Subdivided into 23 well-planned camps, each with reliable water access.

Carrying capacity: LSU 1:28, aligned with the region’s grazing potential.

Average annual rainfall: 150–200 mm per year.

Water Infrastructure

6 x boreholes equipped with windmills.

1 x solar-powered borehole pump.

Average water table depth of approximately 50 metres.

Water stored in dams and plastic tanks.

Distributed via an extensive network of plastic pipelines across the farm.

Two large earth dams, predominantly rain-fed, capable of holding water for extended periods in favorable seasons.

Fencing & Roads

A part border fencing consists of 10-strand stock-proof fencing.

Internal fencing is stock-proof and in very good condition.

Well-maintained internal and perimeter roads provide access to all sections of the farm (4x4 vehicles recommended due to dune terrain).

Vegetation & Grazing Quality

The farm falls predominantly within Gordonia Duneveld, with smaller portions of Kalahari Shrubland, underlain by Kalahari Group geology. The landscape consists mainly of softer red dune veld with sandy soils, interspersed with a ±1500 ha section of firmer soils where the boreholes are situated.

Pasture Quality

The grazing consists of a healthy mix of perennial and annual Kalahari-adapted grasses typically associated with productive dune systems. These grasses are well suited to extensive grazing systems and respond positively to good rainfall years.

Key pasture characteristics:

Strong presence of deep-rooted perennial dune grasses.

Good basal cover across the majority of the farm.

Balanced grass-shrub composition, typical of well-managed Kalahari veld.
