Sheep farm in the heart of the Karoo, Calvinia.

Tucked away near the charming town of Calvinia, in the serene expanse of the Karoo, a vast sheep farm awaits its new owner. Covering a generous 4100 hectares, this property isn't just a home to quiet country life but a beacon of agricultural promise. Primarily a sanctuary for up to 500 sheep, its varied terrain is equally welcoming for cattle or could be reimagined as a game farm, perfect for those interested in wildlife conservation or developing an eco-tourism haven.

Verskuil naby die bekoorlike dorpie Calvinia, in die rustige uitgestrektheid van die Karoo, wag 'n uitgestrekte skaapplaas op sy nuwe eienaar. Met 'n ruim 4100 hektaar, is hierdie eiendom nie net 'n tuiste vir 'n stil plattelandse lewe nie, maar 'n baken van landbou-belofte. Dit is hoofsaaklik 'n toevlugsoord vir tot 500 skape, maar sy gevarieerde terrein is net so verwelkomend vir beeste of kan heringebeeld word as 'n wildsplaas, perfek vir diegene wat in wildbewaring of die ontwikkeling van 'n ekotoerisme-hawe belangstel.

Die eiendom is gelys teen R 4,500,000, onderhewig aan BTW, wat die totaal op ongeveer R 675,000 in belasting bring. Tans huisves dit 'n trop MeatMaster-skape, wat nie by die verkoopprys ingesluit is nie. Daar is egter 'n geleentheid om te onderhandel vir 'n begin-trop uit die bestaande, geregistreerde MeatMaster-kudde.

Onder sy uitgestrekte lande is 5 hektaar spesiaal geskik vir die verbouing van uie, wat 'n verskeidenheid landbou bied, terwyl 'n ander 100 hektaar vrugbare grond bied vir graan en ander landbou-ondernemings. In die kern van die plaas lê 'n verwelkomende woonhuis, volledig met 3 slaapkamers, 'n kombuis, eetkamer, en sitkamer, alles wat die gemak en sjarme van plattelandse lewe uitstraal.

'n Groot 120 m² stoor komplementeer die leefruimte, en bied uitgebreide ruimte vir stoor, masjinerie, of potensiële omskakeling in ekstra woonkwartiere of kreatiewe ruimtes. Noodsaaklik vir plaaslewe, water is volop hier, danksy die boorgate wat die eiendom stip, en verseker 'n bestendige voorsiening vir beide boerdery- en huishoudelike behoeftes.

Meer as net 'n stuk grond, hierdie plaas is 'n skoon doek vir die verbeeldingryke en ambisieuse. Of dit nou gaan om sy nalatenskap van skaapboerdery voort te sit, te waag in bees- of wildboerdery, of om sy landbou-uitset te diversifiseer, hierdie juweel van die Karoo staan gereed om die aspirasies van sy volgende bewaarder te ondersteun. Hier, onder die uitgestrekte hemele en op die vrugbare aarde, wag eindelose moontlikhede.
The property is listed at R 4,500,000, subject to VAT, bringing the total to approximately R 675,000 in taxes. It currently hosts a flock of MeatMaster sheep, which are not included in the sale price. However, there's an opportunity to negotiate for a starter flock from the existing, registered MeatMaster herd.

Amongst its sprawling lands, 5 hectares are specially suited for onion cultivation, providing a splash of agriculture variety, while another 100 hectares offer a fertile ground for grains and other agricultural ventures. At the farm's core lies a welcoming homestead, complete with 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, dining room, and lounge, all exuding the comfort and charm of country living.

A large 120 m² store complements the living space, offering extensive room for storage, machinery, or potential conversion into extra living quarters or creative spaces. Essential to farm life, water is plentiful here, thanks to the boreholes dotting the property, ensuring a steady supply for both farming and domestic needs.

More than just a piece of land, this farm is a blank slate for the imaginative and ambitious. Whether carrying on its legacy of sheep farming, venturing into cattle or game, or diversifying its agricultural output, this jewel of the Karoo stands ready to support the aspirations of its next steward. Here, under the vast skies and upon the fertile earth, endless possibilities await.
