Cattle and Game Farm with abundant water and infrastructure for sale near Modimolle

Farm for Sale: 288 Hectares of Productive Mixed-Use Land with Strong Infrastructure Near Modimolle, Limpopo

This beautiful 288-hectare farm is situated close to Modimolle in Limpopo, within easy driving distance of Pretoria and Johannesburg. It offers an excellent balance of approximately 50% game-farmed mountainous terrain and 50% arable and grazing land, making it highly versatile for livestock, crop production, and eco-tourism ventures.

The farm features fertile sandy loam soils ideal for planting. Four measured 8-hectare circles have been laid out, with two currently planted with preparation crops and ready for further development. Planning has already been done to equip these with solar-powered pivot irrigation systems. Seven separate camps, mainly enclosed with game fencing and a practical gate system, facilitate easy rotational grazing. Dedicated cattle handling facilities include a crush, neck clamp, loading ramp, and sorting pens. A substantial 144-hectare mountain section is fully camped off, adding scenic variety and game habitat. The entire property is securely enclosed with game fencing on the boundaries.

Water infrastructure is a major strength. Seven boreholes (four equipped) provide a combined yield of around 50,000 litres per hour. Complementing this are various streams and fountains that feed into ground dams built for effective water retention, along with two cement reservoirs. The ground dams have potential to be enlarge for even better water retention. Two net houses for vegetable production further enhance the farm’s agricultural potential.
