Approximately 1.5 hectares of fertile riverfront land along the lower section of the property is irrigated and currently utilised for grazing, while the remainder comprises the established farmstead and unspoiled Karoo veld.

Nature lovers will appreciate the farm’s unique setting: the Bosrivier runs through the property, while the nearby Grootrivier lies just 500 metres away. Hiking trails begin right at your doorstep, offering endless opportunities to explore this pristine region with its rich heritage and history.
What truly sets this property apart is the established and operational guest farm, Sionshoop Guest Farm, successfully running for five years. This creates an immediate income stream and a turnkey business opportunity for investors or lifestyle buyers looking to step into hospitality with ease.
Fully enclosed, secure, and sold with furniture and operational inventory included, this property offers a seamless transition into ownership.
