2,140.90Ha Farm For Sale in Kathu

Exceptional Agricultural Gem in the Eastern Kalahari

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously maintained agricultural property nestled in the Eastern Kalahari near Deben and Kathu, in the Northern Cape.
Owned and lovingly cared for by the same family for over 120 years, this remarkable farm reflects a deep legacy of dedicated management and sustainable practices.
Spanning 2,140.9 hectares across two manageable portions, the farm seamlessly blends tradition with modern infrastructure and environmental awareness.

The property is characterized by lush Kalahari vegetation and boasts a livestock carrying capacity (LSU) of 1:13. It is divided into 25 well-planned camps, enhancing rotational grazing and resource management. The land features rich, sandy soils populated with pioneer grasses and a beautiful variety of trees, including Camel Thorn, Shepherd Tree, Buffalo Thorn (Blinkblaar-wag-'n-bietjie), and Grey Camelthorn, creating an idyllic and ecologically balanced landscape.

The terrain is mostly flat with minimal dunes, allowing easy access without a 4x4 vehicle. With annual rainfall between 250mm and 350mm, the area is suitable for sustainable cattle and game farming.

Fencing is in excellent condition, with jackal-proof perimeters providing strong livestock protection.

Farm A includes 8 camps with standard fencing.

Farm B offers 17 camps and includes two dedicated game camps—one with 1.8m fencing and another with 2.4m fencing—suitable for various game species.

Reinforced corner fencing using high-tensile wire ensures stability, particularly for cattle and wildlife management.

Water infrastructure is a standout feature. The farm is supported by three high-yield boreholes, producing between 18,000 and 22,000 liters per hour from depths of approximately 100 meters.
These boreholes are interconnected for efficient water distribution and are powered by solar and submersible pumps for reliability and sustainability.

Additional infrastructure includes well-designed metal cattle handling and loading facilities, facilitating smooth and safe operations. This layout makes the property ideal for both cattle ranching and game farming, with potential for a luxury game lodge development, especially given its proximity to other established game farms.
