This beautiful farm is situated on the high plateau on and above the eastern bank of the Gamtoos River, in the Eastern Cape. It is 49 km from the centre of the city of Port Elizabeth, and 24 km from the famous surfing town of Jeffreys Bay. The property is accessible either by a tar road off the Thornhill/Hankey off ramp (2 km from the N2), or by a 1,5 km gravel road off the R102. Description: The property is 686 ha in extent, and consists of 4 title deeds. This pristine Cape valley bushveld and acacia savannah has a grazing capacity of 1-3.5 ha per LSU, which is amongst the highest in the province. This magnificent property enjoys stunning panoramic views. There are 180 degree sea views from Blue Horizon Bay through to Cape St Francis to the south, and an unparalelled view of the Baviaanskloof and Tsitsikamma mountains to the north. The top plateau is a series of 3 flat thorn savannah areas, separated by spectacular, well-wooded gorges with deep red soil. A small finger of the property extends down the escarpment to the Gamtoos River, with the middle of the river being the boundary. This gives the property the added advantage of having direct access to the river. There is 4.8 ha of irrigable land adjacent to the Gamtoos River with water rights from the irrigation scheme. Vegetation: This farm has an incredible variety of vegetation. The flat plateaus are dominated by the perennial Pannicums, Themedia triandra and Cynodon dactylon. While the latter grass species can be of marginal value in harder areas, by virtue of the fertile soils and high rainfall enjoyed here, it is superb grazing grass throughout the year. The southern slopes of the gorges and valleys are dense, pristine valley bushveld. All the associated tree species are present, including the normally coastal candlewoods, as well as large milkwoods and wild olive trees.

The southern slopes of the gorges and valleys are dense, pristine valley bushveld. All the associated tree species are present, including the normally coastal candlewoods, as well as large milkwoods and wild olive trees. The northern slopes are less dense with good under canopy grass cover as well as a surprisingly well established and healthy stand of spekboom. A smaller section of the western slopes has a large diversity of fynbos, including pincushions (Leucospermum) and other protea varieties. There are also cycad longifolia. The farm falls in a transition summer/winter rainfall area with an annual average of 700mm. A water servitude for the main PE treated waterline is registered beneath the property to a large subterranean reservoir from where it is gravitated to PE. In addition to the treated water quota, and the canal irrigation quota, there are 3 boreholes delivering a staggering 1.8 million litres of water per hour. The quality and variety of the browse is excellent. The farm already has large populations of smaller buck, but could happily sustain considerable numbers of the larger browsers like eland, kudu, giraffe, red hartebeest and possibly 3 or 4 black rhino. Game species currently on the property include: Mountain reedbuck- 50 Blesbuck- 45 Zebra- 17 Waterbuck- 50 Nyala- 40 Impala- 300 Also bushbuck, blue duiker, common duiker, caracal and a couple of leopard. The farm has also supported 78 wildebeest in the past. 590 ha of the total property is fully enclosed with a new very high-spec game fence. There is a large modern house with 4 bedrooms, an implement/lucerne shed as well as an old dairy and associated buildings. The current owner is in a partnership agreement with the view to developing a 780 unit golf estate. The town planiing and EIA etc has been done and is in hand. Another option would be an upmarket wildlife eco-estate with lodge, conference and wedding venue. These could be built to optimize the spectacular views. The access to the river could be used for sundowner cruises and photo shoots. The eco-estate could include clusters of upmarket residential homes. This magnificent property with its ideal location, incredible panoramic views, rich bio-diversity and river access therefore offers exciting opportunities to any serious developer.

