and another 507ha (2 camps). The vegetation is mixed bushveld with both sour and sweet veld. The natural vegetation makes it ideal for stock purposes (cattle and game farming). This area is renowned for its Kudu Bulls'''.

The property is completely off the grid, water is certainly adequate with nine earth dams and a furrow that is fed by a mountain water course that naturally feeds a dam at one of the houses (507ha portion). Average rainfall is 600mm in the valley and close to 900mm on top of the mountain.

Both properties have houses with solar systems (section 775ha) has a five-bedroom open plan kitchen, lounge, dining room, one bathroom and a separate toilet with a swimming pool and braai/entertainment area. Solar system comprises of a 8 KVA system with 3 batteries and 12 panels. The other section 507ha has a four-bedroom, three-bathroom, open-plan kitchen, lounge with a braai and entertainment area as well as a cold room all run by a 5 KVA solar system (1 battery and 8 panels).

Natural game includes Kudu, Mountain Reedbuck, Warthog, Bushbuck and Duiker.

The Seller is open to negotiation should a Buyer wish to purchase only one portion but potentially these two properties adjoin another 1800ha so in my option one should look at the bigger picture of close to 3000ha.
