Exceptional 494 Hectare Game Farm

Located just 26km from the popular coastal town of Kenton-on-Sea and only 37km from Makhanda (Grahamstown), this exceptional 494.95-hectare game farm presents a rare opportunity to own a well established wildlife property in one of the Eastern Cape’s most sought after regions. Offering breathtaking scenery, diverse game, quality infrastructure and outstanding farming facilities, this remarkable property is perfectly suited to those seeking a private game farm or an exceptional lifestyle investment.

Rolling koppies, open rooigras veld and indigenous bush create a diverse and picturesque landscape that supports an impressive variety of wildlife. The well managed veld provides an excellent balance of grazing and browsing, while an extensive internal road network allows easy access across the majority of the farm. From the main residence, sweeping views stretch across the surrounding veld where game can regularly be seen moving through the landscape.

The main residence offers comfortable farm style accommodation comprising two bedrooms, one bathroom and a spacious open-plan lounge and dining area with an indoor braai. Large doors open onto the surrounding countryside, taking full advantage of the magnificent views. The home offers comfortable living while providing an excellent opportunity for a new owner to modernise and add their own personal touch.

A spacious L-shaped covered patio leads to three separate guest bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom and direct access onto the patio, providing comfortable accommodation for family, friends or visiting guests.

The farm is fully enclosed with electrified game fencing and has been thoughtfully divided into two large camps and two smaller camps, complete with a well designed game boma. This practical layout provides excellent flexibility for game management, breeding programmes and the safe handling of wildlife. The property is registered with both CAE and WR numbers.

An impressive variety of game roams freely across the farm, including buffalo, giraffe, zebra, eland, kudu, nyala, impala, bushbuck, waterbuck, common reedbuck, mountain reedbuck, red hartebeest, blesbuck, white blesbuck and springbuck. The healthy diversity of wildlife, together with the varied topography and quality veld, creates an outstanding game farming environment. All game is included in the sale.

Water security is well established through a reliable solar powered borehole, while eight natural earth dams provide valuable water sources for wildlife throughout the year. The non-perennial Assegaai River traverses the property close to its northern boundary, further enhancing the farm’s natural beauty and unique landscape.

Supporting infrastructure has been carefully developed and includes four staff houses requiring refurbishment, a meat processing facility complete with a cold room, spacious sheds and additional storage buildings, ensuring the farm is well equipped for efficient day-to-day operations.

A standout feature of the property is the recently installed off grid solar system, comprising 17 solar panels, a 6kW inverter, an 8kW battery inverter with a maximum output of up to 17kW and approximately 20kWh of lithium battery storage. This impressive system provides reliable, energy efficient power while significantly reducing reliance on the electrical grid.

Adding further value, a tractor, bush cutter and ride on lawn mower are included in the sale, allowing the new owner to maintain the property with ease from day one.

Combining exceptional natural beauty, established game infrastructure, abundant wildlife, excellent water resources and a prime location just minutes from Kenton-on-Sea, this outstanding property offers a rare opportunity to own a truly special piece of the Eastern Cape bushveld. Farms of this calibre seldom become available.
