EXQUISITE NAMAKWA - AND BUSHMANLAND FARM FOR SALE ON THE IN UPINGTON

EXQUISITE NAMAKWA - AND BUSHMANLAND FARM FOR SALE ON THE ORANGE RIVER The seller proudly presents you with this magnificent property on the banks of the Lower Orange River. The property is situated on the border of the Namakwaland and Boesmanland in the Northern Cape where the Orange River forms the border between South Africa and Namibia. The Northern Cape is the largest and most sparsely populated province of South Africa and Afrikaans is by far the most widely spoken language, spoken by 83% of the population. The nearest town is Pofadder, about 88km to the South, Kakamas 120 km to the East, and the border post to Namibia at Onseepkans about 45km to the West. A 30km gravel access road leads to the secluded and safely isolated property's main entrance gate, and as one gets closer to the property excitement kicks in as the undulating terrain starts to beckon you into this barren but beautifully vegetated landscape.

The property of 13 000ha (LSU 1:42) consists of two title deeds sold as a limited company. The farm has spectacular landscapes of large mountains and stony hills scattered across the terrain, with valleys, plains, and riverbeds in-between.

On average rainfall years (100mm to 150mm) up to 150 cattle can be kept and farmed just along the riverbed and shore as it provides more than enough grazing on the multitude of islands in the river, a unique feature of this property.

Water is currently supplied by 4 boreholes all equipped with solar pumps.

The property has a West/East gravel landing strip with a newly built hanger of approximately 300 sqm, big enough to accommodate 2 x midsized aircraft.
