Discover this farm in the Boesmanland, nestled between the quiet towns of Kenhardt and Brandvlei in South Africa’s Northern Cape. This expansive 5,201-hectare livestock farm embodies the rugged charm and enduring spirit of the region, known for its vast plains, rich red soils, and hardy vegetation.
Farm Features
Held under a single title deed, the farm is thoughtfully divided into 11 camps, each with access to water through a well-established system of boreholes, dams, and pipelines. Five operational boreholes equipped with windmills draw water from approximately 35 meters below ground, feeding into eight dams and then distributed via around 15km of 32mm plastic pipeline.
The land offers a Large Stock Unit (LSU) capacity of 1:39, making it ideal for extensive grazing. Perimeter fencing is in good condition and electrified, currently monitored by neighboring farmers, while internal fencing is well-maintained by the tenant. Infrastructure also includes four sheep-handling facilities, supporting the farm’s suitability for small livestock such as sheep and goats. Limited cattle can also be accommodated.
Vegetation & Climate
The vegetation falls within the Bushmanland Basin Shrubland biome (VegMap), offering a mosaic of palatable grasses, shrubs, and succulents. This hardy flora is well-adapted to the region’s low rainfall, which varies between 100mm and 200mm annually, ensuring sustainable grazing for resilient livestock breeds.
Infrastructure & Buildings
The property includes an old homestead and outbuilding. The house, currently uninhabitable due to significant roof damage, presents an opportunity for complete renovation or demolition. The outbuilding, which lacks a roof, also requires substantial repairs. Together, these structures offer potential for transformation into a weekend retreat or operational farmhouse.
Access & Suitability
Easily accessible via a 15km gravel road from the R27 between Kenhardt and Brandvlei, this farm is ideally suited for small-scale or weekend farmers seeking a peaceful escape with agricultural potential. Its natural beauty and existing infrastructure make it a prime candidate for restoration and rural development.
Important Notes
Please note that some farming equipment, including select solar pumps and water tanks, is the property of the current tenant and will be removed upon transfer.
This is a transfer duty transaction as the seller is not VAT registered.
Boesmanland offers a unique agricultural experience—quiet, resilient, and full of promise.
