This farm is ideal for cattle, boergoats and game as there are some thorn trees and natural bush camps as well as the grass camps.
The position is perfect for a lifestyle farm, with easy access from both Grahamstown and Port Elizabeth.
A game farm with a lodge would be a very good option, considering the vegetation and beautiful views. This is a tourist-rich and malaria-free area, with well-known game reserves like Shamwari, Amakhale and Addo Elephant National Park nearby. Game breeding is another option.
