Well-Watered Mixed-Farming Opportunity in the Ladybrand District

This mixed-farming unit consists of two adjoining farms located less than 10 km east of Ladybrand, easily accessible with gravel roads in acceptable condition. The land has a mostly flat topography with a gentle slope from north to south, and the area receives an average annual rainfall of approximately 650–700 mm. Typical Free State weather applies, with cold winters, regular frost and occasional hail.

The natural grazing consists mainly of mixed sweet grass species with an estimated carrying capacity of 4–5 ha per LSU, and the veld is in acceptable condition for this time of year. The property is situated among other bona fide farming units, mainly used for natural grazing and crop production.

The farms are well watered, offering three boreholes with related dams and reservoirs, supplying constant water to all camps. The property is divided into 11 camps, each with drinking points for livestock, and the fencing is in acceptable condition.

Improvements include three dwellings, a flat, a former milking parlour, a workshop and a large double-volume store of approximately 1000 m2. The buildings are generally in good working order with only minor maintenance required. Eskom 3-phase electricity is connected, with a single supply point serving the farm.

This is a well-established farming unit offering a balanced combination of grazing, water and infrastructure, suitable for both cattle and crop production.
