A 6,852-hectare game farm in the Eastern Cape is on the market for R55 million plus VAT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pam Golding Properties<\/a> said that the secured farm blends perfectly into the surrounds of the Eastern Cape Karoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is 30km from the historic town of Cradock and roughly 250km from the Gqeberha airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the farm, there are giraffes, impalas, lechwes, kudus, waterbuck, mountain rhebok, eland, red hartebeest, springboks, wildebeest and zebra roaming around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game farm also has a great diversity of birdlife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pam Golding said that more than 2,000 head of game, including top-quality trophy animals, are available for hunting enthusiasts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For non-hunters, the farm can also offer opportunities to develop 4×4 routes, hiking and walking trails, birding, and idyllic game viewing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire property has well-developed road infrastructure and numerous watering points, and it has a CAE-certified perimeter fence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The climate in this area also varies from chilly winters to warm summer days and has an annual rainfall of roughly 350mm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The farm also has a diverse topography, from the sometimes snow-capped mountains to the valley thickets, seasonal rivers and open Karoo plains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A “master-crafted” lodge also offers seven uniquely decorated en-suite bedrooms, each with their outside entrance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They all blend in with the open-plan, spacious interior, which includes two lounges, a 14-seater dining room, and a kitchen. These all flow onto a large deck with a pool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also a boma, which is excellent for braais. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accommodation extends to hunter’s cottage with four en-suite bedrooms, open-plan lounge, a dining room, a kitchen and built-in braai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking to the undercover veranda, one can soak up the endless views of the Karoo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the thatched manor home is set within a large parkland garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has an open-plan lounge, dining room, kitchen and second formal lounge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The home has two en-suite bedrooms, an office, a playroom, laundry and an outside built-in braai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also a cottage with two en-suite bedrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outbuildings have ample garage parking space, workshop, storerooms, four staff houses and a cold room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also a fully equipped abattoir with a large cold room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price includes the game, numerous vehicles, machinery, equipment, and contents of the abattoir, lodge, and hunter’s cottage, but not the contents of the manor house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