Baviaans Kloof Kareedouw Kouga River front farm for sale. Location The farm is situated approximately 35km NW of Kareedouw between the Kouga River and the Baviaanskloof. It was a comfortable 70 minute drive from Jeffreys Bay, which would put it well within the magical 2 hour radius of Port Elizabeth. Size Made up of 3 titles, the property is approximately 1644h in extent. This incorporates just over 1.5km of Kouga river frontage. Description Although currently run as a sheep/cattle unit, from an agricultural perspective, this area north of the Kouga towards Baviaans, is tough country. The topography is severe and dramatic, but for most, therein lies the appeal. The farm is dominated by a series of fynbos covered ridges, bisected by very deep wooded gorges. The bulk of the gorges have one or more perennial springs at their source and as such, have permanent pools along their length. One of the less daunting ones that I ventured down into had some excellent bushman paintings that I am assured are just a sample of many that occur across the farm. Anyone with an adventurous spirit and good set of boots could spend years climbing in an out of these gorges and still not get to see all there is. Veld types The ridge tops are typical of the false fynbos biome common to this area. Grass species include themedia, especially along the northern slopes, eragrostis Curvula in the old lands and areas of disturbed soil, aristida and an area of relatively healthy digitaria smutsii that must have been propagated in an old land some time back. Significant fynbos plants include the protea repens as well as the pin cushions leucospernum conocarpodendron. In total there are just over 200h of arable lands of which a portion is currently rotated to winter oats and serradella. Browse in the drainage lines and kloof is considerably more substantial than I initially would have thought. In my climb down one of them, I was very encouraged at the density of wild and false olive, sneezewood and candle wood clinging to the almost vertical gorge walls. Once on the valley floor stands of milkwood and what I assumed to be forest elder and one of the gardenias form an impressive canopy. I was surprised to find significant sign of kudu amongst the abundant bushbuck and bushpig sign, and am assured by the farmer that they are sighted regularly. I saw at least 4 large cycad specimens (altensteinii) of which I am sure there are many more, as well as a fantastic example of the prehistoric elephants foot plant (Dioscorea elephantipes). These I am assured are in abundance. Rainfall The farm falls in a transition summer / winter rainfall area with an annual average of 580mm. Game species Game species currently on the property include both mountain and grey (vaal) rhebuck, bushbuck, kudu, cape grysbok, klipspringer, bushpig as well as a number of smaller critters. I saw fresh sign of honey badger and given its location would imagine that it probably has both resident and transient leopard. Improvements The infrastructure on the farm is adequate if aging. The house, though small, has 4 bedrooms, a newly refurbished bathroom, lounge and kitchen. There is an outside shed and stock handling facility. Fencing, in the main, is intact, with a total of 9 veld camps. There is no Eskom power, with power to the house being supplied via a portable gen set. Conclusion As a stock farm, this is unlikely to ever be a significant revenue stream, but as a lifestyle wilderness destination, this northern Kouga region against Baviaans is tough to top. Given more time, I would love to traverse more of the valley floors and have no doubt that one would continue to stumble onto new and exciting discoveries with every outing. For those who have an ingrained conservation ethic and enjoy the remoteness of the Kouga Mountains and magnetic appeal of this picturesque river, I feel this property is well priced and would prove very rewarding. Price R 2.85 million plus Vat if payable.

Approximately 20 hectares consisting of wetland, open water pan, grassland, indigenous forest Situated at Monzi - a small farming community about 15 km's. from St. Lucia village. The property is at the southern extremity of the Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park (GSLWP) - a major new game reserve incorporating the World Natural Heritage Site of Lake St Lucia and stretching to the Mozambique border. The property borders on the Futululu indigenous forest (approx. 800ha.) section of the GSLWP and on the Umfolozi flood plain and the Futululu Wetland. We have recently received confirmation from the CEO of the GSLWP authority that we can have the property included within the big five game fenced boundary of the GSLWP which has all the big five except for lion. All that is required from our side is the formal lodging of the application. The GSLWP authority is currently awaiting funding for the fencing of this southern boundary. A further positive regarding the strategic locality of the property is the proximity (less than one hours drive) of the following attractions: Umfolozi/Hluhluwe Game Reserve,( Big 5 ) Cape Vidal (beaches and trails, Big 4 ), St. Lucia village (beach and estuary, whale watching, fishing, croc center. Etc just 15 km away.), Fanies Island and Charters Creek (Lake St. Lucia Resorts, birding, fishing and boat trips), Monzi Club (magnificent nine hole golf course, tennis and squash courts, just two km's. away) Richards Bay ( Harbor & Air Port) etc. etc. The parks business consists of middle market tourism: approx. 40 campsites, five chalets and a three bedroom house. The Environmental Center consists of two twenty bed dormitories, six four-bed rooms, a large kitchen and pantry and two large modern ablution blocks. A swimming pool, two more ablution blocks, offices and staff accommodation etc. Total area under roof: 1731m². All the above buildings are situated in a tropical "garden of Eden" setting of large trees, lush lawns and flower beds The true business potential of the property lies in the development of an up-market lodge or chalets on prime land overlooking the beautiful pan. The St. Lucia area, because of its World Heritage status as well as the many nearby attractions has become a popular destination for foreigners. St. Lucia village offers only urban accommodation to this market. The park is unique in that it is the only privately owned "eco" land close to St. Lucia village. The commercial timber on the property has been harvested. Once this is done the land will be rehabilitated and returned to grassland. Further hiking trails will be developed in conjunction with the conservation authorities. This property would certainly also appeal to a buyer wanting a private lodge or holiday home in magnificent surroundings.

