FULLY OPERATIONAL GOING CONCERN | ESTABLISHED INFRASSTRUCTURE | DIVERSE PLAINS GAME POPULATION
Situated in the well-known Swartruggens wildlife region in the North West Province, this ±850 hectare fully developed game farm presents an opportunity to acquire a complete and operational wildlife and hunting enterprise.
The property has been carefully developed into a professionally managed and exceptionally well-maintained wildlife property, where every aspect of the operation has already been established and refined. Offered as a going concern, the property allows a purchaser to step directly into a fully functioning wildlife and hunting operation from day one.
The farm forms a single operational unit, consisting of the following title portions of the farm Rustvoorby 383, all of which must be sold together:
LOCATION
FARM SIZE
±850 hectares
The property offers a diverse and attractive bushveld landscape, including natural ridges, open plains and established bushveld vegetation. The varied terrain provides excellent habitat for wildlife and creates an authentic environment for both game farming and hunting activities.
A COMPLETE WILDLIFE and HUNTUNG OPERATION
The farm has been developed with a clear focus on professional wildlife management, hunting operations and hospitality.
Game currently found on the property includes a diverse range of sought-after game species, including:
Buffalo (approximately 50 animals) are available separately for R2 000 000.00 (Excl. VAT).
EXTENSIVE OPERATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE
The property is fully equipped and operational, with infrastructure developed to support hunting, wildlife management and hospitality.
The farm offers approximately 2,018 m2 of developed improvements, including hunting camp facilities, residential units, slaughter and butchery facilities, storage buildings, staff accommodation and operational farm infrastructure.
Infrastructure on the farm includes:
The slaughter and meat processing facilities allow for complete on-site processing of harvested game, an important operational advantage for professional hunting operations.
RELIABLE WATER and POWER INFRASTRUCTURE
ESTABLISHED HOSPITALITY FACILITIES
The hunting camp offers comfortable lodge-style accommodation designed to host visiting hunters and guests.
Accommodation consists of stone and thatch chalets set within landscaped surroundings, creating an authentic bushveld atmosphere while maintaining comfort and practicality.
The camp includes communal areas suitable for both private use and commercial hunting operations.
MOVABLE ASSETS INCLUDED
A comprehensive list of movable assets is included in the sale, covering equipment used in the hunting camp, butchery, residences and general farm operations.
These assets contribute to the farm being sold as a fully operational going concern, allowing a new owner to continue operations without additional capital investment.
Key movable assets include equipment used in the hunting camp and butchery, farm implements, trailers, a tractor and a Land Cruiser game viewing vehicle. A detailed inventory of all movable assets included in the sale is available to serious buyers.
INVESTMENT PERSPECTIVE: PRICE PER HACTARE
At an asking price of R17 325 000 (excluding VAT) for approximately 850 hectares, the purchase price equates to approximately:
± R20 382 per hectare
Considering the farm is fully developed and operational, including wildlife populations, hunting infrastructure, accommodation facilities and slaughter and meat processing facilities, the property represents strong value within the current game farm market.
A purchaser is therefore acquiring not undeveloped land, but a complete and functioning wildlife enterprise where significant capital investment has already been made.
