Lifestyle Farm - Alexandria (CRRG-ALEXFARM242)

This farm is located between Alexandria and the Grahamstown road near the heart of big 5 country in the Eastern Cape.Made up of a single title, the farm is a shade under 242ha in extent.

As a stand alone lifestyle farm it would be superb, with the high carrying capacities and rainfall synonymous with this area, it would work very well as either a lifestyle game or beef unit.
Studies would indicate that the type of veld encountered there has a 1-6 LSU carrying capacity, with a ratio closer to 1-1 on the perennial pasture grasses. Effectively, one could probably look then at a sustainable load of approx 80 LSU (1-3) on the farm. From a game perspective, this would equate to a very impressive density of animals with the ability to stock a nice diversity of species.
Rainfall / water
summer rainfall area, annual average of 750mm. 4 earth dams including a very attractive, long dam at the house. supplemented by a single borehole with a submersible pump. These 4 dams mentioned are all in good condition
Improvements
3 and a half bedrooms (MES) with one additional bathroom, lounge, tv lounge, dining room, office, kitchen and scullery, as well as a small “sun” room that is currently used as a sewing room. In addition there is a double garage and adjoining storeroom.
All fencing on the 6 current camps is in a good condition, as is the water reticulation system and reservoirs.
Conclusion
As a lifestyle opportunity, this one will be tough to beat. The high carrying capacity and rainfall would mean it could be developed as either an impressive small game unit or could be a significant money spinner if used to raise and fatten beef weaners
