Acres.  2928 Acres South Africa

Location.  This ranch is located approximately 220 miles north of Johannesburg.  The closest town with all the necessary facilities is Lephalale and is 30 miles from the ranch.

Terrain.  This ranch has a rolling terrain, deep sandy soil, all the local browse for game, many water holes filled from the wells, plus 3.7 miles of the Mogal River.

Improvements.  Everything you need to run this ranch is there. Two large storage rooms with enclosed feed room, meat processing room, cold storage and trophy storage room.  Staff quarters consists of 5 bedrooms, bath, kitchen, and a large laundry room for lodge customers.  There is a 7 stall horse barn if you would like to add horses.

Water.  There are 3 wells on the property, one with electricity, one with solar chargers and one not being used.  Several years back the water authority of South Africa built a dam down river that created a lake on the edge of the property from which the water for the lodge comes.  Drinking water is hauled in for the customers, but the river water is crystal clear and of good quality.  Although this property has 3.7 miles river frontage it is fenced off for the loss of game.

Comments.  This ranch is something really special with high fences in great condition and the facilities in the 5 star range.  The owner’s house is 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, huge lounge, dining room, kitchen, large pantry, trophy room, office and laundry to round out this 4,300 square foot home.  The backyard has beautiful flowers and large trees with a swimming pool.  This home and all the buildings on this ranch have a thatched roof which is the custom in this country.

This ranch has a 3,400 square foot, 2 story lodge, with 2 bedrooms, bath, kitchen, dining area, bar, large lounge, trophy room and high ceiling to hang your mounts in.  There is a wide wrap around porch with hand carved supports.  The grounds are landscaped and in perfect shape.

In between the lodge and the chalets is a large patio where you can sit around the fire and sip your favorite beverage and enjoy the scenery while they cook your meal.

I personally have hunted this ranch two different times and was very pleased with the results and quality of the game taken by me and my friends.  On my first hunt, one of my party took a 63 inch Kudu, a 37 inch Gems Buck, a 31 inch Waterbuck to list a few of the better animals.  This ranch was recommended to me 12 years ago by a world class big game broker and I finally got to try it out in 2004 and again in 2008, and I will go back in 2010.

Another great feature of this ranch is the fact the owner would like to lease it back from the buyer and pay by the kill.  This would bring the owners a guaranteed income in the 25% profit range over expenses.
