KLIPFONTEN FARM is considered one of the best farms in the area and is known for pastures with particular high grazing capacity. The farm is well balanced between summer and winter grazing veld. One of the unique features of the farm is that sheep can move between summer and winter grazing areas seamlessly. Klipfontein is RWS compliant, and that adds value to the wool clip. The sheep flock on the farm is bred over many decades and is particularly well adjusted to the area. Klipfontein offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to buy a farm as a going concern in a sought-after location.

The farm’s fencing is in good condition; the farm’s boundary is fenced with Jackal proof fencing.
The farm consists of four sections: Klipfontein, Klipkraal, Mauritiusgat, and De Hoop, and is divided into 20 camps, each with water. Four Boreholes with windmills and four solar pumps supply drinking water.

Klipfontein is located in a high rainfall area. A large dam with 339 992 cubic meters of capacity is on the farm. Twenty-nine (29) hectares of dry land are located below the dam and were irrigated previously. The many natural marshes (vleie) offer good grazing and add to the higher-than-average crazing capacity of the farm.

Klipfontein has exceptional good infrastructure with a comfortable and spacious farmhouse. The farmhouse consists of 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a lounge area, dining room with a Dover fireplace, braai-room, kitchen with scullery, and 2 outdoor store rooms.

Shearing shed with partial ‘hordjies’ floor