It was a comfortable 70 minute drive from Jeffreys Bay, which would put it well within the magical 2 hour radius of Port Elizabeth. Size Made up of 3 titles, the property is approximately 1644h in extent. This incorporates just over 1.5km of Kouga river frontage. Description Although currently run as a sheep/cattle unit, from an agricultural perspective, this area north of the Kouga towards Baviaans, is tough country. The topography is severe and dramatic, but for most, therein lies the appeal. The farm is dominated by a series of fynbos covered ridges, bisected by very deep wooded gorges. The bulk of the gorges have one or more perennial springs at their source and as such, have permanent pools along their length. One of the less daunting ones that I ventured down into had some excellent bushman paintings that I am assured are just a sample of many that occur across the farm. Anyone with an adventurous spirit and good set of boots could spend years climbing in an out of these gorges and still not get to see all there is. Veld types The ridge tops are typical of the false fynbos biome common to this area. Grass species include themedia, especially along the northern slopes, eragrostis Curvula in the old lands and areas of disturbed soil, aristida and an area of relatively healthy digitaria smutsii that must have been propagated in an old land some time back. Significant fynbos plants include the protea repens as well as the pin cushions leucospernum conocarpodendron. In total there are just over 200h of arable lands of which a portion is currently rotated to winter oats and serradella. Browse in the drainage lines and kloof is considerably more substantial than I initially would have thought. In my climb down one of them, I was very encouraged at the density of wild and false olive, sneezewood and candle wood clinging to the almost vertical gorge walls. Once on the valley floor stands of milkwood and what I assumed to be forest elder and one of the gardenias form an impressive canopy. I was surprised to find significant sign of kudu amongst the abundant bushbuck and bushpig sign, and am assured by the farmer that they are sighted regularly. I saw at least 4 large cycad specimens (altensteinii) of which I am sure there are many more, as well as a fantastic example of the prehistoric elephants foot plant (Dioscorea elephantipes). These I am assured are in abundance. Rainfall The farm falls in a transition summer / winter rainfall area with an annual average of 580mm. Game species Game species currently on the property include both mountain and grey (vaal) rhebuck, bushbuck, kudu, cape grysbok, klipspringer, bushpig as well as a number of smaller critters. I saw fresh sign of honey badger and given its location would imagine that it probably has both resident and transient leopard. Improvements The infrastructure on the farm is adequate if aging. The house, though small, has 4 bedrooms, a newly refurbished bathroom, lounge and kitchen. There is an outside shed and stock handling facility. Fencing, in the main, is intact, with a total of 9 veld camps. There is no Eskom power, with power to the house being supplied via a portable gen set. Conclusion As a stock farm, this is unlikely to ever be a significant revenue stream, but as a lifestyle wilderness destination, this northern Kouga region against Baviaans is tough to top. Given more time, I would love to traverse more of the valley floors and have no doubt that one would continue to stumble onto new and exciting discoveries with every outing. For those who have an ingrained conservation ethic and enjoy the remoteness of the Kouga Mountains and magnetic appeal of this picturesque river, I feel this property is well priced and would prove very rewarding. Price R 2.85 million plus Vat if payable.
