Off-grid independence on the Plains of Camdeboo
Web Ref.
RLS1007597
SOLE MANDATE – Set against the wide horizons and mountain backdrops of the Tantjiesberg, Roodeberge and Camdeboo, this 113-hectare property offers a combination of rural tranquillity, exceptionally low running costs and agricultural potential. Situated approximately 30 minutes from Graaff-Reinet and accessed via a well-maintained gravel road, the property is entirely off-grid and benefits from strong groundwater resources, with considerable potential to expand its existing irrigation capacity.
LOCATION: ± 30 km south-west of Graaff-Reinet
SIZE: ± 113.5116 ha
HOMESTEAD: The approximately 420 m² homestead comprises an open-plan kitchen, dining room and lounge with an indoor braai, as well as a separate lounge with a fireplace. The accommodation includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en suite), a laundry, office and a storeroom. A tandem open garage and verandas along the northern and western facades are included in the stated building area.
With the exception of the open-plan area and bathrooms, the house features Oregon pine floors and Masonite ceilings. It has a low-pitched corrugated-iron roof, with the northern veranda similarly roofed in corrugated iron. The enclosed open-plan section on the eastern side has an asbestos roof.
OUTBUILDINGS: A nearby 70 m² outbuilding accommodates a single garage and workshop. Other buildings include a 160 m² open-sided shed, two feed stores, an additional storeroom, and an implement and tractor shed.
A separate 60 m² building in need of attention previously accommodated two staff units, each comprising two rooms. Its proximity to the homestead makes it well suited to possible conversion into guest accommodation.
FARM INFRASTRUCTURE: The property is divided into three camps and three cultivated lands, a portion of which is enclosed with high kudu fencing. Some of the internal fencing requires maintenance. A rudimentary internal road network provides vehicle access to all camps and lands. Further infrastructure includes a chicken coop and a shade-net tunnel used for vegetable production.
The livestock infrastructure includes two sheep kraals, one with a dosing race; a 40 m² cattle shed with an adjoining kraal; and approximately 30 pig pens. Five of the pig pens are brick-built, while the remainder are enclosed with mesh.
POWER SUPPLY: The property operates independently of the Eskom grid and is powered by an off-grid solar system comprising 12 roof-mounted 550 W solar panels (6.6 kWp), an 8 kW Sunsynk inverter and two 5.12 kWh Sunsynk lithium batteries, providing a combined nominal storage capacity of approximately 10.24 kWh. A gas geyser provides hot water to the kitchen and bathrooms.
The property was previously supplied with Eskom electricity, which can be reconnected if required. The ± 1.35-kilometre power line extending to the farmyard is privately owned and forms part of the property.
WATER INFRASTRUCTURE: The principal borehole water supply is provided by a ±70 m-deep borehole, equipped with a 10 kW submersible pump delivering approximately 16,000 litres per hour. The pump is powered by a dedicated solar installation comprising a 15 kW inverter and 28 ground-mounted 550 W solar panels, providing a total installed panel capacity of approximately 15.4 kWp.
Borehole water is pumped approximately 250 m through a 75 mm pipeline to a large cement reservoir with an estimated capacity of 165,000 litres. The system also supplies the homestead and irrigation lands. The homestead has a 2,500-litre JoJo tank fitted with a pressure pump for general domestic water use.
The property has approximately 12 boreholes, of which only the main borehole is currently utilised. Of the remaining boreholes, five are considered to have potential for future irrigation-water development, including three that were previously equipped with diesel-powered pumps. All camps and cultivated lands are equipped with livestock drinking troughs.
Household drinking water is supplied separately from harvested rainwater, stored in one 5,000-litre and two 2,500-litre JoJo tanks with a combined capacity of 10,000 litres.
IRRIGATION: Borehole water is currently utilised to irrigate two lands of approximately 2 ha each (±4 ha in total), one of which is presently planted to oats. The lands are supplied via a 75 mm mainline and are equipped with draglines supplying approximately 17 sprinklers per 2 ha section. An adjoining ±3.7 ha land, already fitted with a 100 mm mainline and hydrants, has potential for incorporation into the existing irrigation system, subject to an upgrade in water-supply capacity.
An additional ±26 ha was historically flood-irrigated from boreholes on the property, providing scope for the potential redevelopment of additional irrigated lands, subject to confirmation of available borehole yields and the necessary infrastructure.
CARRYING CAPACITY: ± 19 ha/LSU – Govt. Assessment 2018
ANNUAL RAINFALL: ± 300 mm
TOPOGRAPHY & GEOLOGY: This open plains property is predominantly level, ranging in elevation from approximately 620 to 630 metres above sea level. It is underlain entirely by sedimentary formations, with deep, fertile alluvial soils occurring mainly in the north-eastern and southern areas. A smaller occurrence of mudstone and sandstone is to be found in the north-west.
VEGETATION: Typical open Karoo veld with dwarf shrubs and grasses interspersed with larger shrubs and trees. Tree species around the farmyard and lands include Mesquite (Prosopis species) and Peruvian pepper (Schinus molle), while in the veld Sweet Thorn (Vachellia karroo) is dominant.
Larger shrubs include Spike Thorn (Maytenus heterophylla), Swartstorm (Cadaba aphylla), and Wolwedoring (Lycium oxycarpum). Smaller shrubs include Anchor Karoo Bush (Pentzia incana), Asbos (Psilocaulon mesembryanthemum), Australian Saltbush (Atriplex lindleyi), Bitter Karoo Bush (Chrysocoma ciliata), Boxing-glove cactus (Cylindropuntia fulgida var. mamillata forma monstrosa), Brack Salad (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum), Creeping Saltbush (Atriplex semibaccata), Doringvygie (Ruschia intricata), Drosanthemum archeri, Gombos (Pteronia viscosa), Katdoring (Asparagus retrofractus), Klapperbossie (Blepharis mitrata), Kougoed (Sceltium emarcidum), Rooilootganna (Caroxylon calluna), Tumbleweed (Salsola kali), Wild Asparagus (Asparagus aethiopicus), and Wild Rosemary (Eriocephalus africanus).
Grass species include Bur Bristle Grass (Setaria verticillata), Blue Buffalo Grass (Cenchrus ciliaris),
Carrot Seed Grass (Tragus berteronianus), Dew Grass (Eragrostis Obtusa), Guinea Grass (Panicum maximum), Iron Grass (Aristida diffusa), Kalkkweek (Eragrostis bergiana), Lehmann’s Love Grass (Eragrostis lehmanniana), Quick Grass (Cynodon dactylon), Thimble Grass (Fingerhuthia africana), and Weeping Love Grass (Eragrostis curvula).
