934 HA OF WATER-RICH GRAZING FOR SOUTH AFRICA’S NEXT WAGYU
Once a prestigious cattle ranch, De Beer Kraal offers an exceptional 934 hectares of productive grazing land with valuable water resources and established infrastructure. The farm borders the Mooi River, fed by the Karkkraal Dam, and includes an irrigation furrow, 13 hectares of water rights, four boreholes, six concrete reservoirs, and a natural seasonal dam. The property is divided into 23 grazing camps, all fitted with water troughs, and includes irrigation lands, Smitsfinger pasture, Eragrostis fields, and extensive natural Klipveld grazing with proven carrying capacity. Improvements include a feedlot for 60 cattle, sheep kraal, cattle handling facilities, shed, and storerooms. A simple but functional two-bedroom manager’s house provides on-site accommodation with fruit trees and a shaded vegetable garden. With scale, water security, and solid agricultural foundations, this is a rare opportunity to restore a once-great ranch to its full potential.
Large-scale farms of this nature are becoming increasingly rare. Once sold, opportunities like this may not present themselves again in this region.
