A UNIQUE AFRICAN GAME FARM/RESERVE OPPORTUNITY



LISTING PRICE: $5 MILLION


The 4 farms sit perfectly nestled in the middle of the renowned game rich Smaldeel region which is roughly 40km from the picturesque Winterberg Mountain range. The 4 farms, which form a 4630 hectare (11 440 acre) block, is the perfect setting to establish a one of a kind African game farm or nature reserve with over 15km of the Koonap river flowing through the heart of the farms.

The farms act as a transition area between the Karoo and Transkei regions resulting in a rich diversity of biomes and highly sought after natural grazing. In the South ‘Spekboom’ veld clings to the steep valley edges while grassland with Acacia trees is found in the North. All the while, lush riverine bush gently meanders along the Koonap river banks. A hunter’s paradise with over 10 species of game ranging from the Eastern Cape's famous 'Grey Ghost' (Kudu) to a variety of plains game which include Waterbuck, Nyala, Bushbuck, Gemsbuck, Impala, Mountain Reedbuck, Fallow Deer, Steenbuck and Dikers. The birdlife that the area has to offer is second to none with the Fish Eagle's call frequently echoing across the river valley. Being a fully functioning livestock farm, the farm is well equipped with plenty of pumps, boreholes, water tanks and water troughs. The farms also have a total of 45ha (110 acres) of irrigation which provides a great opportunity for the farms to produce lucerne for the plains game. A total of 3 farmhouses can been found on the property with 10 accompanying worker’s houses.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a game loving investor to own a unique piece of land in Africa. In addition to the game, the farms have tremendous potential from an eco-tourism perspective. The 5 star world renowned Shamwari Game Reserve is 65km away as the crow flies which serves as evidence to what the area has to offer from a game, natural resource and eco-tourism perspective. The farm is situated in a malaria and foot & mouth disease free zone and is 220km from the Port Elizabeth International Airport, 20km from Adelaide (which has a small aircraft runway), 110km from the historic town of Grahamstown, and 185km from the coastal fishing town of Port Alfred.
