Description

Spanning an astonishing 15,000 hectares of prime Great Karoo landscape characterized by vast open spaces typical of the Karoo landscape, offering complete solitude, privacy and an exceptional opportunity to own a private wildlife sanctuary.

Accessed from a gravel road running west off the N12, or the same gravel road leading east from Prince Albert to the N12, the farm is approximately 40km’s from town and fully game fenced with an extensive network of well-maintained gravel roads.

The reserve is entirely off the grid, with solar installations and a back up generator. All accommodation units and the numerous water holes across all three properties are fed by 12 solar powered boreholes and 14 windmill boreholes.
Guest accommodation is provided for in four dwellings comprising of 3 x two bedroom ensuite units and 1x three bedroom ensuite unit attached to the main lodge building, with open plan living and entertainment area, built in barbeque/fireplace and a fully fitted open plan kitchen with walk in cold room.
