4 Bedroom Farm For Sale in Steytlerville

Carrying capacity: 200 small stock ewes in normal rainfall years.

This well-developed small stock farm in the Karoo is perfectly suited for someone who would like to do small-scale farming as a retirement option.

Situated 50 km from Steytlerville, it is supplied with permanent stock and household water from the Cockscomb water scheme.

The property is divided into 10 camps that have been newly fenced. The boundary fences are predator proof and some of the internal fences are electrified. Each camp has a watering point from the water scheme and the water supply is supplemented by several earth dams with sustainable catchment areas.

The veld is a mixture of broken Karoo scrub flats and undulating hillsides with good stands of Pruim-, Witgat and spekboom. Several Acacia riverine areas render it a good small stock option.

Despite the crippling drought, the veld cover is commendable.
