Farm for sale
Come home to expansive Sneeuberg mountain living on 5481ha near Murraysburg and Graaff-Reinet, with dramatic views, off-grid solar power and established game fencing for conservation.
PROPERTY OVERVIEW
Nestled in the dramatic Sneeuberg mountain range on the Murraysburg Road in the Western Cape, just off the boundary of the Eastern Cape, this exceptional 5481-hectare farm is a rare and diverse agricultural and lifestyle offering that will appeal to serious farmers, game enthusiasts, investors and lifestyle buyers alike.
The Farm is a well-established, extensively fenced property with a substantial infrastructure footprint, an off-grid solar system, multiple residential and operational dwellings, and an exciting possible wind farm agreement that could unlock significant additional income potential for a future owner. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Sneeuberg mountains with an average annual rainfall of approximately 420mm, this is a property of genuine scale, character and opportunity.
LOCATION & ACCESS
The farm is located in the Murraysburg Road Registration Division of the Western Cape, situated in the iconic Sneeuberg mountain area just off the boundary of the Eastern Cape, within the Beaufort West Municipal area. The property is accessed via a registered servitude road, placing it within comfortable reach of Murraysburg town for essential services, Beaufort West for major commercial facilities and N1 highway access, and Graaff-Reinet as the Eastern Cape gateway. Cape Town is approximately 4 hours away via the N1.
THE LAND
The property extends across 5481 hectares of land, in one of the Western Cape's most scenic and productive mountain farming regions. The terrain is characterised by the rugged, beautiful landscapes of the Sneeuberg range, with diverse grazing veld, natural shelter and the open elevated character that defines great Karoo mountain farms.
The farm is exceptionally well-fenced for both livestock and game farming, with 28 kilometres of game fencing and 14 kilometres of 1.2-metre standard fencing representing a significant infrastructure investment. Two livestock kraals are in place, and with an average annual rainfall of approximately 420mm, the land offers good grazing potential for game, livestock and mixed farming operations. The area is ideal for conservation and eco-tourism as well.
POSSIBLE WIND FARM AGREEMENT
An exciting additional dimension to this property is a possible wind farm agreement currently under discussion. The Sneeuberg mountain region has been identified as one of South Africa's prime areas for renewable energy development, and a wind farm lease agreement, if confirmed, would provide a substantial and reliable long-term income stream to the incoming owner, entirely separate from and complementary to the farming operation.
FARM INFRASTRUCTURE & IMPROVEMENTS
The farm is comprehensively improved and fully operational from day one, offering an excellent range of residential and working farm facilities. There are three residential homes and two labourers' cottages providing comfortable accommodation for the owner, family and farm staff. Operational buildings include two storage rooms, a butchery, and an office, making the farm well-equipped for a working agricultural enterprise. Two livestock kraals complete the farming infrastructure.
The farm is powered by a 10kW solar system, enabling true off-grid living and significantly reducing operational costs. No delivery contracts are currently in place, giving an incoming owner full flexibility in structuring their farming or commercial arrangements from the outset.
THE OPPORTUNITY
The Farm presents a compelling multi-dimensional opportunity for the right buyer. The combination of scale, established game and livestock fencing, diverse dwellings, off-grid solar power and the potential wind farm income agreement creates a rare package that is genuinely difficult to replicate in today's market. Whether your vision is large-scale game farming, livestock production, conservation and eco-tourism, a private mountain lifestyle retreat, or a long-term land banking investment, this farm offers the infrastructure, scale and location to deliver on all fronts.
