1470 ha versatile farm with a wedding venue and water rights for sale!

This beautiful sustainable and versatile farm of 1 470 hectare is centrally located between Frankfort, Reitz, Warden, and Tweeling, far from any main roads. This piece of land consists of four title deeds (all of which are adjacent) being sold as a single unit. A portion of the farm offers a beautiful view of the Wilgerivier, with a 3,7 km riverfront. Building additional guest units on this part of the farm overlooking the river would be ideal. This is primarily a grazing and livestock farm where most of the camps have been converted to planted pastures with water supply to each camp. All the various camps complement each other well and the fences are in good condition.
