Wildlife and Safety: The farm hosts diverse wildlife, and the owners emphasize caution due to potential dangers. Although it is safe to walk or cycle, maintaining a safe distance from animals, especially Giraffes, Warthogs, and Zebras, is crucial. Professional culling and annual relocation efforts manage stock levels.
Access Gates: Security is ensured through a remote-controlled access gate. Strict closure adherence prevents animal escapes. Remote controls are provided, and additional ones can be purchased at R275 each.
Rates and Taxes: Monthly municipal rates, payable directly to Ndlambe Municipality, are obligatory. Houses must be off-grid for electricity as no municipal services are provided.
Water: Sensible water usage is emphasized, with rainwater collection as the primary source. Water is available at R300 per 500L for building purposes. However, roofing materials need to be carefully considered for new installations in terms of water collection. Rain water cannot be collected off a thatch structure.
Erection of New Buildings: Construction of eco-friendly houses, that are no smaller than 80 square meters, are encouraged. Container homes will be considered. Privacy-conscious dwelling orientations will be agreed upon. Fire prevention measures must also be a consideration.
Fencing: Plots contribute to animal grazing, prohibiting full enclosure. Safety and security fences adjacent to houses are allowed, while approximately 6.5km of outer perimeter game fence is maintained.
Domestic Pets and Birds: Pets are allowed with owners assuming the associated risks. Dogs must be leashed outside fenced areas, and the encouragement of indigenous plants is emphasized.
Refuse: Homeowners manage their own refuse with options for disposal. Recycling and composting are promoted.
Access to Farm Land: Homeowners enjoy access via designated routes, with reduced-rate campsites available. Respect for tranquillity and adherence to signage are essential.
Roads: Main access roads are maintained, and new roads require permission. Vehicle access varies, with some roads necessitating a 4x4. Wetland areas are demarcated to prevent vehicle entry.
