777.22 Ha Cattle and Sheep Farm | Stutterheim District | Eastern Cape
PROPERTY OVERVIEW
This is a substantial, well-established agricultural holding of 777.2261 hectares situated in the productive Stutterheim district of the Eastern Cape. The farm comprises 11 individual portions, all registered under a single title deed in a single consolidated title deed, offering a seamless and consolidated acquisition for the incoming buyer.
Positioned in one of the Eastern Cape's most reliable rainfall regions, the farm benefits from excellent natural water resources, established camp infrastructure with water in every camp, good fencing, and well-maintained cattle and sheep kraals. The property is offered voetstoets and presents an outstanding opportunity for an active livestock farmer, a land banking investor, or a buyer seeking a substantial, well-watered Eastern Cape farm in a proven agricultural district.
LOCATION & ACCESS
The farm is located along the Stutterheim Road in the Amahlathi Local Municipality, Eastern Cape, within the productive agricultural midlands between Stutterheim and the surrounding rural corridor. Stutterheim town, which serves as the commercial and administrative hub for the Amahlathi district, provides essential services including banking, retail, medical facilities and schools. The broader region is well-served by the R346 and R352 routes, offering convenient access to East London, King William's Town (Bhisho) and the N2 national road.
The area falls within the Amathole District Municipality and is surrounded by some of the Eastern Cape's most productive agricultural land, with the Kubusi Indigenous State Forest and Isidge State Forest framing the wider landscape. The iconic scenic destination of Hogsback lies to the south-west, and the Keiskamma River valley to the south provides further context to this rich and diverse farming region.
THE LAND
The farm extends across 777.2261 hectares across 11 registered portions, offering excellent scale for a productive livestock farming operation. The terrain is characteristic of the Eastern Cape midlands, with a mix of open grazing land, natural bush cover and river frontage, set in a region renowned for its consistent and generous rainfall. The area around Stutterheim receives average annual rainfall in the range of 700 to 900 millimetres, making it one of the more reliable and productive farming environments in the province.
The farm is well-subdivided into camps, each serviced by water in the form of dams or troughs, allowing for effective rotational grazing management across the full extent of the property. The land is ideally suited to cattle and sheep farming, with the grass cover, water supply and scale providing excellent carrying capacity for a serious livestock operation.
WATER SUPPLY & WATER RIGHTS
Water security is one of this farm's most significant assets. Every camp is supplied with water, either via natural dams or stock water troughs, ensuring that livestock has reliable year-round access to water across the full extent of the property. This level of water infrastructure is a considerable asset and reflects many years of careful investment and management by the current owners.
In addition, the farm holds a current registered water rights certificate for 30 hectares, registered to one Erf, providing a formal and legally recognised allocation for irrigation or other agricultural water use. Prospective buyers should confirm the full details and conditions of the water rights registration with the relevant authorities and their legal advisors.
FARM INFRASTRUCTURE
The farm is well-equipped with practical, functional farming infrastructure that allows an incoming owner to begin operations from day one. The camps are all fenced to a good standard and serviced with water, ensuring effective stock management across the property. The kraal and stock-handling facilities are described as excellent, with both cattle and sheep kraals in place, complemented by a zinc structure for small stock handling. This level of infrastructure is a significant value-add and would be costly to replicate from scratch.
FARMING POTENTIAL & OPPORTUNITY
This farm offers an exceptional canvas for a wide range of agricultural activities. The scale of the property, the quality of the water infrastructure, the reliable rainfall of the Stutterheim district and the established kraal and fencing facilities make it ideally suited to beef cattle, sheep and mixed livestock farming at commercial scale. The generous land area and good rainfall also create potential for fodder production, hay cultivation and other complementary farming activities.
The property equally represents a compelling long-term land banking opportunity in a region that has seen consistent demand for agricultural land in recent years, with strong fundamentals underpinning the Eastern Cape midlands market.
AREA & SURROUNDS
The Stutterheim district and the wider Amahlathi Local Municipality is one of the Eastern Cape's most diverse and productive agricultural regions. The area has a long farming heritage, with established communities of beef, dairy and sheep farmers operating in the district alongside the timber and forestry industry that characterises the surrounding state forest areas. The Kubusi River and its tributaries provide additional natural water resources throughout the region, and the proximity to Hogsback and the Amathole Mountains adds a scenic and tourism dimension to an already attractive agricultural corridor.
Key towns and facilities in close proximity include Stutterheim for day-to-day services, Cathcart to the north-west, Keiskammahoek to the south, and Amabele and Kei Road on the N2. The Dohne Agricultural Research Institute, one of South Africa's leading subtropical pasture research stations, is situated in the broader area and speaks to the strong agricultural credentials of the district. East London is approximately 130 kilometres to the south-east via the R63 and N2, providing access to a major port city, international airport and full commercial infrastructure.
CONDITIONS OF SALE
The farm is offered voetstoets (as is). No delivery contracts are currently in place. All 11 portions are registered under a single title deed facilitating a clean and consolidated transfer to the new owner. Contact Clayton for full pricing details.
