Mixed use farm for sale in Uniondale Rural

Set in the heart of the Small Karoo, roughly 30km north-east of Uniondale along the scenic Hartebeesrivier gravel road, Sewefontein is an immaculately maintained 1250 hectare farm offering a rare combination of productive land, sound infrastructure and genuine Karoo wilderness, all within easy reach of the Baviaanskloof.

The farm rises gradually from a broad northern boundary up into semi-mountainous terrain along its southern edge, taking in good arable dryland, rich fynbosveld grazing, dramatic ravines and gorges, and sweeping mountain views throughout. Roughly 400 hectares of gently sloping, is arable land, while the balance is a mix of indigenous Karoo Renosterbos and fynbos veld, carved through with deep ravines that give the farm real character.

A standout feature is the quality of the fencing: approximately 450 hectares (17km) of the farm is enclosed in well-built, 2.4m electrified game fencing, with a further 3.6km of fortified 1.8m fencing dividing the interior into well-planned camps — infrastructure built to a genuinely above-average standard throughout.

Water security is excellent, with four boreholes independently tested and certified by professional hydrogeologists (full pumping test reports available on request). Power supply is equally impressive: alongside the two-point Eskom grid connection, the farm is fitted with two substantial solar installations. The main house runs on 36 x 380W panels, a 12kVA inverter and 2 x 16kWh batteries, while the garage and cottage are served by their own system of 12 x 380W panels, a 6kVA inverter and 3 x 7.4kWh batteries — combining for roughly 18kWp of solar generation and over 54kWh of battery storage across the farm, on top of a solar-equipped borehole pump.

The homestead is neat, welcoming and well cared for: an older 4-bedroom main house (2 bathrooms, study, living room, kitchen and scullery) has been recently upgraded with a modern interior, complemented by verandas, a separate 1-bedroom flat (new), a laundry, and staff housing. For equipment and operations, the farm boasts a large 1,200m² brick wall and steel-frame shed plus a second 275m² shed, a 98m² shed and 320m² of brick garages and store rooms — ample covered space for machinery, implements and storage.

Access is via a well-maintained gravel road right to the farm gate, with good internal farm roads throughout. Neighbouring land is given over to extensive cattle, crop and game farming, with the area increasingly a sought-after game farming destination.

Above all, Sewefontein offers something increasingly hard to find: real space, clean air, and some of the darkest, most unspoiled night skies in the Western Cape. Far from any major town or light pollution, the Milky Way is visible in full on a clear night — a farm for those wanting genuine quiet, privacy and a true Karoo lifestyle, combined with a productive, well-run agricultural unit.
