Property description

Located in the fertile Smaldeel region of the Eastern Cape, Lauderdale is a notable property spread over 1,236.24ha (in two titles), currently utilized as a stock farm. This property is ideally positioned 55 km from Grahamstown and 30 km to Adelaide, making it accessible yet secluded enough to offer privacy and tranquility.

Property Overview:
Lauderdale features 16 well-designed camps, including specialized smaller lambing camps positioned on 12 hectares adjacent to the scenic Koonap River. This river not only enhances the beauty of the property but also supports agricultural activities with irrigation potential via two established Eskom Points.

Infrastructure and Water Supply:
The farm is equipped with basic stock handling facilities and a large shed for storage and operations. While no livable houses are currently on the property, four staff houses are in place. Water for the farm is efficiently managed, supplied to drinking troughs through a system powered by two solar panels and a pump.

Agricultural and Game Farming Potential:
With its lush vegetation, predominantly consisting of river thicket like "Spekboom" and "Pruimboom" (Jacket plum), Lauderdale is not only suitable for stock farming but also has all the attributes necessary for developing into a significant game farm. The existing infrastructure and natural resources provide a strong foundation for such a transformation.

Environmental Highlights:
The Koonap River Valley, part of the property, is recognized as one of the gems of the Eastern Cape, offering stunning vistas and a rich biodiversity that is ideal for both livestock and wildlife.

This farm represents an excellent investment opportunity for those looking to expand into game farming or to continue and enhance its current use as a productive stock farm. Its combination of functional infrastructure, strategic location, and natural beauty makes Lauderdale a unique proposition in today’s market.
