Karoo Guest Farm For R10,7m
A 1400ha farm, 'Travalia' situated near the landmark Three Sisters dolerite koppies just 75km north of Beaufort West on the market for R10.75m.
Wayne Rubidge, PGP's Karoo area principal, says this is one of the finest farm businesses in the area, with some 13,000 guests annually, an occupancy of over 60 percent and excellent potential for expansion. Included is a highly successful and popular farm stall. The farm and businesses are being sold as a going concern with a full complement of staff.
The guest farm comprises 22 rooms, all en suite, of which six are luxurious. There is also a self catering cottage and communal areas, private house for the manager and staff accommodation and conference facility which accommodates 20 people. There is a swimming pool and braai at each accommodation unit. The potential for expansion includes exclusive chalets in a hidden valley and game drives, with potential for game hunting.
"Being situated very close to the N1, just opposite the Three Sisters Ultra City, this is a favourite stop over en route to Cape Town and George, and from the coast to the north. Thousands of potential customers pass this Karoo icon every day," says Rubidge.
"The surroundings of the farm are extremely scenic, and the farm includes existing game, and farm animals with added appeal for visiting families. The hidden valleys, dolerite koppies and exceptional views make this the best opportunity on the Karoo N1 and an appealing lifestyle for someone who wants to acquire a very profitable and well established business on a Karoo farm."
He says being the most established farm stall on the Karoo's N1, at Travalia you can buy the best Karoo produce - with thousands of regular visitors stopping there each month. "The guest list for the accommodation reads like a who's who in South Africa and some guests have been staying there for visits over an entire a decade. The surroundings are beautiful and there is game on the property. The hidden valleys, dolerite koppies, amazing views surely make this the best opportunity on the N1 and a great escape for someone who wants to walk in to a very profitable business on a Karoo farm with plenty of space and quality facilities."
'Travalia' has an interesting history, and originally included a coach stop. By the time diamonds were discovered in 1868, many traders, travellers, explorers and missionaries were familiar with the Karoo, where there were already well established routes to the interior. One of the arteries passed a beautiful area of dolerite koppies known as Three Sisters - as it does to this day - where there is a fork, and a coach stop on a farm - Travalia. Today the N10 goes on to the old diamond route to Kimberley.
The farm's history incorporates a story of a young man, George Hamman, and friends, who were on their way to seek their fortunes at the diamond diggings in Kimberley. He became so ill with pneumonia that he was left behind, destined to die at the outpost, however, unknown to him a group of San people were watching him from a distance, and they took him in and nursed him back to health. As he recovered, Hamman became so enchanted by the beauties of the Karoo - the sunsets and dawn, crisp fresh air and the landscapes all captivated him. He swore that if he recovered he would buy the ground, and so he did. Always mindful of the kindness of the local San people and their care, he turned no one away from his door. So it was that Travalia began with a firm base of friendship and hospitality - a tradition which is still observed today.
